Inventory positioning, scheduling and lead-time quotation in supply chains

چکیده
We consider supply chain networks composed of several centrally managed production facilities as well as external suppliers. We design effective heuristics for inventory positioning, order sequencing, and short and reliable due-date quotation for this supply chain. We perform extensive computational testing to assess the effectiveness of our algorithms, and we explore the impact of supply chain topology on inventory costs and effective due-date quotation. r 2008 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملCombined make-to-order/make-to-stock supply chains
A multi-item manufacturer served by a single supplier in a stochastic environment is considered. The manufacturer and the supplier have to decide which items to produce to stock and which to produce to order. The manufacturer also has to quote due dates to arriving customers for make-to-order products. The manufacturer is penalized for long lead times, missing the quoted lead times and high inv...
متن کاملCentralized Versus Decentralized Scheduling and Due Date Quotation in a Make-to-Order Supply Chain
Although there is a vast and growing amount of literature on supply chain coordination, the majority of this literature focuses on make-to-stock systems and performance measures built around service and inventory levels. On the other hand, an increasing number of supply chains are better characterized as make-to-order systems. Fast and on-time delivery is obviously critical for any firm that op...
متن کاملIntegrating Inventory Planning with Project Management in Project-Driven Supply Chains
Most real-world projects require material supplies at various stages. Project-driven supply chains (PDSCs) are the combinations of project activities and their supporting material supply chains where the demand for the latter is driven by the material requirement of the former. Material supply decisions (e.g., inventory positioning) and project decisions (e.g., resource planning, project schedu...
متن کاملA Hybrid Dynamic Programming for Inventory Routing Problem in Collaborative Reverse Supply Chains
Inventory routing problems arise as simultaneous decisions in inventory and routing optimization. In the present study, vendor managed inventory is proposed as a collaborative model for reverse supply chains and the optimization problem is modeled in terms of an inventory routing problem. The studied reverse supply chains include several return generators and recovery centers and one collection...
