Hi Community,
I'm trying to build revenue components into my vehicle routing problem to prioritize order pick ups, but I'm running into model solutions that do not take into account the revenue.
Here are some of my concerns:
1) I've assigned revenues to each order, however, the output assigns pick up/drop off for each order instead of prioritizing which orders we pick up based on revenue.
2) Why does the model always assign all orders?
3) Is there a way I can add a constraint that says if Revenue is less than Cost do not pick up?
4) Has anyone successfulling integrated revenue/cost-benefit rules or constraints in the Vehicle Routing Problem?
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you!
