In this paper, the vehicle routing problem with time window of combinational optimization is used to analyze and model the rolling batch planning problem. Genetic algorithm and heuristic are used to solve the problem. Simulation results based on the actual production data show that this model is precise and the genetic algorithm based method is very promising.
