Inventory-Transportation Integrated Optimization Problem in Many-to-One Distribution System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In many-one distribution system, the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) was applied to solve the Inventory-transportation Integrated Optimization problem (ITIO problem). The ITIO problem in many-one distribution system is difficult. When the product variety, the supplier quantity or the vehicle capacity increases, the calculated quantity will increase exponentially, and it is very difficult to get an exact solution. However, the GRASP can answer this problem. Further, by analyzing the computer experiments, it is proved that the GRASP can find the better solution to the ITIO problem in less time, and the quality of the solution will be improved with the size of the problem expanding.
