Abstract

Transportation cost is the critical element of the total logistics costs of an organization. One way to reduce the cost that occurs from this operation is to optimize the delivery route. However, with the increase of delivery location, the potential routes are growing exponentially, escalating the complexity to find the optimal routes. Recent research from F. Arnold and K. Sörensen has shown that Capacitated-Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) has some important features to define whether the solution is good or not. Using the features of CVRP, they successfully guide the algorithm in the improvement phase to solve the large-scale CVRP. In this paper, we are focus on the initial phase, employing the Clarke and Wright algorithm (CW algorithm), to construct an initial solution of large-scale CVRP. We attempt to guide the CW algorithm using the most important feature of VRP to solve quickly and effectively. Later, the algorithm also tested to solve various problems' size, until up to 30,000 nodes with the competitive result and promising as a construction algorithm, in the initial phase, to construct another more optimal set of algorithms.
