Determination of shipment quantity and distribution problem is an important subject in today’s business. This paper describes the inventory/distribution network design. The system addresses a class of distribution network design problem, which is characterized by multiple products family, multiple warehouses and retail-ers. The maximum capacity of vehicles and warehouses are also known. The res...

in this paper, the distribution network for multi-level supply chain has been studied. products produced in factories are sent to customers through warehouses and distribution centers based on specific demands. warehouses as holding inventory facilities are located close to factories and the distribution centers are placed in the most accessible locations for services near customers. each item ...

in this paper, a facility location problem of distribution systems, as one of the important and strategic issues in supply chain management, has been studied in a three-level supply chain under a stochastic condition. for this purpose, a two-stage mathematic model has been proposed for the location-allocation problem of distribution systems with regard to backup facilities for disrupting wareho...

the location-routing problem is a relatively new branch of logistics system. its objective is to determine a suitable location for constructing distribution warehouses and proper transportation routing from warehouse to the customer. in this study, the location-routing problem is investigated with considering fuzzy servicing time window for each customer. another important issue in this regard ...

In this paper, a multi-objective multi-period multi-product supply chain network design problem is introduced. This problem is modeled using a multi-objective mixed integer mathematical programming. The objectives are maximizing the total profit of logistics, maximizing service level, and minimizing inconsistency of operations. Several sets of constraints are considered to handle the real situa...

We studied a logistics network design model composed of plants, warehouses and customers. For designing this integrated model, we had to make two decisions simultaneously; the location of plants and warehouses, and the product distribution from plants to customers through warehouses. We provided a heuristic using the genetic algorithm. The chromosome presents the location of plants and the allo...
