The Inventory Routing Problem Under Uncertainty
Operations Research, 2023In the inventory routing problem, the supplier acts as a central decision maker who determines the replenishment quantities and also, the delivery times and routes to all retailers. In “Inventory Routing Problem Under Uncertainty”, Cui et al. develop a novel framework for the uncertain inventory routing problem and allow ambiguity in the probability ...

Formulations for an inventory routing problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, 2014AbstractIn this paper, we present and compare formulations for the inventory routing problem (IRP) where the demand of customers has to be served, over a discrete time horizon, by capacitated vehicles starting and ending their routes at a depot. The objective of the IRP is the minimization of the sum of inventory and transportation costs.

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

Performance Measurement for Inventory Routing
Transportation Science, 2007We develop technology to measure the effectiveness of distribution strategies for inventory routing. Popular, practical performance measures, such as volume delivered per mile, are effective in measuring relative performance but inadequate in measuring absolute performance.

The inventory routing problem: the value of integration
International Transactions in Operational Research, 2015AbstractWe consider an inventory routing problem in which a supplier delivers goods to customers over a given planning period. Before the advent of the supply chain management concept, customers usually applied a policy for the inventory management. The supplier then, on the basis of the distribution schedule determined by the customers, organized the

This paper extends the study of the inventory routing problem with slack maximization (IRPSM), which addresses the distribution of relief supplies in response to a sudden emergency. Compared with the classical routing problem, the objective of IRPSM is to maximize the slack in inventory, defined as the difference between the arrival time of new ...

A Matheuristic for the Multivehicle Inventory Routing Problem
INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2017We consider the inventory routing problem, in which a supplier has to replenish a set of customers by means of a limited fleet of capacitated vehicles over a discrete time horizon. The goal is to minimize the total cost of the distribution that comprises the inventory cost at the supplier and at the customers and the routing cost.

Inventory and Routing Policies in Vendor Managed Inventory System
2012 Fifth International Joint Conference on Computational Sciences and Optimization, 2012In this paper, an inventory control policy and routing strategy are jointly considered by developing dynamic programming model in vendor managed inventory system. The inventory policy is proved to be (s, S) pattern and two routing options are examined by simulation.
