A closed-loop supply chain is one of the vital parts for maintaining the success of enterprises, where forward and reverse logistics are integrated to eliminate wastes (e.g., transportation costs). However, previous studies related to the Vehicle Routing Problem have almost overlooked this integration. This research therefore introduces a variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem with cross-docking (VRPCD) by simultaneously considering three additional factors: (1) various types of vehicles in terms of their capacities and unit travel costs; (2) multiple cross-docks; and (3) the integration of forward and reverse logistics. In particular, the flows of the network consist of distributing goods …
