The model of scheduling transportation vehicles in the function of improving transportation in supply chains

This paper presents a new, transformed, multi-criteria model for scheduling transportation vehicles in the process of goods transportation with maximal utilization of their capacities and minimal time needed for completing all jobs. The problem of scheduling was treated as a company's need for delivering goods from one central warehouse to several destinations, or delivery from several destinations to one/more warehouses. The problem of scheduling transportation vehicles is based on the theorem of the number of independent zeros in a matrix, while conversion of values in the matrix is done for getting zeros in the matrix. An illustrated example was presented.
