Improvement of an Plant Logistics System Problem with Vehicle Routing Solution Methods

Plant Logistics when compared to Inbound and Outbound Logistics is a less studied subject open to improvement. It is aimed to construct such a plant logistics structure in a lean manufacturing environment that enables less handling costs, increasing value added time and having an easily manageable and standardized material handling system. With this aim, semi-finished goods distribution in the factory is considered as a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). Distribution routes to be completed by the distribution operator in a minimum time using the Clarke and Wright Algorithm and the Capacity Limited Vehicle Routing Problem mathematical model, which are one of the VRP solution methods. The results were compared with the current situation and the best result was the Clarke and Wright algorithm
