In logistics, a milk run is a delivery method where a single vehicle makes multiple stops along a pre-defined route to pick up or drop off goods at various locations. This approach aims to consolidate shipments, reduce transportation costs, and improve efficiency by avoiding the need for multiple individual deliveries.

In many logistics operations, efficiency is not just about the number of stops but about the distinct locations visited. To optimize routes effectively, you may want to limit the number of unique pickup or drop-off clusters a vehicle visits in a sequence, rather than just the total number of stops.
