Perishable goods delivery and scheduling with time window by genetic algorithm

This paper focuses on the problem of delivery and scheduling for perishable goods with time-window. The aim is to find an optimal solution to minimize whole cost of delivery system. The challenge of this problem is that there are several trade-off between time constraint and cost constraint. We prop...

Description
Summary:This paper focuses on the problem of delivery and scheduling for perishable goods with time-window. The aim is to find an optimal solution to minimize whole cost of delivery system. The challenge of this problem is that there are several trade-off between time constraint and cost constraint. We propose that genetic algorithm will be applied to research to find solution which meet customers' requirements and save cost in great extend.
