Most of the products imported from Mexico to U.S. can be classified as perishable. The United States Trade Representative has reported that the overall importations from Mexico to U.S. were equivalent to $16.4 billion during 2012. Due to the geographical location of both countries most of the transportation of products across the U.S. - Mexico border is road modal transportation. The inspection of...
For the problem that the high cost of reverse logistics in steel & iron industry lowers the rate of recovery of scrap steel and reutilization.etc, on the basis of analyzing the business processes flow of reverse logistics in iron & steel industry, the reverse supply chain management information systems for the steel & iron enterprises is introduced in the paper. To determine location selection...
The standard simulated algorithm has been applied into vehicle routing problem, and it has the common defects of slow convergence and easily being trapped into local minima. In this paper, a new stochastic approach called the simulated annealing genetic algorithm is proposed to solve stochastic vehicle routing problems and the solution is then compared with that from simulated algorithm. Results from...
An assemble to order policy considers a trade-off between the size of product portfolio and assembly lead time. The concept of modular design is often used to implement the assemble to order policy. Modular design impacts assembly of products and the supply chain. In particular, storage, transportation and production are affected by the selected modular structure. For a fixed number of modules, a...
