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 ...

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.

Inventory Routing Problem with Time Windows
Proceedings of the XIV Brazilian Symposium on Information Systems, 2018The integration of inventory management, vehicle routing, and scheduling decisions is known as Inventory Routing Problem (IRP). In this problem, the main objective is to determine: (i) the quantity of products to be delivered based on customer's demand; (ii) the delivery periods and (iii) the route of vehicles.

A Combined Vehicle Routing and Inventory Allocation Problem
Operations Research, 1984We address the combined problem of allocating a scarce resource among several locations, and planning deliveries using a fleet of vehicles. Demands are random, and holding and shortage costs must be considered in the decision along with transportation costs.

Evolutionary Approach in Inventory Routing Problem
2013Most companies recognize the need for the integration and coordination of various components in logistics and supply chain management as an important factor. This paper presents an evolutionary approach to modeling and optimization on inventory routing problem of inventory management, logistics distribution and supply chain management.

An Integrated Inventory Allocation and Vehicle Routing Problem
Transportation Science, 1989We address the problem of distributing a limited amount of inventory among customers using a fleet of vehicles so as to maximize profit. Both the inventory allocation and the vehicle routing problems are important logistical decisions. In many practical situations, these two decisions are closely interrelated, and therefore, require a systematic ...

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.

The Stochastic Inventory Routing Problem with Direct Deliveries
Transportation Science, 2002Vendor managed inventory replenishment is a business practice in which vendors monitor their customers' inventories, and decide when and how much inventory should be replenished. The inventory routing problem addresses the coordination of inventory management and transportation.
