A Continuous Review Inventory Control Model within the Batch Arrival Queuing Framework: A Parameter-Tuned Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

چکیده
In this paper, a multi-product continuous review inventory control problem within the batch arrival queuing approach (M/M/1) is modeled to find the optimal quantities of the maximum inventory. The objective function is to minimize the total costs of ordering, holding and shortage under warehouse space and service level, and expected lost-sales shortage cost constraints from retailer and warehouse viewpoints. Since the proposed model is NP-hard, an efficient imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is developed to solve the model. Moreover, to justify the proposed ICA, a simulated annealing algorithm is utilized, and to determine the best values of algorithm parameters that may result in a better solution, a fine-tuning procedure is followed. Finally, the performance of the proposed ICA is assessed through some numerical examples.

متن کاملEfficiency of a multi-objective imperialist competitive algorithm: A bi-objective location-routing-inventory problem with probabilistic routes
An integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. This paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (LRI) problem. This model also considers stochastic demands ...

متن کاملDeveloping a new stochastic competitive model regarding inventory and price
Within the competition in today’s business environment, the design of supply chains becomes more complex than before. This paper deals with the retailer’s location problem when customers choose their vendors, and inventory costs have been considered for retailers. In a competitive location problem, price and location of facilities affect demands of customers; consequently, simultaneous optimiza...
متن کاملA parameter-tuned genetic algorithm for vendor managed inventory model for a case single-vendor single-retailer with multi-product and multi-constraint
This paper develops a single-vendor single-retailer supply chain for multi-product. The proposed model is based on Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) approach and vendor uses the retailer's data for better decision making. Number of orders and available capital are the constraints of the model. In this system, shortages are backordered; therefore, the vendor’s warehouse capacity is another limitati...
