A hybrid approach for a multi-compartment container loading problem

作者:

Highlights:

• The paper deals with a real multi-compartment container loading problem.

• The problem arises in the beverage distribution under several practical constraints.

• A hybrid approach is proposed based on constructive heuristics and MILPP models.

• Computational tests are performed with a variety of instances based on real data.

• The approach obtains feasible solutions for all instances under all constraints.
