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 ...

The role of logistics management is changing. Many companies are realizing that value for a customer can, in part, be created through logistics management (Langley and Holcomb, 1996). Customer value can be created through product availability, timeliness and consistency of delivery, ease of placing orders, and other elements of logistics service ...

A Hybrid Heuristic for an Inventory Routing Problem
INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2012We consider an inventory routing problem in discrete time where a supplier has to serve a set of customers over a multiperiod horizon. A capacity constraint for the inventory is given for each customer, and the service cannot cause any stockout situation.

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. The program accounts for the probabilities

Inventory routing problems: a logistical overview
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2007Summary: This paper presents an overview of Supply Chain Management while focussing on the area of Inventory Routing. We aim to provide the state-of-the-art in this area while highlighting the usefulness of the models in practice as well as their limitations.

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.

Matheuristics for Inventory Routing Problems
2011In this chapter the authors review the main heuristic approaches for the solution of inventory routing problems and present the most recent and interesting ideas for the design of a new class of heuristics, that they call matheuristics. A matheuristic embeds, in a heuristic or metaheuristic scheme, the exact solution of one or several mathematical ...

Study on integrated inventory-routing problems
2009 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Intelligent Systems, 2009A new method was proposed for solving the multi-depot inventory-routing problems with stochastic demands. Firstly a model was established that incorporates working inventory cost, safety stock cost and stochastic routing cost. Secondly, due to the bad convergence while utilizing traditional decomposition and coordination method (DCM) to attack the ...

Blood inventory-routing problem under uncertainty
Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2017The problem of delivering blood products from community blood centers to the demand points including hospital blood banks falls within the context of perishable inventory-routing problems (PIRP). This is due to the fact that the delivery should be made on the right time with the right delivery quantity at the right place such that the total possible ...
