Abstract
In an embodiment, a set of parameters associated with a vehicle routing problem is received. A set of decision variables and a set of constraints associated with an optimization problem are received. An optimization problem is constructed. The optimization problem is divided into a set of sub-problems. Each of the set of sub-problems corresponds to a subset of warehouses of a set of warehouses. An intermediate solution is determined for each of the set of sub-problems to determine a set of routes associated with the corresponding sub-problem of the set of sub-problems. The intermediate solution associated with each of the set of sub-problems is combined to determine a final solution of the optimization problem based on the received set of constraints. The determined final solution is indicative of the set of optimal routes to be assigned to the set of vehicles. The final solution is rendered on a display device.
