| Decision variables |
| XHf,i,j | If the means of transport f travels from point i to point j, then Xf,i,j=1, otherwise Xf,i,j=0 (f∈F, i∈O∪C, j∈O∪C) |
| YHf,i,j,h | If the means of transport f travels from point i to point j carrying shipment/pallet h, then Yf,i,j,h=1, otherwise Yf,i,j,h=0 (f∈F, i∈O∪C, j∈O∪C, h∈H) |
| FHh,f | If shipment/pallet h is delivered by means of transport f than FHh,f=1, otherwise FHh,f=0 (h∈H, f∈F) |
| Constraints |
| Arrival and departure means of transport from the delivery point |
| (C15) |
| If no shipments h are to be carried on the route i,j, a means of transport does not travel that route – linking the decision variable XHf,i,j with decision variable YHf,i,j,h |
| (C16) |
| The given means of transport carries no more shipments than allowable as per its capacity volume |
| (C17) |
| Shipment being delivered to customer |
| (C18) |
| Means of transport f carries at most one course/route in the planning period |
| (C19) |
| Means of transport f carries the course/route from this distribution center to which it was assigned |
| (C20) |
| Items picked up/delivered to a delivery point |
| (C21) |
| Shipment/pallet can be taken up only from the distribution center, where it is prepared |
| (C22) |
| What means of transport the shipment is delivered to the customer |
| (C23) |
| The given shipment/pallet is delivered by only one means of transport |
| (C24) |
| A means of transport carrying only such shipment/pallet, which can carry because of the type of products in the shipment/pallet |
| (C25) |
| Binarity |
| (C26) |
