Joint replenishment and delivery problem with fuzzy chance constraint resouce restriction

Abstract

The joint replenishment and delivery problem with fuzzy chance constraint resource restriction is considered. In the proposed approach, the objective function is to minimize the ordering cost, the inventory holding cost, the transportation cost and the customer waiting cost. Mathematical model is developed, and differential evolution (DE) algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. The performance of the algorithm is then verified and test under the indirect group strategy for 1600 randomly generated problems. The results show the robust performance of the proposed algorithms.
