Shipment Consolidation: Who Pays for It and How Much?
Consolidating orders in inventory management increases order size, exploits economy of scale, and potentially lowers costs. But it is not always apparent how to divide up the resulting lower costs. The analysis of cost allocation in different inventory settings has a name and is now referred to as Inventory Games. This work examines collaborative procurement for the EOQ model for multiple items...
متن کاملOptimizing the Static and Dynamic Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in Container Terminals
The Minimum Cost Flow (MCF) problem is a well-known problem in the area of network optimisation. To tackle this problem, Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) is the fastest solution method. NSA has three extensions, namely Network Simplex plus Algorithm (NSA+), Dynamic Network Simplex Algorithm (DNSA) and Dynamic Network Simplex plus Algorithm (DNSA+). The objectives of the research reported in this...
متن کاملIntegrated Inventory Replenishment and Temporal Shipment Consolidation: A Comparison of Quantity-Based and Time-Based Models
In this paper we present two models for joint stock replenishment and shipment consolidation decisions which arise in the context of vendor managed inventory. Stock replenishment from suppliers or shipment to customers each incurs a lump-sum cost to the vendor. We assume the vendor uses the reorder point, lot-size policy to replenish stock and one of two schemes to dispatch shipment: the time-b...
متن کاملLogistics Network Design with Supplier Consolidation Hubs and Multiple Shipment Options
An important service provided by third-party logistics (3PL) firms is to manage the inbound logistics of raw materials and components from multiple suppliers to several manufacturing plants. A key challenge for these 3PL firms is to determine how to coordinate and consolidate the transportation flow, so as to get the best overall logistics performance. One tactic is to establish consolidation h...
متن کاملA Heuristics Iterative Reasoning System for Enhancing Shipment Consolidation in Logistics Operations
Shipment consolidation is a laborious and, sometimes, tedious task for airfreight forwarders since there is enormous information to be considered and literally quite a number of practical constraints to be fulfilled. In Hong Kong, the unique forwarding operation and rapid cargo flow has further complicated the consolidating process in such a way that local forwarders are almost impossible to ac...
