Abstract: This study describes and compares the performance of two heuristics (PST-Prim and modified nearest neighbor algorithm) with three extended use heuristic algorithms (nearest neighbor, random solution and trivial solution). The five techniques are used to solve the problem of open routing of OVRP vehicles. Seventeen comparative problems of extended use were used. The technique that obtained the best performance in terms of objective function (in 82% of the solutions) and route with the least travel (in 71% of the solutions) was the PST-Prim algorithm. The trivial solution algorithm was the one that consumed the least execution time.
