A Multiobjective Approach to Vendor Selection Taking into Account Transportation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of the most researches related to the supplier selection shows that very little attention is given to transportation although its cost may be significant important to this selection. In this paper, we present a multiobjective approach of selecting suppliers and allocating the order quantity among them, taking into account transportation. The objectives to minimize in the model are the total cost and the lead-time. The total cost is the sum of transportation, inventory and ordering costs. The constraints related to suppliers, buyer and transportation are also considered in the model. The model is implemented in Matlab, software specialized in optimization. An evaluation of the model is presented under various scenarios.

A nonlinear multiobjective approach for the supplier selection, integrating transportation policies
Purpose The impact of transportation on the supplier selection has received a very scant attention in the literature. This is a great limitation because splitting orders across multiple suppliers will lead to smaller transportation quantities which will likely imply larger transportation cost. Moreover, transportation and inventory elements are highly interrelated and contribute most to the tot...
متن کاملAn optimization technique for vendor selection with quantity discounts using Genetic Algorithm
Vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. The problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. Such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. This paper propose...
متن کاملA class of chance constrained multiobjective linear programming with birandom coefficients and its application to vendors selection
In this paper, a class of chance constrained multiobjective linear programming model with birandom coefficients is considered for vendor selection problem. Firstly we present a crisp equivalent model for a special case and give a traditional method for crisp model. Then, the technique of birandom simulation is applied to deal with general birandom objective functions and birandom constraints wh...
متن کاملA Portfolio Optimization Approach to Selection in Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms
In this work, a new approach to selection in multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) is proposed. It is based on the portfolio selection problem, which is well known in financial management. The idea of optimizing a portfolio of investments according to both expected return and risk is transferred to evolutionary selection, and fitness assignment is reinterpreted as the allocation of cap...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Multiobjective Programming Approach for Vendor Selection in Iron & Steel Enterprise
The purpose of this paper is to study vendor selection problem with multi-vendor and multi-item in iron & steel industry. Firstly, the native fuzziness, derived from some uncertainty information, of some parameters in decision-making objectives is analyzed. After that, a fuzzy multiobjective programming model is formulated, with procurement quantity as decision variable, minimizing the net cost...
