Conference Paper Description

With the escalating demand for meal delivery services, this study delves into the Meal Delivery Routing Problem (MDRP) within the context of last-mile logistics. Focusing on the critical aspects of courier allocation and order fulfillment, we introduce a novel approach utilizing a GRASP metaheuristic. The algorithm optimizes the assignment of couriers to orders, considering dynamic factors such as courier availability, order demands, and geographical locations. Real-world instances from a Colombian delivery app form the basis of our computational analysis. Calibration of GRASP parameters reveals a delicate trade-off between solution quality and computational time. Comparative results with a simulation-optimization based study underscore GRASP’s competitive performance, demonstrating strengths in fulfilling orders and routing efficiency across diverse instances. This research enhances operational efficiency in the burgeoning food delivery industry, shedding light on practical algorithms for last-mile logistics optimization.
