Production routing and pollution routing problems are two important issues of vehicle routing problem (VRP) of the supply chain planning system. Both determine an optimum path for the vehicle, in addition, production routing problem (PRP) deals with production and distribution whereas pollution routing problem deals with carbon footprint. In this paper, we develop a VRP that simultaneously considers production and pollution routing problems with time window (PPRP-TW). The proposed PPRP-TW is a NP-hard problem concentrating to optimize the routing problem over the periods. A fleet of identical capacitated vehicles leave from a production plant to a set of customers scattered in different locations. The transportation part of PPRP-TW is concerned with carbon footprint. Thus, a multi-objective multi-vehicle PPRP-TW (MMPPRP-TW) is formulated with two objectives: minimization of the total operational cost and minimization of the total emissions (equivalently, minimization of the fuel consumption). A hybrid Self-Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (SLPSO) algorithm in multi-objective framework is proposed to solve the MMPPRP-TW. To establish superior computational efficiency of hybrid SLPSO algorithm, a comparison with the well-known Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is performed.
