Research on the Model of Inventory-Transportation Integrated Optimization for the Supply Chain with Road Capacity Considerations

Abstract:

With the rapid development of economy, effective management for a supply chain in the modern enterprise has become increasingly important. The inventory-transportation integrated optimization is from the systematic and integrated idea, to integrate the inventory control and transportation scheduling as a whole and optimize the supply chain. Base on this, the paper aims at the structure of singer distribution center and multi-vendor in the supply chain network, research the collaborative decision strategy for a multi-level inventory and establish the corresponding inventory-transportation integrated optimization model in the case of road capacity limit. At the end of paper, we have given an effective algorithm to solve the model.
