This paper presents a two-echelon non-repairable spare parts inventory system that consists of one warehouse and m identical retailers and implements the reorder point, order quantity (R, Q) inventory policy. We formulate the policy decision problem in order to minimize the total annual inventory investment subject to average annual ordering frequency and expected number of backorder constraint...

This study addresses a strategic design problem for bicycle sharing systems incorporating bicycle stock considerations. The problem is formulated as a hub location inventory model. The key design decisions considered are: the number and locations of bicycle stations in the system, the creation of bicycle lanes between bicycle stations, the selection of paths of users between origins and destina...

This paper proposes an integrated network design model for a post-distribution cross-docking strategy, comprising multi product production facilities with shared production resources, capacitated cross docks with setup cost and customer zones with time windows constraints. The model is dynamic in terms of time-varying uncertain demands, whereas uncertainty is expressed with scenario approach an...

Now ever days positioning system of Wireless indoor Access Point have become very popular. These method have been used in many area like asset tracking, location fingerprinting and inventory management. The optimization of location of access point is to improve the accuracy of positioning due to complexity of indoor radio propagation environment. The first method introduce the indoor radio prop...

The goal of this paper is to study a profit-maximization location-inventory problem in a multicommodity supply chain distribution network with price-sensitive demands. The problem determines location, allocation, price and order-size decisions in order to maximize the total profit of serving the customers. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model and solved using...
