This paper considers the reliable multi-product multi-vehicle multi-type link logistics network design problem (RMLNDP) with system disruptions, which is concerned with facilities locating, transshipment links constructing, and also allocating them to the customers in order to satisfy their demand on minimum expected total cost (including locating costs, link constructing costs, and also expect...

Firms with omni-channel multi-echelon distribution networks (OMDC) integrate all of their sale channels and echelons to achieve an effective matching multi-type orders a shared inventory. However, the high operational cost caused by insufficient use inventory resources unreasonable order allocation restricts sustainable development firms. To this end, joint decisions optimization (IO) (OA) are ...

How to develop material ordering and transferring plans in advance ensure smooth production of the enterprise is a major problem faced by actual process. In this paper, we make reasonable assumptions combining supply transshipment data previous years establish supply-transshipment model based on 0-1 planning. Firstly, selected Supply demand ratio, large order error rate, rate as evaluation inde...

Abstract We study a hybrid logistics delivery model which incorporates trucks and drones. In this model, named the Drone Resupply Model with Transshipment Points (DRMTP), drones are used to resupply transshipment points where visit pick up packages for customers. A simulation is developed simulate operations. The evaluated in two case studies an urban area suburban Massachusetts, USA. Using ave...

A modification to the Dantzig and Fulkerson tanker scheduling problem is described. An insufficient number of vehicles and a utility associated with each vehicle delivery are assumed. The new problem is shown to be equivalent to a transshipment problem, the solution of which is the same as the maximal utility solution of the modified tanker scheduling problem. An example is given.

Drug smuggling is probably the transnational crime generating the greatest revenues to participants, approximately $20 billion, mostly from cocaine and heroin. Migration and other economic factors, together with enforcement, affect all dimensions of the industry; which countries produce and transship; the means by which the drugs are moved; the organizational forms that survive in the market; a...
