What will I learn?
This Optimization Course provides a focused, hands-on approach to designing and solving small-scale vehicle routing problems. You will gather and clean real distance and cost data, construct exact models using modern solvers, and apply heuristics and metaheuristics. Learn to assess trade-offs, perform sensitivity analysis, and convert algorithmic results into clear, reliable routing decisions for actual operations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build VRP and CVRP models: define variables, constraints, and cost structures.
- Use Gurobi or CPLEX to solve small routing instances and extract optimal routes.
- Design and code Clarke-Wright and local search heuristics for quick route planning.
- Implement metaheuristics such as tabu search and genetic algorithms for CVRP.
- Analyze routing trade-offs, conduct sensitivity checks, and report practical insights.
