On the Integrated Supply and Distribution Problem with Heterogeneous Vessels

摘要：

In many business applications, the supply schedules, which is determined by the manufacturers capability, and the distribution schedules, which is determined by the logistics partners capability, must be coordinated to form an integrated schedule with respect to a given business objective (e.g., minimizing the total operating cost, maximizing the customer satisfaction, etc.). This leads to the integrated supply-distribution problem. In this paper, we analyze and develop a solution approach for a variation of such integrated supply-distribution problems involving heterogeneous vessels and many customers.
