Abstract
In the traditional multi-period inventory routing problem (MIRP), traveling distance is considered as the only measurement of vehicles’ variable transportation cost; however, it is in fact the fuel consumption cost, not the distance, which is the greater concern. This paper evaluates vehicles’ variable transportation cost by fuel consumption, which is influenced by distance, load, and fuel price. It presents an integer program to formally characterize the fuel consumption considered MIRP (FCMIRP), which can help enterprises obtain a more accurate tradeoff between transportation and inventory costs. It also benefits the environment, because reducing fuel consumption will curb carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. Valid inequalities are added to strengthen the model and use a branch-and-cut algorithm. Computational tests indicate that the FCMIRP can decrease fuel consumption and total cost over the traditional model. Factors that influence the results of FCMIRP are also discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
