Company’s challenge

The main challenge is to optimize the planning of industrial waste collection routing while complying with all the specific business constraints. This requires accounting for:

• Synchronization of the type of operations: depot, pickup, replacement, movement and emptying, handling…;
• Selection of container types (Ampliroll, compactor skip, self-tipping bin, flatbed skip, chain skip, DIB container, etc.) and vehicle type, and monitoring their availability over time;
• Selection among multiple disposal options ;
• Compliance with business constraints related to regulations on driving/rest times, time windows, driver certifications, etc.

Solution provided

This optimization solver has reduced transport costs by 25% and automated planning in just a few seconds of calculation.

It has also enabled scenario simulations to be carried out in order to test different solutions according to their cost, speed and distance.
