An Adaptive Tabu Search Method for Optimizing Procurement Plans under Correlated Demands

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper we develop an adaptive Tabu search method to facilitate retailers in deciding procurement plans while facing correlated demands. The Tabu search method examines mul-tiple candidate moves in a single iteration, and randomly accepts one of the candidate moves based the solution quality and an adaptive probability measure. We vary the acceptance probability so that Tabu search is able to switch between intensification and diversification. The Tabu search method is compared against a Hillclimbing-based construction method, and computational results demonstrate that Tabu search performed significantly better than the construction heuristics.
