Fast fashion trends are changing in nonstop. Brands are consequently faced to big challenges. Processes must be fluent, while costs must be optimized within all the constraints. This article is a literature review, about the fast fashion process engineering challenges, from production to retail. We explore a review analysis of the main problematic nodes, of the whole chain, that retailers focus on to improve their productivity and profit. We examine the literature review of solutions proposed to these problems. Finally we propose the untapped fields, and the potential research scopes to work on in future.
This paper considers an integrated Inventory Location Routing problem ILRP which consists of optimizing the operating costs, risks and routing's CO2 emissions related to a Hazmat supply chain. The goal is to determine: the location of a set of capacitated depots to open, customers allocated to them, quantities delivered from these depots to customers per period, and the sequence in which customers are served by a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles. To solve the problem, an exact bi-objective model is designed and tested for small and medium size instances. A case study is proposed to prove industrial practicality of the model. The results show that the proposed solution resolves decently the medium size instances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
