Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with time windows is a generalization of the classic VRP. Specifically, every customer must be met in a certain time window. Sometimes in the real life, it is not possible to carry different products simultaneously. In other words, these products are non-adjacent. This paper presents a comprehensive model for the vehicle routing problem with time windows and the possibility of delivery split of non-adjacent products. The proposed model is an extension of VRP considering the profit in a bi-objective optimization model.
