This paper studies the Single-Vehicle Cyclic Inventory Routing Problem (SV-CIRP) with the objective of simultaneously minimizing distribution and inventory costs for the customers and maximizing the collected rewards. A subset of customers is selected for the vehicle, including the quantity to be de...
