چکیده

When the theory of constraints (TOC) supply chain replenishment system (TOC-SCRS) is deployed in a plant or a central warehouse, replenishment frequency (RF) becomes one of the important decision parameters and depends on the sales or replenishment quantity (RQ) in the plant. The higher RF is preferred by TOC for the low inventory and the fast response to different market requirements. However, when sales significantly increase and capacity is not enough, the lower RF is required to save the setup capacity. Some existing RF determination models substantially increased in inventory. This paper proposes a diverse RF model for TOC-SCRS with capacity constraints so that the RF will only moderately increase in inventory. A numeric example is utilised to evaluate the proposed method and a prototype is further provided to demonstrate its feasibility and performance. The proposed model will enable a plant or a central warehouse to successfully implement an effective TOC-SCRS.

Optimization of Setup Frequency for TOC Supply Chain Replenishment Systems Based on Pareto Particle Swarm Optimization

The theory of constraints (TOC) supply chain replenishment system (TOC-SCRS) is an effective solution for coping with conflicts during the management of supply chain inventories. When it is deployed in a plant or a central warehouse with capacity constraints, TOC-SCRS encounters a problem comprised of 2 parts: first, how to establish a sound setup frequency (SF) that can meet production needs a...

Vendor Managed Inventory of a Single-vendor Multiple-retailer Single-warehouse Supply Chain under Stochastic Demands

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...

Controlling the Bullwhip Effect in a Supply Chain Network with an Inventory Replenishment Policy by a Robust Control Method

This paper develops a mathematical model using differential equations and considers a bullwhip effect in a supply chain network with multiple retailers and distributors. To ensure the stability of the entire system and reduce the bullwhip effect, a robust control method and an inventory replenishment policy are proposed. This shows that the choice of the output matrix may reduce the bullwhip ef...

Coordination of promotional effort, corporate social responsibility and periodic review replenishment decisions in a two-echelon socially responsible supply chain

In this paper, we explore the issue of coordination in a manufacturer-retailer supply chain where the manufacturer is socially responsible and invests in CSR activities. On the other hand, the retailer invests in promotional efforts and uses a periodic review order-up-to policy for replenishing items. First, the decentralized decision-making structure is modeled to calculate the minimum accepta...

Coordinating pricing and periodic review replenishment decisions in a two-echelon supply chain using quantity discount contract

In this paper, the coordination of pricing and periodic review inventory decisions in a supplier-retailer supply chain (SC) is proposed. In the investigated SC, the retailer faces a stochastic price dependent demand and determines the review period, order-up-to-level, and retail price. On the other hand, the supplier decides on the replenishment multiplier. Firstly, the decentralized and centra...
