Title
The distance constrained multiple vehicle traveling purchaser problem.
Abstract
•We study the distance constrained multiple vehicle traveling purchaser problem.•We analyze and test alternative mathematical formulations.•We devise a branch-and-price algorithm embedding a restricted master heuristic.•We solve instances with up to 100 markets and 200 products.
