Inventory Considerations in Network Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optimization is accepted by logisticians as the appropriate approach to network design. While network design is used to make decisions regarding many aspects of logistics networks, one set of important decisions relates to the number, location, and size of warehouses in the network. Managers must also determine the customers to be supplied from each warehouse. Because of the costs involved in operating a network, managers often achieve significant cost reductions through network design (Jimenez, Brown, and Jordan 1998).

Design of a reliable supply chain network with responsiveness considerations under uncertainty: case study of an Iranian tire manufacturer
This paper proposes a bi-objective reliable supply chain network design that immunizes the network against different sources of uncertainties. In this regard, scenario based stochastic programming method is applied to model different disruption scenarios affecting accurate performance of network stages. Also, reliable and unreliable facilities are suggested for lessening vulnerability of networ...

متن کاملA conic quadratic model for supply chain network design under hub, capacity, delay and lost sale
In this paper, mathematical models are proposed for simultaneously modeling location and inventory control decisions in a four echelon supply chain network considering capacity. The echelons considered in this paper include suppliers, warehouses, hubs and retailers. The aim of the model is to minimize the location, transportation and inventory control costs. Hence, a non-linear mixed integer pr...
