Complexity of inventory routing problems when routing is easy [PDF]
AbstractIn the inventory routing problem (IRP) inventory management and route optimization are combined. The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a special case of the IRP, hence the IRP is NP‐hard. We investigate how other aspects than routing influence the complexity of a variant of the IRP.

The inventory routing problem with split deliveries
AbstractWe study the benefit of introducing split deliveries in the inventory routing problem (IRP), both when the order‐up‐to level (OU) and the maximum level replenishment policies are applied. We first propose a mathematical formulation and solve it by implementing a branch‐and‐cut algorithm. Then, we carry out a worst‐case analysis to show the cost
