abstract

in this paper, a new model is proposed for the integrated logistics network designing problem. in many research papers in this area, it is assumed that there is only one option for the capacity of each facility in the network. however, this is not a realistic assumption because generally there may be many possible options for the capacity of the facility that is being established. usually the cost of establishing a facility depends on its capacity. moreover, of the majority of the research done in the field of logistics network designing problem only a limited number of options for product recovery is addressed. specifically, in most of the research papers only one option, i.e. remanufacturing, has been considered. therefore, a mathematical formulation with multiple options for capacities and product recovery is addressed in this research to obviate this gap. afterwards a benders decomposition method is developed to efficiently solve the problem. the computational results introduce several random generated problems to be solved with benders algorithm and demonstrate that this algorithm can efficiently solve the proposed model.

A Benders' Decomposition Method to Solve Stochastic Distribution Network Design Problem with Two Echelons and Inter-Depot Transportation

 In many practical distribution networks, managers face significant uncertainties in demand, local price of building facilities, transportation cost, and macro and microeconomic parameters. This paper addresses design of distribution networks in a supply chain system which optimizes the performance of distribution networks subject to required service level. This service level, which is consider...

A Hybrid Solution Approach Based on Benders Decomposition and Meta-Heuristics to Solve Supply Chain Network Design Problem

Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) is a strategic supply chain management problem that determines its configuration. This mainly focuses on the facilities location, capacity sizing, technology selection, supplier selection, transportation, allocation of production and distribution facilities to the market, and so on. Although the optimal solution of the SCND problem leads to a significant reduc...

Benders decomposition for an integrated biomass logistic problem

We consider an integrated biomass logistic and energy production problem that arises in long term planning for scenario analysis in the energy sector. It encompasses two decision stages in a national system: one on the purchase of biomass from suppliers and one on the specific production of electricity and heat of each power plant. The rising interest of citizens in environmental issues and the...

An improved Benders decomposition algorithm for the logistics facility location problem with capacity expansions

We investigate a logistics facility location problem to determine whether the existing facilities remain open or not, what the expansion size of the open facilities should be and which potential facilities should be selected. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) with the objective to minimize the sum of the savings from closing the existing facilities, th...
