Abstract
Vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a combinatorial optimization problem and always is classified as an NP-hard problem that is difficult to be solved. The VRP is one of the most widely studied topics in the fields of Operations Research (OR) and logistics, and has received the greatest attention in the scientific literatures. The VRP is extensively studied because of its wide applicability and its importance in determining efficient strategies for reducing operational costs in distribution networks. This article aims to provide a basic knowledge of deterministic VRP and stochastic VRP with uncertain demand. Also, the stochastic models and its solution methods are reviewed and categorized in accordance to the relevant literature.
