Integrated Production and Distribution Problem of Perishable Products with a Minimum Total Order Weighted Delivery Time

A new approach in graph- based integrated production and distribution scheduling for perishable products

This study is concerned with how the quality of perishable products can be improved by shortening the time interval between production and distribution. As special types of food such as dairy products decay fast, the integration of production and distribution scheduling (IPDS) is investigated. An integrated scheduling of both processes improves the performance and costs because the separated sc...

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...

Integrated Production-Distribution Scheduling to Optimize the Tradeoff between Order Delivery Performance and Total Cost

The scheduling problem we consider is often faced by manufacturers who make time-sensitive products such as fashion apparel and toys, which typically have large product types and sell only during specific seasons. Consider the production and distribution scheduling decisions such a manufacturer needs to make. The customers (e.g. distributors or retailers) often set due dates on the orders they ...
