Abstract/Resumo
The purpose of this chapter is to study and explain the impact of the length of the time windows in the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). A case study was explored with the aim of understanding the relationship between the use of time windows with different intervals and the cost of charges, client satisfaction, and travel time. The solution presented studies the influence that time windows have on delivery costs. In it, it is possible to verify that the number and capacity of needed vehicles to the service vary, as well as the number of served clients in a route, according to their schedule and demand, and the size of the time windows in which deliveries are made. As a result, the time window negotiation is important and related to the operational services with a huge impact on the global business.
