Effects of finite repair capacity in multi-echelon, multi-indenture service part supply systems
In this paper, we consider multi-echelon, multi-indenture supply systems for repairable service parts with finite repair capacity. We show that the commonly used assumption of infinite capacity may seriously affect system performance and stock allocation decisions if the repair shop utilisation is relatively high. Both for the case of item-dedicated and shared repair shops, we modify the well-k...
متن کاملModelling and simulating multi-echelon food systems
This paper presents a method for modelling the dynamic behaviour of food supply chains and evaluating alternative designs of the supply chain by applying discrete-event simulation. The modelling method is based on the concepts of business processes, design variables at strategic and operational levels, performance indicators, and business entities, as these concepts allow relevant aspects of a ...
متن کاملNeuroevolutionary Inventory Control in Multi-Echelon Systems
Stochastic inventory control in multi-echelon systems poses hard problems in optimisation under uncertainty. Stochastic programming can solve small instances optimally, and approximately solve large instances via scenario reduction techniques, but it cannot handle arbitrary nonlinear constraints or other nonstandard features. Simulation optimisation is an alternative approach that has recently ...
متن کاملCoordination Policies for Multi-Echelon Multi- Product Inventory Systems
Starting in the 1960s, a number of academic works have focused in serial and distributed multi-echelon structures and in both deterministic and stochastic environments. Clark and Scarf (1960, 1962) developed a seminal work in which they presented optimal policies for a serial multi-echelon system. Schwartz (1973) studied a deterministic model having one warehouse and N retailers and showed that...
متن کاملModeling Multi-Echelon Multi-Supplier Repairable Inventory Systems with Backorders
This paper considers an inventory system responsible for repairable equipments located at several operational sites, each in different area. When a failure occurs at the operational site, spare parts are required. We analyze a multiple-supplier inventory system that includes an internal repair shop that offers several modes of repair with different repair times and an external supplier of spare...
