To improve efficiency and sustainability in synchromodal logistics, it becomes crucial to mitigate the disruptive effects caused by non-synchronized operations. In this work, we study Synchronized Location-Transshipment Problem which decisions on facilities select are fundamental ensure synchronization of flows correct exploiting just-in-time logistics cross-docking We propose a Mixed-Integer L...

We investigate the strategy of transshipments in a dynamic deterministic demand environment over a finite planning horizon. This is the first time that transshipments are examined in a dynamic or deterministic setting. We consider a system of two locations which replenish their stock from a single supplier, and where transshipments between the locations are possible. Our model includes fixed (p...

In many contexts, logistics is used to enable competitive advantages and cost savings. For some companies, logistics itself is its core competency (i.e. logistics providers). In this context, vendor-managed inventory (VMI) systems are one of the most up-to-date strategies allowing companies to reach a superior performance. Under a VMI strategy, the replenishment and distribution making process ...

Aimed at the possibility of stock-out of the traditional retail channel under stochastic demand in a dual-channel supply chain, we propose a cooperative inventory strategy, in which the excess demand of the traditional retail channel is complemented by the excess inventory of the manufacturer’s direct channel through transshipment. We establish a newsboy model to analyse each supply chain membe...

This paper introduces the Inventory-Routing Problem with Transshipment (IRPT). This problem arises when vehicle routing and inventory decisions must be made simultaneously, which is typically the case in vendor-managed inventory systems. Heuristics and exact algorithms have already been proposed for the Inventory-Routing Problem (IRP), but these algorithms ignore the possibility of performing t...
