“…The data of each arc is given in Table 1. If the manager is assigned a budget of 14 (c = 14) to transport 3 units of commodity (demand level d = 3) from to t, the reliability index R (3,14) can be obtained as follows (for convenience, the set of state vectors is denoted by its smallest and largest state vectors as [ , ]).…”

“…Consequently, (2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 1), (1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 2), and (1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 1) are all (3, 14)-MPs. Let 1 = { | ≥ (2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 1)}, 2 = { | ≥ (1,2,0,1,2,1)}, and 3 = { | ≥ (1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 2)}; then, according to (1), (3,14)…”

That is, the probability of transmitting 3 units of commodity demand from to with the total transportation cost less than or equal to 14 is 0.64005 (note that the final result (3,14) = 0.66861 in [7,9] is incorrect). The value, 0.64005, gives the manager information on the capability of the network to ensure the shipment of 3 units of commodity within the budget 14 from to .…”

“…And, the goods transported through such logistics network are looked upon as a flow. The reliability index ( , ) of logistics network is defined as the probability that at least units of flow demand can be successfully transmitted from the source to the destination with the total transportation cost less than or equal to c [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. One of the general algorithms for computing 2 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society ( , ) is using ( , )-minimal paths (( , )-MPs) [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Reliability and transportation cost are two important indicators to measure the performance of logistics network. As a combination of reliability and transportation cost, the performance index ( , ) of logistics network is defined as the probability that at least units of flow demand can be successfully transmitted from the source to the destination with the total transportation cost less than or equal to . In this paper, an algorithm is developed to calculate ( , ) in terms of ( , )-minimal paths (( , )-MPs for short). The proposed algorithm employs a decomposition technique to divide the search space of ( , )-MPs such that the search space of ( , )-MPs can be dramatically reduced, and thereby ( , )-MPs can be efficiently obtained. An example is provided to illustrate the proposed algorithm. Finally, computational experiments conducted on one benchmark network indicate that the proposed method has an advantage over the existing methods. Hindawi Publishing Corporation

“…Assuming that the distributions of the arc capacities are independent, we provide an efficient algorithm to compute the probability of meeting this objective. Jane (11) recently proposed a cost and reliability integrated index to evaluate the performance of logistics systems. The index assumes the capacity of each arc in the logistics systems to be a binary‐state variable: good or fail.…”

The significance of integrating reliability into logistics performance has been established [The Logistics Performance Index and Its Indicators, World Bank International Trade and Transport Departments, (2010)]. Hence, as a response to the work by the World Bank, the present article aims to evaluate the performance index Rb,d of logistics systems as the probability that a specified demand d can be distributed successfully through multistate arc capacities from the source to the destination under the constraint that the total distribution cost should not exceed the cost limitation b. This article provides a pioneering approach for a straightforward computation of the performance index Rb,d. The proposed algorithm is a hybrid between the polynomial time capacity‐scaling algorithm, which was presented by Edmonds and Karp [JACM 19 (1972)], and the decomposition algorithm, which was presented by Jane and Laih [IEEE (2008)]. Currently, the proposed approach is the only algorithm that can directly compute Rb,d. An illustration of the proposed algorithm is presented. The results of the computational experiments indicate that the presented algorithm outperforms existing algorithms. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2012
