The production routing problem (PRP) considers the coordination of production, inventory, distribution, and routing decisions in a supply chain. In this work, we focus on production routing in the industrial gas business, where the challenge lies in the simultaneous optimization of complex and power-intensive production plants and highly integrated supply chains with vendor-managed inventory (V...

today, one of the new technologies in the modern era is vehicular ad-hoc network which has takenenormous attention in the recent years. because of rapid topology changing and frequent disconnectionmakes it difficult to design an efficient routing protocol for routing data between vehicles, called v2v orvehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to roadside infrastructure, called v2i. designin...

A future NoC architecture must be general enough to allow volume production and must have features to specialize and configure to match and meet application’s performance requirements. In this report, we present a methodology to specialize the routing algorithm in NoC routers to optimize its communication performance while ensuring deadlock free routing. Duato’s theory of deadlock free routing ...

In this study, a two echelons supply chain system in which a supplier is producing perishable product and distribute it to multiple customers is considered. By allowing lateral transshipment mechanism, it is also possible to deliver products to some customers in some periods in bulk, then customers using their own vehicle to transship goods between each other seeking further reduction in the ov...

In today’s competitive market place, companies seek an efficient structure of supply chain so as to provide customers with highest value and achieve competitive advantage. This requires a broader perspective than just the borders of an individual company during a supply chain. This paper investigates an aggregate production planning problem integrated with distribution issues in a supply chain ...

In the article, a validation module, being component of an integrated system supporting routing in software defined networks (SDNRoute), is proposed and thoroughly examined. The module allows for verification results provided by optimization before these are deployed production network. Routing policies validated their impact on network quality parameters against threat overloading (congestion).

The integrated production, inventory and distribution routing problem (PDRP) is concerned with coordinating the production, inventory and delivery operations to meet customer demand with an objective to minimize the cost. The particular PDRP that we consider in this study also involves heterogeneous transporters with non-instantaneous traveling times and many customer demand centers each with i...
