Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013
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 ...

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.

A Matheuristic Algorithm for the Inventory Routing Problem
Transportation Science, 2020This work addresses a challenging inventory routing problem that arises from a practical application faced by air-product companies, including Air Liquide. Given its computational complexity and industrial importance, this problem (denoted as IRP-Challenge2016) was presented as the topic of the French Operational Research and Decision Support Society ...

CAR: heuristics for the inventory routing problem
Wireless Networks, 2020Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is a streamlined approach to inventory and order fulfillment and is a system in which vendors continuously and automatically replenish a trading partner’s inventory. Vendors must ensure appropriate quantities of storages at the point of demand and must ensure optimal distribution plans, including routing of the ...

Profit Maximization in Inventory Routing Problems
2018 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM), 2018The inventory routing problem (IRP) deals with the transportation of one product from a producer to multiple consumers, which have given demands and inventory capacities, over a discrete time horizon. The traditional goal of the IRP is to minimize the combination of inventory and transportation costs, while avoiding stock outs at customers.

The Continuous-Time Inventory-Routing Problem
Transportation Science, 2020We consider a continuous-time variant of the inventory-routing problem in which the maximum quantity that can delivered to a customer depends on the customer’s storage capacity and product inventory at the time of the delivery. We investigate critical components of a dynamic discretization discovery algorithm and demonstrate in an extensive ...

Inventory Routing Problem with Route Duration Limits and Stochastic Inventory Capacity Constraints
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013This paper studies the inventory management and routing problem in a two-level supply chain in which a single plant serves a set of warehouses, which in turn serve a set of customers with stochastic demands. A nonlinear integer program based on set partitioning and probabilistic chance constraint is proposed.

Consistent Inventory Routing with Split Deliveries
2018In this paper, we present a matheuristic solution technique to solve a real world problem related to the distribution and inventory management of beer from breweries to restaurants and bars. Consistency in delivery times is an important requirement for this application.
