    This study addresses the Three-Dimensional Loading Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (3L-CVRP), a highly complex NP-hard problem that combines vehicle routing with spatially constrained three-dimensional bin packing. To tackle this challenge, we propose an enhanced Artificial Immune System (En-AIS) that integrates a novel local search heuristic called “Bring-i-to-j,” designed to improve routing feasibility and loading efficiency. The En-AIS algorithm is further refined through rigorous parameter tuning using a full factorial design and ANOVA analysis. Comparative experiments were conducted against conventional AIS and the Firefly Algorithm (FA) across 27 benchmark instances. Results demonstrate that En-AIS consistently outperforms both baseline methods in terms of solution quality, achieving an average improvement of 15–20% while maintaining competitive computational times. These findings highlight the algorithm’s robustness and its practical potential for application in logistics and supply chain optimization tasks involving joint routing and loading decisions.

    This research investigates the enhancement of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) through hybridization with Neighborhood Improvement (NI) and parameter fine-tuning. Two main experiments were conducted: Experiment A identified the optimal integration points for NI within AIS, revealing that position 2 (AIS+NIpos2) improved solution quality by an average of 27.78% compared to other positions. Experiment B benchmarked AIS performance with various enhancement techniques. Using symmetric and asymmetric TSP datasets, the results showed that integrating NI at strategic points and fine-tuning parameters boosted AIS performance by up to 46.27% in some cases. The hybrid and fine-tuned version of AIS (AIS-th) consistently provided the best solution quality, with up to a 50.36% improvement, though it required more computational time. These findings emphasize the importance of strategic combinations and fine-tuning for creating effective optimization algorithms.
