Real-time management of transportation disruptions in forestry
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a mathematical programming model based on a timespace network representation for solving real-time transportation problems in forestry. We cover a wide range of unforeseen events that may disrupt the planned transportation operations (e.g., delays, changes in the demand and changes in the topology of the transportation network). Although each of these events has different impacts on the initial transportation plan, one key characteristic of the proposed model is that it remains valid for dealing with all the unforeseen events, regardless of their nature. Indeed, the impacts of such events are reflected in a time-space network and in the input parameters rather than in the model itself. The empirical evaluation of the proposed approach is based on data provided by Canadian forestry companies and tested under generated disruption scenarios. The test sets have been successfully solved to optimality in very short computational times and demonstrate the potential improvement of transportation operations incurred by this approach.

negative impact of delays on customer service level by keeping redundant inventory or safety stock. Although safety stock protects companies from disruptions or delays, this comes at a cost because higher inventory levels tie up working capital and increase inventory management costs, such as warehousing and damage rates. In addition, the higher inventory level increases the risks associated wi...

Due to occurrence of unexpected disruptions,a resilient supply chain design is important. In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a resilient supply chain including suppliers, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers under disruption risks.The first objective function minimizes total costs. The second objective function maximizes satisfied demands. We use the augmented e-...
