Abstract
The solution to a dynamic context of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is challenging. Routing and replenishment decisions are necessary by considering the assignment of customers to vehicles when the information is gradually revealed over horizon time. The procedure to solve this type of problems is referred to as route reoptimization, which is the best option for minimizing expected transportation cost without incurring failures of unsatisfied demand on a route. This paper proposes a heuristic algorithm for the reoptimization of CVRP in which the number of customers increases. The algorithm uses proposed performance metrics to reduce route dispersion and minimize length. The initial solution is generated using the savings algorithm and then enhanced using the Record-to-Record travel metaheuristic. By including or reducing new customers in the system, a reoptimization is performed which considers the visited nodes and edges as fixed. The optimization of the algorithm is implemented hierarchically by first minimizing dispersion and then minimizing distance. Next, the local search procedure is executed to improve the solution. A classic optimization is performed on all instances using the original and new customers’ information for later comparison to minimize distance. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was validated using real-world cases from the literature. The results are promising and show the effectiveness of the proposed method for solving the considered problem by using reoptimization procedures in order to achieve good approximation ratios within short computing times.

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
