In this paper, we develop a mathematical programming approach for coordinating inventory and transportation decisions in an inbound commodity collection system. In particular, we consider a system that consists of a set of geographically dispersed suppliers that manufacture one or more non-identical items, and a central warehouse that stocks these items. The warehouse faces a constant and deter...

Constrained multi-item inventory system with variable demands are considered. The demand rates of five selected - Cowbell, Milo, SMA, Cerelac and Golden Morn were modeled as Weibull, Normal Lognormal probability distributions respectively the aid chi-squared multinomial goodness-of-fit test. respective estimated location parameters: 491.55, 536.92, 10.5, 2.1926 5.3103 used basis probabilistic m...

This research makes use of the Method for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution, also known as TOPSIS approach, in order discover most suitable site a company's warehouse. Following establishment criteria selection warehouse location, weights were allotted each criteria. The min-max method was utilized do data normalization once it had been collected prospective location. After const...

We study the pricing problem for a third-party-logistics (3PL) provider that provides warehousing and transportation services. When customers arrive at the 3PL provider, they specify the delivery dates for their freight, and before the specified delivery dates, their freight is stocked in the 3PL provider’s warehouse. We propose a dynamic pricing strategy (DPS) and develop a stochastic-nonlinea...

The data warehouse (DWH) is usually presented as a centralized database. In this paper, we propose a new approach to manage data storage and distribution in a data warehouse environment. This approach deals with the dynamic data distribution of the DWH on a set of servers. The data distribution that we consider is different from the “classical” one which depends on the data use. The distributio...

This paper considers a one-warehouse multi-retailer inventory system that faces discrete stochastic demand of the customers. Under the so-called balance assumption (also known as the allocation assumption), base stock policies are optimal. Our main contribution is to show that the optimal base stock levels satisfy newsvendor characterizations, which are in terms of inequalities, and to extend t...

It has been widely demonstrated by many research works that the distribution of a factory can condition its productivity. Because this, in Santiago, Chile, asked authors for advice to evaluate current situation company and what alternatives could be proposed improve performance increasing productivity without incurring too high costs. Among most important requirements requested was study design...

multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. in this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. we have assumed the demand i...

Warehouses are scientifically designed storage structures that protect the quantity and quality of stored products with necessary preservation methods. This study was conducted to assess growth performance warehouses, Negotiable Warehouse Receipt (NWR) electronic (e-NWR) in India. Percentage analysis indicated there is 102.42 per cent number Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) warehouses aver...
