Abstract
It is the primary objective of the numerical investigation to assess to what extent the chosen approach is valid for different cases. The investigated cases all center around operative transportation planning in the consumer goods industry, as described in Sect. 3.2. In this section, the following will be outlined: First, a general description of the chosen test-cases and implementation environment is given and initial results of the numerical investigation are introduced. In the second subsection, the input data is varied in several scenarios and the results are presented and discussed. Subsequently, some control and filter parameters are subject to manipulation and the consequences are investigated. Further variations to the structure and specification of the input data are assessed afterwards. Finally, the findings are aggregated and compared to instances based on real life data, and an overall conclusion is drawn.
