Joint Two-Echelon Inventory Model for Optimal Inventory Decisions and Shipment Policies under Non-Linear Price Dependent Demand

In supply chain management, achieving effective coordination among manufacturers and retailers has become a pertinent research issue. Supply chain coordination is a joint decision policy achieved by the manufacturer and a retailer. This work proposes ajoint two-level supply chain model with a singlemanufacturer and a single-retailer. The novelty of the proposed model is that the demand is expre...

Time-partitioning heuristic algorithm for optimal production, inventory, and transportation planning with direct shipment

We developed a mixed integer linear programming model for an integrated decision problem of production, inventory, and transportation planning. Our model combines the direct shipment into the production, inventory, and distribution planning. The objective was to minimize the total operation cost which is comprised of production setup cost, inventory holding cost, transportation cost, and reorde...
