In the period vehicle routing problem, each customer requires a certain number of deliveries per week. Given these frequency requirements, customers must be allocated to days. A vehicle routing problem is solved over each day. We have improved upon best‐known solutions to problems from the literature using a new heuristic procedure. The heuristic also works well on 19 newly generated test problems.
