Solving the Joint Replenishment Problem with Warehouse-space Restrictions Using a Genetic Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
This study is an extension of the Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) that takes into accounts warehouse-space restrictions. The focus of this study is to determine the lot size of each product under power-of-two policy to minimize the total cost per unit time and to generate a feasible replenishment schedule of multiple products without exceeding the available warehouse-space. In order to solve this problem, we propose a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA). We utilize the ability of multi-dimensional search of GA to obtain candidates in the solution space, and test the feasibility of any candidate using the proposed heuristics. By our numerical experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed HGA could effectively solve the JRP with warehouse-space restrictions. Therefore, it could serve as an effective decision-support tool for the logistic managers.

In this study, a vendor-managed inventory model is developed for a single-vendor multiple-retailer single-warehouse (SV-MR-SV) supply chain problem based on the economic order quantity in which demands are stochastic and follow a uniform probability distribution. In order to reduce holding costs and to help balanced on-hand inventory cost between the vendor and the retailers, it is assumed that...

The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model is often used in the manufacturing sector to assist firms in determining the optimal production lot size that minimizes overall production-inventory costs. There are some assumptions in the EPQ model that restrict this model for real-world applications. Some of these assumptions are (1) infinite space of warehouse, (2) all of the pr...

The bi-objective warehouse problem in a crisp environment is often not eective in dealing with the imprecision or vagueness in the values of the problem parameters. To deal with such situations, several researchers have proposed that the parameters be represented as fuzzy numbers. We describe a new algorithm for fuzzy bi-objective warehouse problem using a ranking function followed by an applic...
