Abstract: 

THE LOCATION ROUTING INVENTORY PROBLEM ((LRIP)) INVOLVES SELECTING CENTRAL DEPOTS FROM A SET OF CANDIDATES AND DESIGNING A SET OF ROUTES FOR EACH DEPOT TO SERVE CUSTOMERS, WHILE MINIMIZING TOTAL DISTRIBUTION AND INVENTORY COSTS. IN ORDER TO CONSIDER OTHER DECISION FACTORS BESIDE COST AND MAKE THE PROBLEM MORE PRACTICAL, MULTI OBJECTIVE APPROACHES SEEMS TO BE USEFUL. THIS STUDY CONSIDERS THE TIME INTERVALS THAT CUSTOMERS MUST BE SERVED KNOWN AS HARD TIME WINDOWS, THE TIME INTERVALS THAT THE CUSTOMERS LIKE TO BE SERVED KNOWN AS SOFT TIME WINDOWS AND ALSO THE MODEL CONSIDERS AVOIDING UNDERUTILIZATION OF VEHICLES CAPACITY AND LABOR. WE ARE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THE USE OF GOAL PROGRAMMING APPROACH TO MODEL THESE PROBLEMS.

Abstract: 

In this paper, a three-echelon supply chain, consisting of suppliers, a number of distribution centers (DCs), and a number of retailers (customers) is modeled in form of the integrated bi-objective INVENTORY-LOCATIONROUTING PROBLEM (ILRP), in a way that perishable products are delivered to the customers in a limited time horizon, consisting of several time periods. The retailers’ demand is stochastic and is applied on the model by the concept of scenario. The transportation fleet is heterogeneous, and distribution centers use a timetable, which will prevent interference of the vehicles operation and alLOCATION of a vehicle to more than one distribution center in each time period. Three methods of calculating the distance to the ideal point and in order to solving the model, have been investigated and analyzed and have brought some examples for expressing proposed methods. At the end, besides concluding the discussion, recommendations are made for future studies.

Abstract: 

This study introduces a green LOCATION, ROUTING and INVENTORY PROBLEM with customer satisfaction, backup distribution centers and risk of routes in the form of a non-linear mixed integer programming model. In this regard, time window is considered to increase the customer satisfaction of the model and transportation risks is taken into account for the reliability of the system. In addition, different factors are detected as the major factors affecting the risk of routs and a fuzzy TOPSIS method is applied to rank the related risk factors. Next, due to the complexity of the investigated model, two algorithms including multi-objective gray wolf optimization algorithms (MOGWO) and Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) are applied to solve the large-sized instances. The results prove the superiority of MOGWO in dealing with large-sized instances. In the next step, some sensitivity analysis is implemented on the model based on a case study and the related results of case study are reported as well.

Abstract: 

THIS PAPER INVESTIGATES THE INVENTORY ROUTING PROBLEM WHERE MULTIPLE CAPACITATED VEHICLES DISTRIBUTE PRODUCTS FROM MULTIPLE SUPPLIERS TO A SINGLE PLANT, AND THE FINAL PRODUCTS PRODUCED TO CUSTOMERS OVER A FINITE PLANNING HORIZON. THE DEMAND ASSOCIATED WITH EACH PRODUCT IS ASSUMED TO BE DETERMINISTIC AND TIME VARYING. IN THIS SUPPLY CHAIN, THE PRODUCTS ARE ASSUMED TO BE READY FOR COLLECTION AT THE SUPPLIER SITE WHEN THE VEHICLE ARRIVES. A TRANSSHIPMENT OPTION IS CONSIDERED AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND SHOWS THE IMPACT OF THIS SOLUTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT. A GREEN LOGISTIC ISSUE IS ALSO INCORPORATED INTO THE MODEL BY CONSIDERING THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TRANSPORTATION COST AND THE GREENHOUSEGAS EMISSION LEVEL. THE PROPOSED MODEL IS A MIXED-INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAM THAT SOLVED BY GAMS SOFTWARE AND THE RESULTS IS EXPLAINED. THE COMPUTATIONAL RESULTS SHOW THAT THE PROPOSED MODEL GENERATES HIGH QUALITY SCHEDULES IN A TIMELY FASHION.

Abstract: 

SUPPLYING OF BLOOD AND BLOOD PRODUCTS IS ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING ISSUES IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM SINCE BLOOD IS AS EXTREMELY PERISHABLE AND VITAL GOOD AND DONATION OF BLOOD IS A VOLUNTARY WORK. IN THIS PAPER, WE PROPOSE A TWO-STAGE STOCHASTIC SELECTIVE-COVERING-INVENTORY-ROUTING (SCIR) MODEL TO SUPPLY WHOLE BLOOD UNDER UNCERTAINTY. HERE, SET OF DISCRETE SCENARIOS ARE USED TO DISPLAY UNCERTAINTY IN STOCHASTIC PARAMETERS. BOTH OF THE FIXED BLOOD CENTER AND BLOODMOBILE FACILITIES ARE CONSIDERED IN THIS STUDY. WE SUPPOSE THAT THE NUMBER OF BLOODMOBILES IS INDICATED IN THE FIRST STAGE BEFORE KNOWING WHICH SCENARIO IS OCCURRED. TO VERIFY THE VALIDATION OF THE PRESENTED SCIR MODEL TO SUPPLY WHOLE BLOOD, WE EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF PARAMETERS VARIATION ON THE MODEL OUTPUTS AND COST FUNCTION USING THE CPLEX SOLVER. ALSO THE RESULTS OF COMPARISON BETWEEN THE STOCHASTIC APPROACH AND EXPECTED VALUE APPROACH ARE DISCUSSED.

