Impact on inventory costs with consolidation of distribution centers
The consolidation of Distribution Centers (DCs) is a new trend in global logistics management, with a reduction in inventory costs often being cited as one of the main bene®ts. This paper uses an analytical modeling approach to study the impact on facility investment and inventory costs when several DCs are consolidated into a central DC. In particular, our model suggests that consolidation lea...
متن کاملDistribution center consolidation games
We study the location-inventory model as introduced by Teo et al. (2001) to analyze the impact of consolidation of distribution centers on facility and inventory costs. We extend their result on profitability of consolidation. We associate a cooperative game with each location-inventory situation and prove that this game has a nonempty core for identical and independent demand processes. This i...
متن کاملGenerating Stable Loading Patterns for Pallet Loading Problems
This paper describes an integer programming model for generating stable loading patterns for the Pallet Loading Problem. The algorithm always gives optimal or near-optimal utilization of the pallet area and fulfills stability criteria for 98% of the test cases.
متن کاملServer consolidation for internet applications in virtualized data centers
Server consolidation based on virtualization technology simplifies system administration and improves energy efficiency by improving resource utilizations and reducing the physical machine (PM) number in contemporary service-oriented data centers. The elasticity of Internet applications changes the consolidation technologies from addressing virtual machines (VMs) to PMs mapping schemes which mu...
متن کاملVirtual Machine Consolidation in Cloud Data Centers Using ACO Metaheuristic
In this paper, we propose the AVVMC VM consolidation scheme that focuses on balanced resource utilization of servers across different computing resources (CPU, memory, and network I/O) with the goal of minimizing power consumption and resource wastage. Since the VM consolidation problem is strictly NP-hard and computationally infeasible for large data centers, we propose adaptation and integrat...
