This paper aims to propose a multi-period vehicle routing problem for reuse systems of transport packages considering the rolling system. With the operations of reuse and/or recycling systems, effective systems for reverse logistics which disposed products are collected from customers are needed. In this paper, a multi-period vehicle routing problem for reuse system of transport package is considered, which disposed products are transported by empty capacity of many vehicles which move toward their destinations or return to their originations. In this paper, we formulate a multi-period vehicle routing problem for a multi-objective mathematical programming problem, propose a heuristic method using some limited information with respect to vehicle routines, and clarify the effectiveness of our proposed heuristics considering a rolling system from some numerical examples.
