Robust dual sourcing inventory routing optimization for disaster relief [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 This paper considers the problem that a depot replenishes several shelters by aerial and land transportation modes for disaster relief. There are two distinguishing features of our problem: one is routing decisions determine replenishment lead times; the

Stochastic Inventory Routing for Perishable Products [PDF]
Transportation Science, 2018 Different solution methods are developed to solve an inventory routing problem for a perishable product with stochastic demands. The solution methods are empirically compared in terms of average profit, service level, and actual freshness. The benefits of explicitly considering demand uncertainty are quantified. The computational study highlights that

Two heuristic algorithms for location-inventory-routing models involving two warehouses within multi-echelon supply chain networks [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn supply chain management, the location of facilities, inventory control, and vehicle routing are three key components. This paper incorporates a two-warehouse inventory system into the location- inventory-routing problems (LIRPs) and develops LIRP ...

A Decomposition Approach for the Inventory-Routing Problem [PDF]
Transportation Science, 2004 In this paper, we present a solution approach for the inventory-routing problem. The inventory-routing problem is a variation of the vehicle-routing problem that arises in situations where a vendor has the ability to make decisions about the timing and sizing of deliveries, as well as the routing, with the restriction that customers are not allowed to

A new efficient genetic algorithm-Taguchi-based approach for multi-period inventory routing problem [PDF]
International Journal of Research in Industrial Engineering, 2023 The inventory routing problem arises from the combination of the vehicle routing problem and the vendor-managed inventory problem. In this paper, we present a mathematical model and a novel genetic algorithm for solving the multi-period inventory routing

The Inventory Routing Problem with Demand Moves [PDF]
Operations Research Forum, 2021 AbstractIn the Inventory Routing Problem, customer demand is satisfied from inventory which is replenished with capacitated vehicles. The objective is to minimize total routing and inventory holding cost over a time horizon. If the customers are located relatively close to each other, one has the opportunity to satisfy the demand of a customer by ...
