Solved: Sima Donuts supplies its retail outlets with the

ingredients for

Sima Donuts supplies its retail outlets with the ingredients for making fresh donuts. A central
warehouse from which trucks are dispatched is located in Atlanta. Trucks can leave the Atlanta
warehouse as early as 3 A.M. to make pallet-load deliveries to the Florida market and may
return at any time. The trucks may also pick up empty containers and supplies from vendors in
the general area. Pickups are allowed only after all deliveries on a route are made. A simple
linear grid is placed over the Georgia-Florida area and grid coordinates found for warehouse,
retail, and vendor sites. The 0, 0 coordinates are in the northeast corner. For example, the
Atlanta warehouse is located at X = 2084, Y = 7260. The scaling factor on the map, including a
road circuity factor, is 0.363. The total time on a route may be 40 hours and total route distance
may be up to 1,400 miles. Team drivers are used so that no overnight breaks are required, but
one-hour rest breaks are allowed at 12 noon and 8 P.M. each day. Average driving speed is
taken to be 45 miles per hour. Additional data about the stops are as follows:

There are three trucks with a 20-pallet capacity, one with a 25-pallet capacity, and one with a
30-pallet capacity. The cost for drivers and truck is $1.30 per mile.

Design the routes for this set of deliveries and pickups. Which trucks are to be assigned to
which routes? What is the dispatch plan? What is the cost for the dispatch?
