Optimal Batching and Shipment Control in a Single-stage Supply Chain System

چکیده
This research studies the single-stage supply chain system operated under JIT technique. A kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking the production processes in a supply chain system. The number of kanbans, batch size, and the number of batches are determined optimally. Based on this information, kanban operation between two adjacent plants can be worked out for controlling the supply chain system. The model of supply chain system is a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) which is solved optimally by a branch-and-bound method. The total cost of supply chain system is minimized through kanban mechanism.

Optimal Control of Serial, Multi-Echelon Inventory/Production Systems with Periodic Batching
We consider a single-item, periodic-review, serial, multi-echelon inventory system, with linear inventory holding and penalty costs. In order to facilitate shipment consolidation and capacity planning, we assume the system has implemented periodic batching: each stage is allowed to order at given equidistant times. Further, for each stage except the most downstream one, the reorder interval is ...
متن کاملArtificial Immune System for Single Machine Scheduling and Batching Problem in Supply Chain
This paper addresses a production and outbound distribution scheduling problem in which a set of jobs have to be process on a single machine for delivery to customers or to other machines for further processing. We assume that there is a sufficient number of vehicles and the delivery costs is independent of batch size but it is dependent on each trip. In this paper, we present an Artificial Imm...
متن کاملOptimal Manufacturer-Retailer Policies in a Supply Chain with Defective Product and Price Dependent Demand
This study deals with a two-level supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. We consider an integrated production inventory system where the manufacturer processes raw materials in order to deliver finished product with imperfect quality to the retailer, where number of defective product has a uniform distribution. The retailer receives product and conducts a 100% inspection....
متن کاملSupply chain scheduling: Batching and delivery
Although the supply chain management literature is extensive, the benefits and challenges of coordinated decision making within supply chain scheduling models have not been studied. We consider a variety of scheduling, batching and delivery problems that arise in an arborescent supply chain where a supplier makes deliveries to several manufacturers, who also make deliveries to customers. The ob...
متن کاملA mixed integer linear programming formulation for a multi-stage, multi-Product, multi-vehicle aggregate production-distribution planning problem
In today’s competitive market place, companies seek an efficient structure of supply chain so as to provide customers with highest value and achieve competitive advantage. This requires a broader perspective than just the borders of an individual company during a supply chain. This paper investigates an aggregate production planning problem integrated with distribution issues in a supply chain ...
