A dynamic network consists of a graph with capacities and transit times on its edges. The quickest transshipment problem is defined by a dynamic network with several sources and sinks; each source has a specified supply and each sink has a specified demand. The problem is to send exactly the right amount of flow out of each source and into each sink in the minimum overall time. Variations of th...

In this paper we present the essential features of an approach for the design of a parallel algorithm for the layout compaction problem. We begin with a formulation of the problem presented by Yoshimura in [4]. This formulation is in terms of the dual transshipment problem. Our approach t o the solution of the dual transshipment problem involves repeated applications of three basic steps, namel...

Lateral transshipments are an effective strategy to pool inventories. We present an exact Semi-Markov decision problem formulation for proactive and reactive transshipments in a multi-location continuous review distribution inventory system with Poisson demand and exponential replenishment lead times. In a numerical study, we investigate the benefits of proactive over different reactive transsh...

We consider the stochastic capacitated transshipment problem for freight transportation where an optimal location of the transshipment facilities, which minimizes the total cost, must be found. The total cost is given by the sum of the total fixed cost plus the expected minimum total flow cost, when the throughput costs of the facilities are random variables with unknown probability distributio...

We study a newsvendor game with transshipments, in which n retailers face a stochastic demand for an identical product. Before the demand is realized, each retailer independently orders her initial inventory. After the demand is realized, the retailers select an optimal transshipment pattern and ship residual inventories in order to meet residual demands. Unsold inventories are salvaged at the ...

Transshipment in retailing is a practice where one outlet ships its excess inventory to another with shortages. By balancing inventories, transshipment can reduce waste and increase fill rate at the same time. In “Separation of Perishable Inventories Offline Retailing Through Transshipment,” Li, Yu, Du explore idea transshipping perishable goods fixed finite lifetime offline grocery retailing. ...
