An Evaluation of ACO and GA TSP in a Supply Chain Network

The need for supply chain management solutions in logistics management is the need of the hour. An E commerce based web aggregation model has been developed which aggregates the raw materials in various pockets through a common vehicle which routes the cities and ensures efficient supply at the low cost. In this paper we have developed an GA and ACO algorithm which calculates the shortest routes through which the material can be supplied to the manufacturing units. Our main aim is to compare the two algorithms and evaluate their efficiencies. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
