Sustainable maritime inventory routing problem with time window constraints

A Zero-Inventory Production-Distribution Problem with Time-Window Constraints

In this paper, we study a sub-problem of integrated production and distribution for a perishable product that cannot be inventoried. The manufacturing facility has a limited production rate, and the delivery truck has a non-negligible traveling time between locations. The order in which customers may receive deliveries is fixed. Each customer requests a delivery quantity and a time window for r...

Designing a green location routing inventory problem considering transportation risks and time window: a case study

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, dif...

Mathematical Model for Maritime Inventory Routing Problem with Multiple Time Windows

This paper considers a new variant of the maritime inventory routing problem which considers multiple time windows. The typical time windows that this problem considers that it may exist for certain ports which only permit a ship entering and leaving the ports within daytime due to both natural conditions and their facilities. A mathematical model formulated as mixed integer programming is deve...

The Bi-Objective Location-Routing Problem based on Simultaneous Pickup and Delivery with Soft Time Window

The location-routing problem is the most significant and yet new research field in location problems that considers simultaneously vehicle routing problem features with original one for achieving high-quality integrated distribution systems in beside of the global optimum. Simultaneous pickup and delivery based on time windows are the two main characteristics of logistic management that have be...
