This article addresses the production and distribution scheduling of industrial-sized gas problems when a heterogeneous fleet of trucks is considered. In the work, an MILP-based approach is proposed to deal with the characteristics of the problem. In the distribution part, for each size of truck considered, a set of feasible routes is previously generated and selected.

This article addresses the production and distribution scheduling of industrial-sized gas problems when a heterogeneous fleet of trucks is considered. In the work, an MILP-based approach is proposed to deal with the characteristics of the problem. In the distribution part, for each size of truck considered, a set of feasible routes is previously generated and selected. Then, the model is solved by considering the routes selected, choosing the ones that satisfy all the conditions imposed while optimizing production and distribution activities. It is worth remarking that the approach takes into account the lead time on production and distribution decisions. Finally, an illustrative example is presented and solved to show the impact of multi-size trucks. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in reasonable CPU times.
