An Innovative Heuristic for Joint Replenishment Problem with Deterministic and Stochastic Demand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Joint replenishment problem (JRP) is a common real problem which aims to minimize order cost and inventory holding cost. In this paper, classical, centralized and decentralized JRP models are discussed. An innovative heuristic to minimize the total cost is implemented for each model. This heuristic seeks to balance the order cost and the inventory holding costs. The results show that the innovative heuristic can best be implemented in the classical and decentralized models. For stochastic demand such as Poisson or Exponential distribution, the innovative heuristic can be implemented with the random variables which are generated by Monte Carlo simulation.

Joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decisions for deteriorating items with stochastic demand and promotional efforts
This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...
متن کاملOptimal ordering quantities for substitutable deteriorating items under joint replenishment with cost of substitution
In this paper we develop an inventory model, to determine the optimal ordering quantities, for a set of two substitutable deteriorating items. In this inventory model the inventory level of both items depleted due to demands and deterioration and when an item is out of stock, its demands are partially fulfilled by the other item and all unsatisfied demand is lost. Each substituted item incurs a...

This paper investigates the integration of strategic and tactical decisions in the supply chain network design (SCND) considering assembly line balancing (ALB) under demand uncertainty. Due to the decentralized decisions, a novel bi-level stochastic programming (BLSP) model has been developed in which SCND problem has been considered in the upper-level model, while the lower-level model contain...

متن کاملSimple Policies for Joint Replenishment Can Perform Badly
We consider the stochastic joint replenishment problem in which several items must be ordered in the face of stochastic demand. Previous authors proposed multiple heuristic policies for this economically-important problem. We show that several such policies are not good approximations to an optimal policy, since as some items grow more expensive than others, the cost rate of the heuristic polic...
