  • an integrated model for stock replenishment and shipment scheduling under Common Carrier dispatch costs
    Transportation Research Part E-logistics and Transportation Review, 2010
    Co-Authors: Fatih Mutlu, Sila Cetinkaya
    Abstract:

    We examine a joint inventory replenishment and shipment scheduling problem that arises in the context of a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) arrangement. Since a temporal shipment consolidation policy is being implemented, the inventory requirements at the vendor are affected by the timing and quantity of shipment release. The vendor's problem is to determine an integrated policy for inventory replenishment and shipment release and to set its parameters. We develop analytical models for computing such integrated policies where it is economical to use Common carriage for outbound transportation. We propose algorithmic approaches to set the optimal policy parameter values.

  • Tabu search with ejection chains for the vehicle routing problem with private fleet and Common Carrier
    Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jean-yves Potvin, Marc-andré Naud
    Abstract:

    The problem reported in this paper is a variant of the classical vehicle routing problem, where customer requests for a transportation company can be served either by its private fleet of vehicles or assigned to an external Common Carrier. The latter case occurs if the demand exceeds the total capacity of the private fleet or if it is more economical to do so. Accordingly, the objective is to minimize the variable and fixed costs of the private fleet plus the costs charged by the Common Carrier. A tabu search heuristic with a neighbourhood structure based on ejection chains is proposed to solve this problem. It is empirically demonstrated that this algorithm outperforms the best approaches reported in the literature on a set of benchmark instances with both homogeneous and heterogeneous fleets.

  • A tabu search heuristic for the vehicle routing problem with private fleet and Common Carrier
    European Journal of Operational Research, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jean-françois Côté, Jean-yves Potvin
    Abstract:

    This paper describes a tabu search heuristic for a vehicle routing problem where the owner of a private fleet can either visit a customer with one of his vehicles or assign the customer to a Common Carrier. The owner's objective is to minimize the variable and fixed costs for operating his fleet plus the total costs charged by the Common Carrier. The proposed tabu search is shown to outperform the best approach reported in the literature on 34 benchmark instances with a homogeneous fleet.
