Effective supply chain strategies for creating competitiveness revolve around the on-time delivery of quality goods and services, at a reasonable cost. This balance between time constraints and profit can be achieved if and only if distribution system is efficient. The efficiency of distribution system can be increased if the vehicle is routed efficiently through network of bunch of customer scattered...
The assemble-to-order (ATO) production strategy considers a tradeoff between the size of a product portfolio and the assembly lead time. The concept of modular design is often used in support of the ATO strategy. Modular design impacts the assembly of products and the supply chain, in particular, the storage, transport, and production are affected by the selected modular structure. The demand for...
In this paper, we combine model predictive control (MPC) and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) into a hierarchical optimization framework capable of solving a class of coordination problems in multi-vehicle networks. A critical issue in MPC/MILP applications is that the underlying optimization problem must be solved on-line. This introduces a time constraint that is hard to meet when the number...
