hi folks,


I am trying to solve trailer load allocation planning.This would have been easier if i had w*h*d in my data set, but i have a combination of products for a particular trailer type.And i have multiple dealers/destination spreaded across the region. Have attached below a scenario which explains :1) assume there are 22 product item named as ( R, V, X , B, )

2) I have some dealers to which i have to send combinations (listed below) of these 22 products

3) Dealer/Destination list :
Dealr CodeDealr City
S441Manchester

4) to send this product from origin to different dealers i have 2 types of truck


  • Type 1 Truck : can have a combination of loading product -


  • 1st Combination : 6 numbers of R product as { 6R }
  • 2nd Combination : 3 numbers of V product and 2 numbers of R product as { 3V, 2R }
  • 3rd Combination : 5 numbers of V product as { 5V }



  • Type 2 Truck : can have a combination of loading product :


  • 4th Combination{ 3V, 3X }
  • 5th Combination{ 5B,1V }

**the specified combinations actually utilizes full space of truck}

Product Combination Pool to fit in Truck
Truck Type 1Truck Type 2
Comb16RComb43V,3X
Comb23V,2RComb55B,1V
Comb35VComb6 -

<tbody>
</tbody>

5) Also we have possible routes of plying as :

  • ROUTE A: Manchester , Leeds
  • ROUTE B: Nottingham, Melbourne





  • I want to figure out what model i need prepare my data set to achieve below:
  • How to identify combinations stock (mark them as Allocated in data set after allocation) and idntify what number of trucks i will require ?

**We can use FIFO methodology to prioritize the product combination on basis on bill date.


Regards
Centaur.
