Optimization of Joint Economic Lot Size Model for Vendor‐Buyer with Exponential Quality Degradation and Transportation by Chimp Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

Freight transportation plays a critical role in improving company performance in the modern manufacturing industry. To reduce costs, companies must take advantage of the use of large vehicles. It caused fewer deliveries, but inventory costs and degradation quality are high. One of the joint economic lot size (JELS) problems in supply chain is Integrated Single-Vendor Single-Buyer Inventory Problem (I-SVSB-IP). This study developed the I-SVSB-IP model that considers raw materials’ exponential quality degradation and transportation costs. The objective function of this research was to maximize the Joint Total Profit (JTP). Three decision variables used were inventory cycle time (T), raw material ordering frequency (m), and frequency of delivery of finished products to buyers (n). This study proposed a sophisticated Chimp Optimization Algorithm (ChOA) procedure to solve the I-SVSB-IP problem. A case study on the food industry in Indonesia was presented to optimize the I-SVSB-IP. The results showed that the ChOA procedure had produced an optimal solution compared to the state-of-the-art algorithm. This study also demonstrated a sensitivity analysis of decision and transportation variables to cost, revenue, and JTP. The results show that increasing transport frequency of ordering raw materials (m) and finished products to buyers (n) enhances the total cost and reduces joint total profit. In addition, increasing the rate of quality degradation of raw materials reduces JTP.

Optimization Multi-Item Lot Sizing Model involve Transportation and Capacity Constraint under Stochastic Demand using Aquila Optimizer

“…Not only considering safety stock, but this research also considers the amount of lost sales due to the inability to meet demand. Expected lost sales are formulated in Equations ( 7) and (8). The total estimated cost of lost sales can be calculated in Equation (9).…”

A Study on Two-Warehouse Inventory Systems with Integrated Multi-Purpose Production Unit and Partitioned Rental Warehouse

“…The model is solved for optimizing the profit by pattern search and by genetic algorithm and has developed a dynamic solution approach for multiple disruption cases. The study [34,35] concludes the SVSB model for food goods, which takes into account the exponential quality degradation and uses the grey wolf optimizer algorithm to maximize joint total profit, exceeding Indonesia's genetic algorithm. The classical EPQ model of deterministic production inventory with three probabilistically varying deterioration cost functions was studied by [2] with demand influenced by both product cost and its advertisement.…”

Sustainable Production-Inventory Model with Multi-Material, Quality Degradation, and Probabilistic Demand: From Bibliometric Analysis to A Robust Model

“…Meanwhile, it is important to note that procurement, production, and distribution decisions in supply chain systems can affect supply chain performance (Lu et al, 2020;Maulana et al, 2020). This is the reason scholars have attempted to integrate inventory decisions into the supplier and manufacturing levels (Utama et al, 2022a;Utama et al, 2022b), internal manufacturing (Liu et al, 2021), and manufacturing-customer relationship. One of the problems identified in integrated inventory is the production and procurement system which is popularly known as the Production Inventory model (Goyal & Deshmukh, 1992;Park, 1983).…”

“…Different forms of sustainable production inventory models have been proposed with most of the previous studies discovered to have focused on minimizing one indicator of the environmental aspect such as electricity costs (Gautam et al, 2022), fuel consumption (Sarkar et al, 2017;Utama et al, 2022a;Wangsa & Wee, 2018), and emissions (Jaber et al, 2013;Jauhari et al, 2022;Ullah et al, 2021).…”
