“…Numerous studies related to problems of dependability in supply chains [1][2][3]8], take into account issues related to reducing system efficiency and changes in the loading of transport routes within the network [24,27]. Sohn and Choi [28] analyse issues related to managing a supply chain in relation to the reliability of subsequent stages -logistic processes, including warehouse processes.…”

“…Such models have been studied by researchers in operations research (OR) for several years. For example, Geoffrion and Graves (1974) study the multicommodity warehouse location problem for a major food firm; Eppen and Schrage (1981) study the inventory allocation decisions in a distribution network; and Bramel and Simchi-Levi (1997) present an overview of logistics research. During these years, OR researchers have developed effective solution methodologies for solving large-scale instances of the production distribution problem that have enabled firms to streamline their supply chains.…”

S upply chain management is likely to play an important role in the digital economy. In this paper, we first describe major issues in traditional supply chain management. Next, we focus our attention on the supply chain issues of visibility, supplier relationships, distribution and pricing, customization, and real-time decision technologies that have risen to importance with the prevalence of e-business. We present an overview of relevant analytical research models that have been developed in these areas, discuss their contributions, and conclude with a discussion on future modeling opportunities in this area.

“…Toth and Vigo (2002) provide recent surveys by several researchers of algorithms and applications of both vehicle routing and inventory routing problems. Also, see Bramel and Simchi-Levi (1997) and Federgruen and Simchi-Levi (1995) for earlier surveys of IRPs.…”

supermarket chain in the Netherlands, faces a vehicle routing and delivery scheduling problem once every three to six months. Given hourly demand forecasts for each store, travel times and distances, cost parameters, and various transportation constraints, the firm seeks to determine a weekly delivery schedule specifying the times when each store should be replenished from a central distribution center, and to determine the vehicle routes that service these requirements at minimum cost. We describe the development and implementation of a system to solve this problem at Albert Heijn. The system resulted in savings of 4% of distribution costs in its first year of implementation and is expected to yield 12%-20% savings as the firm expands its usage. It also has tactical and strategic advantages for the firm, such as in assessing the cost impact of various logistics and marketing decisions, in performance measurement, and in competing effectively through reduced lead time and increased frequency of replenishment.