Abstract: 

Supplying of blood and its products is one of the most challenging issues in the healthcare system since blood is a extremely perishable and vital good, and blood donation is a voluntary work. In this paper, a two-stage stochastic selective-covering-INVENTORY-ROUTING (SCIR) model was proposed to supply whole blood under uncertainty.Herein, a set of discrete scenarios was used to display uncertainty in stochastic parameters. Both of the fixed blood center and bloodmobile facilities were considered in this study. It was supposed that the number of bloodmobiles was indicated in the first stage before knowing which scenario occurred. To verify the validation of the presented SCIR model to supply the whole blood, the impact of parameters variation was examined on the model outputs and cost function using the CPLEX solver. In addition, the results of comparison between the stochastic approach and expected value approach were discussed.

Abstract: 

This paper proposes a bi-objective model for the waste collection PROBLEM and considers the LOCATION, ROUTING and INVENTORY of the system simultaneously. Considering the reverse flow of the system is another feature of the current study. In the proposed model, the total costs of the system are minimized. In addition, the related risks of opening new centers and transportaion are included as the second objective function of the PROBLEM. Considering the delivery time and cpacity of vehicels constraints, are the other features of the model. Due to the NP-hardness of the model, two metaheuristic algorithms namely a non dominated sort ordering genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and a multi objective particle swarm optimization algorithm (MOPSO) are applied to solve the PROBLEM. According to the results, NSGA-II is able to reach better answers in all the propsed metrics. According to sesitivity analysis, foreign transportation fleets make a great impact on the costs of the system.

Abstract: 

This paper considers a single-sourcing network design PROBLEM for a three-level supply chain. For the first time, a novel mathematical model is presented considering risk-pooling, the INVENTORY existence at distribution centers (DCs) under demand uncertainty, the existence of several alternatives to transport the product between facilities, and ROUTING of vehicles from distribution centers to customer in a stochastic supply chain system, simultaneously.This PROBLEM is formulated as a bi-objective stochastic mixed-integer nonlinear programming model. The aim of this model is to determine the number of located distribution centers, their LOCATIONs, and capacity levels, and allocating customers to distribution centers and distribution centers to suppliers. It also determines the INVENTORY control decisions on the amount of ordered products and the amount of safety stocks at each opened DC, selecting a type of vehicle for transportation. Moreover, it determines ROUTING decisions, such as determination of vehicles' routes starting from an opened distribution center to serve its allocated customers and returning to that distribution center. All are done in a way that the total system cost and the total transportation time are minimized.The Lingo software is used to solve the presented model. The computational results are illustrated in this paper.

Abstract: 

At the time of natural disasters occurrence, prompt responding and providing required items to affected areas is the most urgent priority. Moreover, given a stochastic nature of the crisis severity and the number of the affected areas, effective planning is a crucial task. In this study, two major steps in the disaster management cycle, namely preparation and response phases, are formulated using a multi-objective mathematical model under uncertainty. In the preparation phase, the optimum LOCATION of relief distributions, medical centers and inventories of relief goods to storage items received from suppliers are determined. Also, in the second step or response phase, the amount of relief goods transported from supply points to relief distribution centers and from these centers to affected areas as well as the number of injured people transferred to medical centers and hospitals through ambulances and aerial transportationare determined. Moreover, regarding the PROBLEM nature, its key parameters (e. g., demand and the number of injured people) are considered to be uncertain. Furthermore, given that the failureof facilities in both supplier and distributor sections can adverselyaffect their service provision, this issueisconsidered in the model. To efficiently solve the model, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and the multi-objective grey wolf optimizer (MOGWO) areused. Comparison of the results obtained from the proposed meta-heuristics with the exact solution method indicates that these algorithms can provide acceptable solutions in a reasonable amount of computational time.

Abstract: 

LOCATION AREA IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RESEARCH AREAS IN DECISION-MAKING DUE TO THE WIDELY USED. HUB LOCATION AS A TYPE OF LOCATION PROBLEM HAS MANY APPLICATIONS SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION AND TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. THE HUB LOCATION PROBLEM (HLP) INVOLVES FINDING THE LOCATION OF HUBS AND ALLOCATES THE OTHER NODES TO THEM. A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THAT MORE SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IT IS ALWAYS MINIMIZING COST IS NOT A PERFECT SOLUTION FOR THE SURVIVAL. THEREFORE, OTHER PARAMETERS SUCH AS PRICE PLAY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE SURVIVAL OF THE ORGANIZATION. THEREFORE, IN THIS ARTICLE, WE CONSIDER PROFIT AT INCOMPLETE HUB LOCATION AND ROUTING PROBLEM OVER THE INCOMPLETE NETWORKS. WE USE TWO TYPE DATASETS. FIRST, IRANIAN ROAD NETWORK (IRN) AND SECOND, AUSTRALIA POST (AP). WE RUN THE MODEL FOR DIFFERENT VALUES OF A AND G ON SOFTWARE CPLEX 12.5 AND OBSERVE NUMBER OF HUBS, NUMBER OF HUB NODES, NUMBER OF HUB LINKS AND SPOKE LINKS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE LOCATION OF HUBS IS NOT USUALLY ALTERED BY CHANGING IN THE PRICE. MOREOVER, THE NUMBER OF SPOKE LINKS MAY BE CHANGED BY INCREASING THE PRICE.
