The multi-echelon vehicle routing problem with cross docking in supply chain management
Multi-echelon distribution networks are quite common in supply chain and logistics. Deliveries of multiple items from factories to customers aremanagedby routing and consolidating shipments inwarehouses carrying on long-term inventories. On the other hand, cross-docking is a logistics technique that differs from warehousing because products are no longer stored at intermediate depots. Instead, ...
متن کاملSupply Chain Scheduling Using a Transportation System Composed of Vehicle Routing Problem and Cross-Docking Approaches
This study considers a combination of cross-docking and vehicle routing problem (VRP) approachesto transport raw material and parts in a supply chain. The supply chain is composed of some supplierswhich are spread in different geographical zones and multiple shared vehicles with different speedsand capacities for transporting orders from the suppliers to a manufacturer. After ...
متن کاملPricing decisions in a two-echelon decentralized supply chain using bi-level programming approach
Pricing is one of the major aspects of decision making in supply chain. In the previous works mostly a centralized environment is considered indicating the retailers cannot independently apply their decisions on the pricing strategy. Although in a two-echelon decentralized environment it may be possible that supply chain contributors have encountered with different market power situations which...
متن کاملTwo phase genetic algorithm for vehicle routing and scheduling problem with cross-docking and time windows considering customer satisfaction
Cross-docking is a new warehousing policy in logistics which is widely used all over the world and attracts many researchers attention to study about in last decade. In the literature, economic aspects has been often studied, while one of the most significant factors for being successful in the competitive global market is improving quality of customer servicing and focusing on customer satisfa...
متن کاملVehicle routing scheduling for cross-docking in the supply chain
One of the most important factors in implementing supply chain management is to efficiently control the physical flow of the supply chain. Due to its importance, many companies are trying to develop efficient methods to increase customer satisfaction and reduce costs. In various methods, cross-docking is considered a good method to reduce inventory and improve responsiveness to various customer...
