Multi-period Location Allocation Problem with Safety Stock Optimization

چکیده
The design and management of a multi-stage production/distribution system is one of the most critical problem in logistics and in facility management. This manuscript deals with the so called facility locationallocation problem, i.e. with the simultaneous decisions regarding the design, management, and control of a distribution network. In particular the logistic problem object of this study deals with the determination of the number of facilities (e.g. production plants, warehousing systems, distribution centers DCs, etc.), the choice of their locations and the assignment of customers demand to them, incorporating also tactical decisions regarding inventory control, production rates and service level determination. The purpose is to design, test, and compare innovative cost-based models and solutions for the dynamic (i.e. multi-period) location allocation problem (LAP) with safety stock levels determination and customer service level optimization. An experimental analysis conducted on an industrial application is presented and discussed.

A New Hybrid Algorithm to Optimize Stochastic-fuzzy Capacitated Multi-Facility Location-allocation Problem
Facility location-allocation models are used in a widespread variety of applications to determine the number of required facility along with the relevant allocation process. In this paper, a new mathematical model for the capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with probabilistic customer's locations and fuzzy customer’s demands under the Hurwicz criterion is proposed. Thi...

A new multi-objective intermodal hub-location-allocation problem is modeled in this paper in which both the origin and the destination hub facilities are modeled as an M/M/m queuing system. The problem is being formulated as a constrained bi-objective optimization model to minimize the total costs as well as minimizing the total system time. A small-size problem is solved on the GAMS software t...

متن کاملA robust approach to multi period covering location-allocation problem in pharmaceutical supply chain
This paper proposes a discrete capacitated covering location-allocation model for pharmaceutical centers. In the presented model, two objectives are considered; the first one is minimization of costs and the second one try to maximize customer satisfaction by definition of social justice. Social justice in the model means that we consider customers satisfaction by using distance. the introduced...
متن کاملOptimization 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...
