Study on Model of Inventory and Distribution Joint Optimization Based on the VMI

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studies the problem of inventory and distribution joint optimization for two level logistics system of a supplier and multiple clients by building the model of inventory and distribution joint optimization based on VMI to reach the goal of minimizing the total system cost. Moreover, this article not only designs the iterative algorithm to solve the model, and determine the optimal inventory and distribution program from the perspective of system optimization, but also verifies the validity of the model and algorithm through using MATLAB software.
