چکیده

this study aims to minimize the total cost of a four-echelon supply chain including suppliers, an assembler, distributers, and retailers. the total cost consists of purchasing raw materials from the suppliers by the assembler, assembling the final product, materials transportation from the suppliers to the assembler, product transportation from the assembler to the distributors, product transportation from the distributors to the retailers, and product holding and stock-out in the distribution centers. to this end, having modeled the problem addressed, a numerical example including ten suppliers, an assembler, three distributors and eight retailers in the chain is solved for four periods of time. then the model is solved by a simulated annealing-based heuristic and lingo. finally, a set of 30 numerical problems of small and large sizes are developed and solved. the results indicate that simulated annealing-based heuristic provides near optimal solutions.

Determination of a Desirable Inventory Policy in a three Echelon Multilayer Supply Chain with Normal Demand

Inventory control is one of the most important issues in supply chain management. In this paper, a three-echelon production, distribution, inventory system composed of one producer, a set of wholesalers and retailers is considered. Costumers' demands can be approximated by a normal distribution and the inventory policy is a kind of continuous review (R, Q). In this paper, a model based on stand...

Optimization of Multi-period Three-echelon Citrus Supply Chain Problem

In this paper, a new multi-objective integer non-linear programming model is developed for designing citrus three-echelon supply chain network. Short harvest period, product specifications, high perished rate, and special storing and distributing conditions make the modeling of citrus supply chain more complicated than other ones. The proposed model aims to minimize network costs includin...

Supply chain master planning considering material-financial flows

In this study, tactical decisions considering the material and financial flows in a supply chain have been made. To achieve these aims and some effective solutions, a multi-objective mathematical model proposed for an integrated supply chain master planning problem. The multi-product, multi-period and capacitated supply chain network has three objective functions. Two first objective functions ...

Optimizing Bi-Objective Multi-Commodity Tri-Echelon Supply Chain Network

The competitive market and declined economy have increased the relevant importance of making supply chain network efficient. This has created many motivations to reduce the cost of services, and simultaneously, to increase the quality of them. The network as a tri-echelon one consists of Suppliers, Warehouses or Distribution Centers (DCs), and Retailer nodes. To bring the problem closer to real...

Application of Labels to Trace Material Flows in Multi-echelon Supply Chains

Current developments in society increasingly require information on products at batch level. This holds true especially for food industry. To be able to meet such requirements, data on the origin of products is an important factor, frequently including details of production conditions in preceding echelons. This paper discusses how code numbers, batches and particularly labels in multi-echelon ...
