Title
Differential evolution algorithms for scheduling raw milk transportation
Abstract
•The heterogeneous fleet with many tanks is considered to collect raw milk.•Raw milk from different centers cannot be transferred into the same compartment.•Both traveling costs and cleaning costs are considered as the objective function.•Five modified DEs were proposed including reincarnation and survival processes.•Skipped customer and multi-route processes were developed in the decoding process.
