This paper evaluates the performance of a VMI hub which supplies bare glasses to LCD manufacturers. We construct a simulation model to describe the operations of a third-party logistics provider that imports, stores, and delivers glass panels on behalf of an international supplier. Ordering and inventory decisions will affect service level and operating cost of the 3PL. Under the new VMI proposal,...
To establish the configuration relations of complex product structure in the process of customization into supply chain, a new product structure configuration model based on polychromatic graph theory was put forward. Then the optimum product structure configuration mathematical model was got and the improved ant colony algorithm was employed to solve the problem. The results showed that the solution...
Decentralized multi-echelon supply chains are often computationally intractable and difficult to analyze due to the complex network structure and various decision makings. This paper develops a simulation optimization framework for a general decentralized supply chain composed of sup-pliers, plants, distributors and customers. Each facility in the network is under local control and makes decisions...
The following topics are dealt with: intelligent computing and applications; neural network theory and applications; control theory and applications; modeling and simulation; rough set and data mining; intelligent systems; fuzzy systems and applications; factory automation; optimization theory and applications; circuit design and systems; image and signal processing; information security; modeling...
In a supply chain, there are wide variety of problems, such as transportation scheduling problems and warehouse location problems. These problems are independently defined as optimization problems, and algorithms have been proposed for each problem. It is difficult, however, to design an algorithm for optimizing a supply chain simultaneously because the problem is much more complex than the individual...
