Abstract: We present an optimization algorithm that hybridizes heuristic and exact methods to solve the problem of a real-world distribution company. Our algorithm combines three existing optimization techniques (Ant Colony Optimization, Column Generation and Mixed Integer Programming). Standard Column Generation is improved with an incremental search technique able to speed up the entire process. We present computational results on 14 real-world instances obtained from our industrial partner. Finally, we compare the solutions obtained by our algorithm against those currently computed by the route planning office of our industrial partner. Beside cost savings, we asses the reliability of our approach in terms of computational time and quality.
