A location-inventory model for large three-level supply chains
We study the location-inventory problem in three-level supply networks. Our model integrates three decisions: the distribution centers location, flows allocation, and shipment sizes. We propose a nonlinear continuous formulation, including transportation, fixed, handling and holding costs, which decomposes into a closed-form equation and a linear program when the DC flows are fixed. We thus dev...
متن کاملMathematical Decision Model for Reverse Supply Chains Inventory
In the reverse supply chain inventory theory, inventory models are concerned with the demand of reusable parts, stock replenishment, ordering cycle, delivery lead time, number of disassembled products, ordering costs. The particularity of these models consists in the occurrence of high uncertainties of the quantity and quality of the returned products and resulting parts. To overcome the proble...
متن کاملA Three-Level Mathematical Model for an r-interdiction Hierarchical Facilities Location Problem
In general, any system may be at risk in a case of losing the critical facilities by natural disasters or terrorist attacks. This paper focuses on identifying the critical facilities and planning to reduce the effect of this event. A three-level model is suggested in the form of a defender-attacker-defender. It is assumed that the facilities are hierarchical and capable of nesting. Also, the at...
متن کاملCoordinating Replenishment Cycles in Three-Stage Inventory-Distribution Supply Chains
⎯There have been many studies on two-stage supply models. Because supply chains are increasingly more complicated, this study considers the three-stage supply chain configurations which involve multiple companies at each stage and each company at the upstream stages can supply two or more customers. The coordination mechanisms for the members along the chain are achieved in the following two as...
متن کاملStrategic Inventory Placement in Multi-Echelon Supply Chains: Three Essays
A central question in supply chain management is how to coordinate activities and inventories over a large number of stages and locations, while providing a high level of service to end customers. One theoretically and practically important methodology for addressing this problem is the guaranteed service (GS) framework, in which the stages of the supply chain operate according to base stock po...
