A heuristic method for location-inventory-routing problem in a three-echelon supply chain system

Location‐routing problem: a classification of recent research

“…As shown in Table 6, the application of LRP models to optimize a case of waste management network planning (e.g., Rahim and Sepil, 2014;Sheriff et al 2014;Asefi et al, 2019;Hu et al, 2019) is by far the most popular study. Other popular application areas are emergency and disaster management (Rath and Gutjahr, 2014;Wang et al, 2014;Bozorgi-Amiri and Khorsi, 2016;Xu et al, 2016;Burkart et al, 2017;Veysmoradi et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2019a;Xiong et al, 2019), food distribution network planning (Solak et al, 2014;Hemmelmayr et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2017;Validi et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018bWang et al, , 2018cChao et al, 2019;Saragih et al, 2019), and city logistics (Zhou et al, 2016; Zhou et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2018b;Chao et al, 2019;Rodriguez et al, 2019;Saragih et al, 2019;Schmidt et al, 2019). Each of these areas presents unique challenges for the researchers in the efforts to develop a model that correctly represents the real-life situation.…”

“…It is shown that most of the recently proposed LRP models are still considering only deterministic data (76.58%). However, SLRP (e.g., Bertazzi and Maggioni, 2017;Chang et al, 2017;Saragih et al, 2019) and FLRP (e.g. Ghezavati and Morakabatchian, 2015;Zhalechian et al, 2016;Pekel and Kara, 2019) have started to receive more recognition with the presence of 5.86% and 15.32% from the total publications.…”

“…This review has shown that most of the recent research articles (67.12%) on LRP considered the implementation of the metaheuristic techniques. It is also observed from the survey of Lopes et al (2013) that more recent works on LRP have considered the uncertainty of data, which is a situation the decision maker should deal with (e.g., Bertazzi and Maggioni, 2015;Chang et al, 2017;Saragih et al, 2019). In the intersection between these two areas, there is a rising trend of simheuristic techniques.…”

Demand management to cope with routes disruptions in location-inventory-routing problem for perishable products

“…The benefits of the integration of some supply chain decisions have been realized by many researchers. The problem of integrated location-inventory-routing (LIR) has been addressed by previous scholars (for example see Guerrero, Prodhon, Velasco, & Amaya, 2013 ; Zhalechian, Tavakkoli-Moghaddam, Zahiri, & Mohammadi, 2016 ; Zhang, Qi, Miao, & Liu, 2014 ; Zhao & Ke, 2017 ; Angazi, 2016 ; Habibi, Asadi, & Sadjadi, 2018 ; Asadi, Habibi, Nickel, & Sahebi, 2018 ; Zheng, Yin, & Zhang, 2019 ; Indah Saragih, Bahagia, & Syabri, 2019 ; Karakostas, Sifaleras, & Georgiadis, 2019 ). One of the significant issues in LIR problems is the perishability of products meaning that the quality and freshness of the products reduce over time and finally, the products are no longer useable if the reach their expiry date.…”

A model and two heuristic methods for The Multi-Product Inventory-Location-Routing Problem with heterogeneous fleet

“…Finally, Saragih et al [17] considered single-product, probabilistic demand, multi-period ILRP in a three-echelon supply chain. They proposed a heuristic method consisting of two stages.…”
