Synchronizing production and air transportation scheduling using mathematical programming models

Traditional scheduling problems assume that there are always infinitely many resources for delivering finished jobs to their destinations, and no time is needed for their transportation, so that finished products can be transported to customers without delay. So, for coordination of these two different activities in the implementation of a supply chain solution, we studied the problem of synchronizing production and air transportation scheduling using mathematical programming models. The overall problem is decomposed into two sub-problems, which consists of air transportation allocation problem and a single machine scheduling problem which they are considered together. We have taken into consideration different constraints and assumptions in our modeling such as special flights, delivery tardiness and no delivery tardiness. For these purposes, a variety of models have been proposed to minimize supply chain total cost which encompass transportation, makespan, delivery earliness tardiness and departure time earliness tardiness costs.     

Scheduling parallel machines with single vehicle delivery

We investigate the integrated production and distribution scheduling problem in a supply chain. The manufacturer’s production environment is modeled as a parallel machine system. A single capacitated vehicle is employed to deliver products in batches to multiple customers. The scheduling problem can also be viewed as either parallel machines with delivery considerations or a flexible flowshop. Different inventory holding costs, job sizes (volume or storage space required in the transportation unit), and job priorities are taken into account. Efficient mathematical modeling and near-optimal heuristic approaches are presented for minimizing total weighted completion time.

Supply chain scheduling in a collaborative manufacturing mode: model construction and algorithm design

In collaborative manufacturing, the supply chain scheduling problem becomes more complex according to both multiple product demands and multiple production modes. Aiming to obtain a reasonable solution to this complexity, we analyze the characteristics of collaborative manufacturing and design some elements, including production parameters, order parameters, and network parameters. We propose four general types of collaborative manufacturing networks and then construct a supply chain scheduling model composed of the processing costs, inventory costs, and two penalty costs of the early completion costs and tardiness costs. In our model, by considering the urgency of different orders, we design a delivery time window based on the least production time and slack time. Additionally, due to the merit of continuously processing orders belonging to the same product type, we design a production cost function by using a piecewise function. To solve our model efficiently, we present a hybrid ant colony optimization (HACO) algorithm. More specifically, the Monte Carlo algorithm is incorporated into our HACO algorithm to improve the solution quality. We also design a moving window award mechanism and dynamic pheromone update strategy to improve the search efficiency and solution performance. Computational tests are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.

     

Incorporating inventory and routing costs in strategic location models

We consider a supply chain design problem where the decision maker needs to decide the number and locations of the distribution centers (DCs). Customers face random demand, and each DC maintains a certain amount of safety stock in order to achieve a certain service level for the customers it serves. The objective is to minimize the total cost that includes location costs and inventory costs at the DCs, and distribution costs in the supply chain. We show that this problem can be formulated as a nonlinear integer programming model, for which we propose a Lagrangian relaxation based solution algorithm. By exploring the structure of the problem, we find a low-order polynomial algorithm for the nonlinear integer programming problem that must be solved in solving the Lagrangian relaxation sub-problems. We present computational results for several instances of the problem with sizes ranging from 40 to 320 customers. Our results show the benefits of having an integrated supply chain design framework that includes location, inventory, and routing decisions in the same optimization model.     

A hybrid tabu search based heuristic for the periodic distribution inventory problem with perishable goods

Most of the research on integrated inventory and routing problems ignores the case when products are perishable. However, considering the integrated problem with perishable goods is crucial since any discrepancy between the routing and inventory cost can double down the risk of higher obsolescence costs due to the limited shelf-life of the products. In this paper, we consider a distribution problem involving a depot, a set of customers and a homogeneous fleet of capacitated vehicles. Perishable goods are transported from the depot to customers in such a way that out-of-stock situations never occur. The objective is to simultaneously determine the inventory and routing decisions over a given time horizon such that total transportation cost is minimized. We present a new “arc-based formulation” for the problem which is deemed more suitable for our new tabu search based approach for solving the problem. We perform a thorough sensitivity analysis for each of the tabu search parameters individually and use the obtained gaps to fine-tune the parameter values that are used in solving larger sized instances of the problem. We solve different sizes of randomly generated instances and compare the results obtained using the tabu search algorithm to those obtained by solving the problem using CPLEX and a recently published column generation algorithm. Our computational experiments demonstrate that the tabu search algorithm is capable of obtaining a near-optimal solution in less computational time than the time required to solve the problem to optimality using CPLEX, and outperforms the column generation algorithm for solving the “path flow formulation” of the problem in terms of solution quality in almost all of the considered instances.     

Complexities and algorithms for synchronized scheduling of parallel machine assembly and air transportation in consumer electronics supply chain

In this paper, we study the problem of synchronized scheduling of assembly and air transportation to achieve accurate delivery with minimized cost in consumer electronics supply chain. This problem was motivated by a major PC manufacturer in consumer electronics industry. The overall problem is decomposed into two sub-problems, which consist of an air transportation allocation problem and an assembly scheduling problem. The air transportation allocation problem is formulated as an integer linear programming problem with the objective of minimizing transportation cost and delivery earliness tardiness penalties. The assembly scheduling problem seeks to determine a schedule ensuring that the orders are completed on time and catch the flights such that the waiting penalties between assembly and transportation is minimized. The problem is formulated as a parallel machine scheduling problem with earliness penalties. The computational complexities of the two sub-problems are investigated. The air transportation allocation problem with split delivery is shown to be solvable. The parallel machine assembly scheduling problem is shown to be NP-complete. Simulated annealing based heuristic algorithms are presented to solve the parallel machine problem.     

A branch-and-bound algorithm for single-machine scheduling with batch delivery minimizing flow times and delivery costs

This paper addresses scheduling a set of jobs on a single machine for delivery in batches to customers or to other machines for further processing. The problem is a natural extension of minimizing the sum of flow times by considering the possibility of delivering jobs in batches and introducing batch delivery costs. The scheduling objective adopted is that of minimizing the sum of flow times and delivery costs. The extended problem arises in the context of coordination between machine scheduling and a distribution system in a supply chain network. Structural properties of the problem are investigated and used to devise a branch-and-bound solution scheme. Computational experiments show significant improvements over an existing dynamic programming algorithm.

An improved stochastic programming model for supply chain planning of MRO spare parts

The maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) spare parts that are vital to machine operations are playing an increasingly important role in manufacturing enterprises. MRO spare parts supply chain management planning must be coordinated to ensure spare part availability while keeping the total cost to a minimum. Due to the specificity of MRO spare parts, randomness and uncertainties in production and storage should be quantified to formulate the problem in a mathematical model. Given these considerations, this paper proposes an improved stochastic programming model for the supply chain planning of MRO spare parts. In our stochastic programming model, the following improvements are made: First, we quantify the uncertain production time capacity as a random variable with a probability distribution. Second, the upper bound of the storage cost is modeled as a multi-choice variable in the constraint. To derive the equivalent deterministic model, the Lagrange interpolating polynomial approach is used. The results of the numerical examples validate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed model. Finally, the model is tested in the supply chain planning of continuous caster (CC) bearings.
