Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and interconnected issues surrounding less-than-truckload (LTL) consolidation and routing for motor carriers. The author develops a composite algorithm for finding upper and lower bounds for a special case of a network design problem that is of considerable practical importance. The algorithm exploits the special structure of the LTL consolidation problem and combines a multiplier adjustment procedure with a subgradient procedure, a problem reduction phase, and a Lagrangean-based heuristic algorithm. The book also discusses computational results that confirm the usefulness of a strategy that combines lower and upper bounding schemes, which are based on the partial optimization of some related problems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
