Performance analysis of an inventory-production system with shipment consolidation in the production facility
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider an inventory–production system consisting of a warehouse and a production facility. The warehouse is used to store products to satisfy customer demands, and its inventory is controlled by an (r,Q ) policy. Products ordered by the warehouse are processed in the production facility on a one-by-one basis, and finished products are consolidated into batches to be shipped from the production facility to the warehouse. Using the matrix-analytic methods, explicit solutions are obtained and computational methods are developed for analyzing system performance measures. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On the Integrated Production, Inventory, and Distribution Routing Problem
The integrated production, inventory and distribution routing problem (PDRP) is concerned with coordinating the production, inventory and delivery operations to meet customer demand with an objective to minimize the cost. The particular PDRP that we consider in this study also involves heterogeneous transporters with non-instantaneous traveling times and many customer demand centers each with i...
متن کاملAn integrated vendor–buyer model with stochastic demand, lot-size dependent lead-time and learning in production
In this article, an imperfect vendor–buyer inventory system with stochastic demand, process quality control and learning in production is investigated. It is assumed that there are learning in production and investment for process quality improvement at the vendor’s end, and lot-size dependent lead-time at the buyer’s end. The lead-time for the first batch and those for the rest of the batches ...
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 ...
متن کاملA multi-item multi-echelon inventory system with quantity-based order consolidation
The efficient management of a distribution system requires coordination between transportation planning and inventory control. Small and frequent shipments can reduce inventory levels while maintaining high customer service levels, but they increase unit transportation costs due to inappropriate utilization of the vehicles and more handling costs. On the other hand shipment consolidation polici...
متن کاملProduction and Inventory Control of a Multi-item Multi-stage Manufacturing System: Simulation Modeling, Capacitated Shipment Planning and Kanban Design
The project work presented in this thesis has proposed solutions related to the control of production and work-in-process inventory in a multi-item multi-stage manufacturing system. A suitable base-stock inventory control policy is recommended to ensure that the desired service levels are maintained between production stages and for the final customers. Concept of coupling the production lines ...
