چکیده

We consider the problem of shipping a set of products from a single origin (the vendor) to a common destination (the buyer) with the objective of minimizing the sum of the inventory and transportation costs, when a set of shipping frequencies is given and products are assumed to be perishable. We provide a mixed integer linear programming model for the problem and propose the modification of known heuristic algorithms to solve it. Extensive computational results show how some of the modified heuristics are extremely efficient and effective. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A single-vendor and a single-buyer integrated inventory model with ordering cost reduction dependent on lead time

Lead time is one of the major limits that affect planning at every stage of the supply chain system. In this paper, we study a continuous review inventory model. This paper investigates the ordering cost reductions are dependent on lead time. This study addressed two-echelon supply chain problem consisting of a single vendor and a single buyer. The main contribution of this study is that the in...

A discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm with local search for a production-based two-echelon single-vendor multiple-buyer supply chain

This paper formulates a two-echelon single-producer multi-buyer supply chain model, while a single product is produced and transported to the buyers by the producer. The producer and the buyers apply vendor-managed inventory mode of operation. It is assumed that the producer applies economic production quantity policy, which implies a constant production rate at the producer. The operational pa...

An Integrated Production-Inventory Model with Backorder and Lot for Lot Policy

    inventory model,   backorder   buyer ,   vendor,   lot for lot policy In this paper, an inventory model for two-stage supply chain is investigated. A supply chain with single vendor and single buyer is considered. We assume that shortage as a backorder is allowed for the buyer and the vendor makes the production set up every time the buyer places an order and supplies on a lot for lot basis...

Single-Setup-Multiple-Deliveries for a Single Supplier-Single Buyer with Single Product and Backorder

  This article investigates integrated production-inventory models with backorder. A single supplier and a single buyer are considered and shortage as backorder is allowed for the buyer. The proposed models determine optimal order quantity, optimal backorder quantity and optimal number of deliveries on the joint total cost for both buyer and supplier. Two cases are discussed: single-setup-singl...
