abstractin this study, a vendor-managed inventory model is developed for a single-vendor multiple-retailer single-warehouse (sv-mr-sv) supply chain problem based on the economic order quantity in which demands are stochastic and follow a uniform probability distribution. in order to reduce holding costs and to help balanced on-hand inventory cost between the vendor and the retailers, it is assu...

We studied the inventory control of deteriorating items for suppliers under VMI model. The cost structure and the optional strategies for this model were first discussed. Bi-level programming models of integrated delivery strategies were established. We introduced the genetic algorithm to solve the problem. Finally the merit and demerit of each model and the adaptability were analyzed. 2011 Els...

a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: C02 M11 C44 C61 Keywords: Multi-item production system Rotation cycle time Multi-delivery Economic production quantity model Scrap Vendor–buyer integrated system This paper addresses the joint determination of a rotation cycle time and number of shipments for a multi-item economic production quantity (EPQ) model with random defective rate. The classic E...

We study the integrated logistics network design and inventory stocking problem as characterized by the interdependency of the design and stocking decisions in service parts logistics. These two sets of decisions have been usually considered sequentially in practice, and the associated problems have been tackled separately in the research literature. The overall problem is typically further com...

Spare parts inventory management is one of the major areas of inventory research. Analysis of recent literature showed that an approach integrating spare parts classification, demand forecasting, and stock control policies is essential; however, adapting this integrated approach is limited. This work presents an integrated framework for spare part inventory management and an Excel based applica...

In this paper, a mathematical programming model is presented for integrated problem of closed loop supply chain network design and supplier selection. The suppliers  propose discount policy based on purchase amount and loyalty of buyers which are both taken from the elements of RFM (Recency, Frequency and Monetary) technique. The main objective of this paper which is formulated by a mixed-integ...

Abstract             In this research, an integrated inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items is analyzed when demand is sensitive to changes in price. The price used in this research is a time-dependent function of the initial selling price and the discount rate. To control the deterioration rate of items at the storage...

in this paper, we study the problem of integrated capacitated hub location problem and seat inventory control considering concept and techniques of revenue management. we consider an airline company maximizes its revenue by utilizing the best network topology and providing proper booking limits for all itineraries and fare classes. the transportation system arises in the form of a star/star net...
