This paper presents an alternative model to deal with the problem of optimal energy consumption minimization of non-isothermal systems with variable inlet and outlet temperatures. The model is based on an implicit temperature ordering and the "transshipment model" proposed by Papoulias & Grossmann (1983). It is supplemented with a set of logical relationships related to the relative position of...

As competition from emerging economies such as China and India puts pressure on global supply chains and as new constraints emerge, it presents opportunities for approaches such as game theory for solving the transshipment problem. In this paper we use the well-known Shapley value concept from cooperative game theory as an approach to solve the transshipment problem for maintaining stable condi...

We consider a supply chain, which consists of several retailers and one supplier. The retailers, who possibly differ in their cost and demand parameters, may be coordinated through replenishment strategies and transshipments, that is, movement of a product among the locations at the same echelon level. We prove that in order to minimize the expected long-run average cost for this system, an opt...

In this study, a two echelons supply chain system in which a supplier is producing perishable product and distribute it to multiple customers is considered. By allowing lateral transshipment mechanism, it is also possible to deliver products to some customers in some periods in bulk, then customers using their own vehicle to transship goods between each other seeking further reduction in the ov...

In Indonesia, transshipment is a logistical method to maintain the fish’s quality, but in reality this activity allows IUU fishing. Through Regulation of Minister Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Number 57/PERMEN-KP/2014, activities were banned because losses arising from fishing partially facilitated by transshipment; fish caught are not reported recorded. Transshipment covers origin how transhi...

To improve efficiency and sustainability in synchromodal logistics, it becomes crucial to mitigate the disruptive effects caused by non-synchronized operations. In this work, we study Synchronized Location-Transshipment Problem which decisions on facilities select are fundamental ensure synchronization of flows correct exploiting just-in-time logistics cross-docking We propose a Mixed-Integer L...

We investigate the strategy of transshipments in a dynamic deterministic demand environment over a finite planning horizon. This is the first time that transshipments are examined in a dynamic or deterministic setting. We consider a system of two locations which replenish their stock from a single supplier, and where transshipments between the locations are possible. Our model includes fixed (p...
