abstract

in today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. this paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. it is assumed that all transportations are outsourced to third-party logistics providers and all-unit quantity discounts in transportation costs are taken into consideration. the problem has been formulated as a multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming model which attempts to simultaneously minimize total delivery time and total transportation costs. due to the complexity of the considered problem, genetic algorithm (ga) and particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm are developed within the lp-metric method and desirability function framework for solving the real-sized problems in reasonable computational time. as the performance of meta-heuristic algorithms is significantly influenced by calibrating their parameters, taguchi methodology has been used to tune the parameters of the developed algorithms. finally, the efficiency and applicability of the proposed model and solution methodologies are demonstrated through several problems in different sizes

A multi-objective evolutionary approach for integrated production-distribution planning problem in a supply chain network

Integrated production-distribution planning (PDP) is one of the most important approaches in supply chain networks. We consider a supply chain network (SCN) to consist of multi suppliers, plants, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers. A bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for integrating production-distribution designed here aim to simultaneously minimize total net costs in ...

A multi-objective integrated production-allocation and distribution planning problem of a multi-echelon supply chain network: two parameter-tuned meta-heuristic algorithms

Supply chain management (SCM) is a subject that has found so much attention among different commercial and industrial organizations due to competing environment of products. Therefore, integration of constituent element of this chain is a great deal. This paper proposes a multi objective production-allocation and distribution planning problem (PADPP) in a multi echelon supply chain network. We ...

Presenting a Bi-objective Integrated Model for Production-Distribution Problem in a Multi-level Supply Chain Network

In this study, a bi-objective model for integrated planning of production-distribution in a multi-level supply chain network with multiple product types and multi time periods is presented. The supply chain network including manufacturers, distribution centers, retailers and final customers is proposed. The proposed model minimizes the total supply chain costs and transforming time of products ...
