  • 企業在現今激烈的競爭環境下想要增加獲利,除了提高銷售量及降低生產成本外,另一方面就是提升物流的效率。因此,企業必須提供有效率的物流運籌網路來因應快速的顧客回應需求,而導入精實物流的概念被視為是減少車子的派遣進而降低公司的固定成本的新思維。精實概念與車輛途程問題結合後,最主要的貢獻就是有效減少車子數,並且最小化車輛路徑距離,減少運輸時間的浪費。
    本研究提出基植於帝國主義競爭演算法結合掃描法的改良式帝國主義競爭演算法(IICA),對具有容量限制的車輛途程問題快速提出一個近似最佳解,主要目標在於滿足所有限制條件下,達到總成本(運輸及營運)的最小化。為了驗證所提出IICA演算法的效能,本研究與基因演算法做比較,求解60組不同車輛容量下運途的標竿問題,在每一組標竿問題中,本研究的IICA演算法都能找出比基因演算法更好的最佳成本解,總平均成本改善率達到7.78%。相較於基因演算法,我們所提出的IICA演算法呈現出具有相當穩健且有效搜尋全局最佳解的能力,且能更快收斂到較佳的解。


    Enterprises want to make profits in the extremely competitive environment. In addition to expanding sales and reducing manufacturing cost, the efficiency of logistics management is also considered as the additional source of profit. Increasing efficiency of logistics becomes critical in the supply chain due to customer’s quick response requirements. Therefore, lean logistics is considered a new thinking to decrease the number of the dispatched vehicles and reduce the fixed cost of the company. This thesis focuses on the vehicle routing problem with lean principles aiming at finding the shortest routes by using the minimum number of vehicles and shortest travel distance.
    A novel algorithm, called the Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (IICA), is proposed in thesis to solve the combinatorial optimal solution for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem. The IICA method is based on the new developed Imperialist Competitive Algorithm combined with the sweep method to quickly generate a near optimum solution. Comparisons are made between the IICA method and the Genetic Algorithm (GA) over the experiments of different capacitated benchmark problems to validate the performance of the IICA. Experiment results show that the IICA was able to discover new solutions than the GA for all 60 benchmarks problems. Also, the computational results show that the IICA is robust, converge fast and competitive with overall improvement of 7.78% over the GA.
