An Integrated Production, Distribution, and Inventory Planning System

An Integrated Production, Distribution, and Inventory Planning System

The critical importance of integrating production, distribution, and inventory (PDI) operations has long been recognized by top management of many companies. Now. using (he laiest advances in Managemenl Science modeling and solution technology, an integruied computer-based PDI system has saved approximately $18 million dollars during its first three years of implemenlalion for a major national ...

Designing an integrated production/distribution and inventory planning model of fixed-life perishable products

This paper aims to investigate the integrated production/distribution and inventory planning for perishable products with fixed life time in the constant condition of storage throughout a two-echelon supply chain by integrating producers and distributors. This problem arises from real environment in which multi-plant with multi-function lines produce multi-perishable products with fixed life ti...

An Integrated Aggregate Production Planning Model with Two-Phase Production System and Maintenance Costs

Aggregate production planning (APP) is one of the most important issues carried out in manufacturing environments which seeks efficient planning, scheduling and coordination of all production activities that optimizes the company's objectives. In this paper, we develop a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for an integrated aggregate production planning system with closed loop supply ...
