For this study, surveys were conducted as well as analysis of secondary data from technical reports of governmental agencies and technical reports and information provided by associations of undertakings which have already been carrying out reverse logistics on a mandatory basis, prior to the law n° 12.305/2010.

“…Unlike the problem dealt in this study, many researchers have focused on the Pickup and Delivery (PDP) problems that dealt with vehicles start from one depot, pickup and deliver all products and then return to the same depot. However, we find that the final delivery by the delivery boys to the reader's home has not received much attention in the past including the studies conducted by Min (1989;Mosheiov, 1994;Nagy and Salhi, 1998;Salhi and Nagy, 1999;Gendreau et al, 1999;Dethloff, 2001;2002;Montane and Galvao, 2002;Süral and Bookbinder, 2003;Wasner and Zäphel, 2004;Halskausr et al, 2007;Hoff et al, 2009;Wang and Chen, 2013) have focused up to the drop points of the vehicles and their route optimizations. However, the aim of the problem is to find maximum customer coverage and optimal delivery consistency.…”

This paper attempts to optimize the various newspaper distribution scenario as observed in India. It found from the literature that earlier research work carried out in optimizing the vehicle routing networks problem using time window and scope was limited to distribution from newspaper printing location to the vendor point of distribution. This paper focuses on the distribution of newspaper from vendor to the newspaper reader/customer. In this study case study method is used and the circulation activity is modelled with different field scenarios with a aim of minimizing the overall (total) delivery time of the Newspaper. The major aim of this paper was to identify the issues, while distributing the newspaper by the vendor at the hub to the end reader. The company under consideration had an objective of finishing the last newspaper delivery by 6:30 am. To optimize the same the paper identified the following scenario: Case 1. Delivery to Independent Houses Located in a Community Case 2. Delivery to an Apartment Cluster Case 3. Delivery considering the various modes of transportation The present paper optimized the same using genetic algorithm as the optimizing tool. The model with different scenarios presented in the paper will help the newspaper distribution planners to understand the various issues on the field and achieve to have a successful distribution strategy within the set objective of reaching the last copy of newspaper by 6:30 am to the reader. This will help not only the newspaper company under consideration but the entire newspaper industry. This paper contributes to body of knowledge of newspaper industry its major research implications are 1. It provide insights for a particular type of functioning environment, where speed and time play an critical role. 2. In certain type the time delays in the distribution network will impact the consumer's preference which will lead to improved market share and more satisfied customers.
