Suppliers Network Optimization Model for fruit dealers in Namibia Context (Concept of multiple trip and split delivery with time constraints)

This paper attempts to discuss Supply Chain Network Optimization in the context of multiple and split delivery vehicle routing problems. There is a likelihood of efficient supply chains to minimize costs as well as improve reliance on what would be called shared networks (demands and agents). Ancient optimization models have limitations in adopting the concept of a multi-depot and split delivery. As such, this writeup elaborates more on the supply chain network optimization model: Multi-Split delivery vehicle routing problem, commonly abbreviated MDSDVRP. This model factors in different constraints in the objective function i.e. multi depot, split delivery, and timed constraints. The resultant function minimizes the supply chain's delivery times, operations, and several vehicles and, increases customer satisfaction.
