  2. Abstract:
  3. An advanced optimization system for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problems (VRSP), which is one of the Supply Chain Planning modules, is introduced. An object oriented system, Computer Aided Routing and Scheduling (CARS) can handle complicated distribution models using advanced heuristic optimization algorithms. To classify various types of routing and scheduling problems in a structured manner, a classification scheme is introduced based on the main objects of VRSP. Also, the modeling and solution approach in the CARS optimization engine has been elaborated. Main static and dynamic objects of the system as well as their relationships and interactions have been explained. The user interface in addition to the planning and operational features of the system is described in detail
