Abstract:

In this paper, the issue of integrated supplier selection and inventory policy for a drug distribution company with multiple warehouses is examined. In this research, warehouses are faced with stochastic demand and inventory of their medicines is provided by one or more suppliers that are located in a given set of candidates with price, quality and characteristics of the disruption. In addition, warehouses may be able to supply their holdings from other stores due to the importance of the availability of drugs, in the absence of drugs. With this description, the subject of this research is an integrated multi sourcing and lot sizing, with the consideration of the lateral transshipment between warehouses. The benefits of multi-sourcing and the lateral transshipment between warehouses have been described in reducing the risk associated with potential demand and supply disruptions in the research literature, which has so far not been studied with little consideration in the discussion of the drug. In this research, a Sim-NSGA-II simulation optimization algorithm is presented to solve the problem, and the effect of various disruptions, lateral transshipment and multi-sourcing on the system has been investigated.

Sourcing Decisions with Stochastic Supplier Reliability and Stochastic Demand

Supplier sourcing strategies are a crucial factor driving supply chain success. In this paper, we investigate the implications of uncertain supplier reliability on a firm’s sourcing decisions in an environment with stochastic demand. In particular, we characterize specific conditions under which a firm should choose a single versus multiple supplier sourcing strategy. In an environment with bot...

Ergo-Lot-Sizing: Considering Ergonomics in Lot-Sizing Decisions

One aspect that has mostly been overlooked in traditional economic lot-sizing is the implication of decisions on manual tasks and workload. Although lot-sizing decisions can have a significant impact on required manual material handling and on human performance, works that consider ergonomic aspects in lot-sizing are rare. This paper presents a model that integrates ergonomic aspect in terms of...

OPTIMIZATION OF A PRODUCTION LOT SIZING PROBLEM WITH QUANTITY DISCOUNT

Dynamic lot sizing problem is one of the significant problem in industrial units and it has been considered by  many researchers. Considering the quantity discount in  purchasing cost is one of the important and practical assumptions in the field of inventory control models and it has been less focused in terms of stochastic version of dynamic lot sizing problem. In  this paper, stochastic dyn...
