                            <p>Vehicle Routing Problems aim to deliver goods to a set of customers with known demands by following minimum cost vehicle routes from one warehouse to the same warehouse. However, the scope of the problem has been differentiated and expanded due to the demands of real life. One of these situations is that customer demands are not limited to only one product type and a single warehouse is insufficient to meet customer demands. The border operations in recent years are carried out with the personnel reinforcement provided by the troops. In this study, the problem of the availability of pharmaceutical products against possible epidemic and diseases within the scope of military health logistics is discussed. Initially, the intense demand points of the troops working to ensure border security were determined. Then, a multi-product, multi-depot vehicle routing problem model was developed, which will transport 6 different product groups produced in the Military Pharmaceutical Factory to the troops with the help of the factory&#039;s 2 warehouses. As a result, the routes and distances covered using the existing vehicle fleet and warehouse centers have been revealed to meet the demands of the troops. Then, new results of the existing factory and vehicle fleet were obtained by expanding the problem size. The sensitivity analysis study was implemented for the distances obtained in the vehicle fleet changes used for both cases. Military health logistics is a strategic issue due to the necessity of keeping border areas ready for all kinds of adverse conditions. Due to the geopolitical position of our country, the study will be developed in the following years and will make the service provided to all of Turkey ready and effective for various needs.</p></trans-abstract>

Ancak problemin kapsamı, gerçek hayatın talepleri nedeniyle farklılaşmış ve genişlemiştir. Bu durumlardan bir tanesi müşteri taleplerinin yalnızca bir ürün tipi ile sınırlı kalmaması ve tek deponun müşteri taleplerini karşılamaya yetersiz kalmasıdır. Son yıllarda yaşanan hudut operasyonları birliklerden sağlanan personel takviyesi ile gerçekleşmektedir. Bu çalışmada askeri sağlık lojistiği kapsamında ecza ürünlerinin olası salgın, hastalıklar vb. sebeplere karşı hazırda bulunması problemi ele alınmıştır. Öncelikle hudut güvenliğini sağlamada görev yapan birliklerin yoğun talep noktaları belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra Askeri İlaç Fabrikası’nda üretilen 6 farklı ürün grubunun fabrikanın 2 deposu yardımıyla birliklere sevkiyatını gerçekleştirecek çok ürünlü çok depolu araç rotalama problemi modeli geliştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak birlik taleplerini karşılamak için, mevcut araç filosu ve depo merkezlerini kullanarak oluşan rotalar ve kat edilen mesafeler ortaya konmuştur. Daha sonra problem boyutu genişletilerek mevcut fabrika ve araç filosuna ait yeni sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Her iki durum için kullanılan araç filosu değişimlerinde elde edilen mesafelere dair duyarlılık analizi çalışması yapılmıştır. Askeri sağlık lojistiği, hudut bölgelerinin her türlü olumsuz koşula hazır bulundurulması gerekliliği sebebiyle stratejik bir konudur. Ülkemizin jeopolitik konumu sebebiyle yapılan çalışma ilerleyen yıllarda geliştirilerek tüm Türkiye&#039;ye verilen hizmeti çeşitli ihtiyaçlara karşı hazır ve etkin kılacaktır.</p></abstract>
