Flexibility and dynamic optimization

Participants : L. Jourdan, M. Khouadjia, E.-G. Talbi.

In this work we propose a new method that explicitly searches for routes that are flexible enough to allow easy adaptation after a new order has arrived. For that we propose a measure of flexibility, and show that better solutions can be obtained when the "planning horizon" for all subproblems is modified to take the flexibility of solutions into account.
