The distribution of commodities, known by the generic name vehicle routing problem, is one of the most important components of supply chain. The vehicle routing problem, which is a hard combinatorial problem, has therefore attracted considerable research attention and a number of algorithms has been proposed for its solution. In this paper we present an extensive review of heuristic solution techniques for the vehicle routing and traveling salesman problems.
