Dynamic Complexities in a Supply Chain System with Lateral Transshipments

The supply-chain pick-up and delivery problem with transshipments

Abstract In this work, a strict MILP formulation for the supply-chain pick-up and delivery problem with transshipments is presented (SC-PDP-T). This problem adds the option for transferring goods from one vehicle to another. This additional flexibility is very attractive for the optimal management of supply chains. Based on the novel features of the SC-PDP-T, this work addresses the major model...

A Location-Inventory Model with Lateral Transshipments

A Study on Productivity Model of Supply Chain in Industrial Units by System Dynamic Approach

In this decade, due to the current competitive environment,reputation of industrial brands is markedly dependent upon theperformance of their supply chain. Therefore, it is necessary to examinethe factors affecting their supply chain so as to increase the competitivenessof their chain. Productivity is among the most important factorsin the advancement of industry and its evaluation requires the...

Lateral Transshipments

A Network Design Model for a Resilient Closed-Loop Supply Chain with Lateral Transshipment

This paper develops a model for the closed-loop supply chain network design with disruption risk. By considering supply disruption, two factors including extra inventory and lateral transshipment are used as resilience strategies. The main purpose is to reduce the supply chain costs due to the location decisions, quantity of products between different levels and lost sale. Disruption in a suppl...
