Optimal Inventory Policy with Two Suppliers
We analyze a periodic-review inventory model where the decision maker can buy from either of two suppliers. With the first supplier, the buyer incurs a high variable cost but negligible fixed cost; with the second supplier, the buyer incurs a lower variable cost but a substantial fixed cost. Consequently, ordering costs are piecewise linear and concave. We show that a reduced form of generalize...
متن کاملResearch on Optimal Policy of Single-Period Inventory Management with Two Suppliers
We study a single-period inventory control problem with two independent suppliers. With the first supplier, the buyer incurs a high variable cost but negligible fixed cost; with the second supplier, the buyer incurs a lower variable cost but a positive fixed cost. At the same time, the ordering quantity is limited. We develop the optimal inventory control policy when the holding and shortage co...
متن کاملAn Extended Compact Genetic Algorithm for Milk Run Problem with Time Windows and Inventory Uncertainty
In this paper, we introduce a model to optimization of milk run system that is one of VRP problem with time window and uncertainty in inventory. This approach led to the routes with minimum cost of transportation while satisfying all inventory in a given bounded set of uncertainty .The problem is formulated as a robust optimization problem. Since the resulted problem illustrates that grows up ...
متن کاملAn Inventory Routing Problem for Perishable Products with Stochastic Demands and Direct Deliveries
In any supply chain, distribution planning of products is of great importance to managers. With effective and flexible distribution planning, mangers can increase the efficiency of time, place, and delivery utility of whole supply chain. In this paper, inventory routing problem (IRP) is applied to distribution planning of perishable products in a supply chain. The studied supply chain is compos...
متن کاملAn Inventory of Current Available Ultrasound Devices for Dental Use
OBJECTIVE The first aim of the study was to make an inventory of the currently available ultrasound imaging devices on the market. The second aim was to identify portable ultrasound devices which could be used in general dental offices to image salivary glands, masticatory muscles and lymph nodes. Material and Methods : A list of ultrasound devices was collected from 11 international and Americ...
