<jats:p> In “Worst-Case Benefit of Restocking for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands,” Bertazzi and Secomandi shed new light on an old yet timely problem in transportation. They analyze the benefit of planning replenishment trips in the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands, taking as a benchmark their execution only upon stock-outs. Their worst-case investigation provides a theoretical explanation of a phenomenon that has been observed in prior numerical studies. </jats:p>
