- Abstract
Ensuring a consistent, continuous, and efficient spare parts supply is a critical issue that must be addressed in the equipment support system. In order to effectively improve the coverage level and handle the common asymmetry information present in practical applications, the spare parts transport vehicle routing and scheduling model was further optimized. We integrated supportability requirements and uncertainty theory into the model to better describe the actual uncertain demand of each site. We selected three critical supportability indicators as constraints, redefined them with uncertain variables, and then completed the chance-constrained model on this basis. Once the confidence level is specified, the uncertain constraints can be transformed into deterministic constraints, and finally, the equivalent deterministic model can be solved easily. In addition, a feasible solution can be found through a genetic algorithm, and a numerical example is provided to validate the model's rationality. The proposed method successfully seeks the balance between the total cost and supportability.
