The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the most optimized tasks studied and it is implemented in a huge variety of industrial applications. The objective is to design a set of minimum cost paths for each vehicle in order to serve a given set of customers. Our attention is focused on a variant of VRP, the capacitated vehicle routing problem...

In this paper, the capacitated lot-sizing and scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and costs in a closed loop supply chain is addressed. The system utilizes the closed-loop supply chain strategy so that the multi-class single-level products are produced through both manufacturing of raw materials and remanufacturing of...
