The Inventory Routing Problem with Demand Moves [PDF]

open access: hybridOperations 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 ...

Stochastic Inventory Routing for Perishable Products [PDF]

open access: greenTransportation 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

Inventory routing and on-line inventory routing file format

open access: yes, 2011
This document presents a simple extension of the TSPLIB file format to serve our needs in the Inventory Routing Problem types. Instead of creating a new file format or putting ASCII files online with a simple description, we have chosen to extend the ...

Inventory routing for dynamic waste collection [PDF]

open access: yesWaste Management, 2014
We consider the problem of collecting waste from sensor equipped underground containers. These sensors enable the use of a dynamic collection policy. The problem, which is known as a reverse inventory routing problem, involves decisions regarding routing and container selection. In more dense networks, the latter becomes more important.

Inventory routing problem with non-stationary stochastic demands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper we solve Stochastic Periodic Inventory Routing Problem (SPIRP) when the accuracy of expected demand is changing among the periods. The variability of demands increases from period to period.

Distribution planning in a weather-dependent scenario with stochastic travel times: a simheuristics approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In real-life logistics, distribution plans might be affected by weather conditions (rain, snow, and fog), since they might have a significant effect on traveling times and, therefore, on total distribution costs.

Inventory routing problems: an introduction [PDF]

open access: yesEURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics, 2012
In this tutorial paper, we introduce the inventory routing problems (IRPs) with examples, we classify the characteristics of an IRP and present different models and policies for the class of problems where the crucial decision is when to serve customers. We call this class the problems with decisions over time only.

Genetic Algorithm Approach for the Inventory Routing Problem with Backlogging [PDF]

open access: yes
We consider a multi-period inventory-routing problem where a vendor serves multiple geographically dispersed customers who receive units of a single product from a depot with adequate supply.

Wavelength tunable lasers in future optical communication systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Monolithic tunable lasers (TL) have been an important component in dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) systems mainly because of their ability to reduce inventory costs associated with different part numbers for fixed wavelength distributed ...
