Multiperiod supply chain network equilibrium model with electronic commerce and multicriteria decision-making

Guoshan Liu, Shiqin Xu (2012)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In this paper, we develop a supply chain network equilibrium model in which electronic commerce in the presence of both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) transactions, multiperiod decision-making and multicriteria decision-making are integrated. The model consists of three tiers of decision-makers (manufacturers, retailers and consumers at demand markets) who compete within a tier but may cooperate between tiers. Both manufacturers and retailers are concerned with maximization...

Multiple routing strategies in a labelled network

J. Maublanc, D. Peyrton, A. Quilliot (2001)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We present here models and algorithms for the construction of efficient path systems, robust to possible variations of the characteristics of the network. We propose some interpretations of these models and proceed to numerical experimentations of the related algorithms. We conclude with a discussion of the way those concepts may be applied to the design of a Public Transportation System.

Multiple Routing Strategies in a Labelled Network

Numerical solutions of the mass transfer problem

Serge Dubuc, Issa Kagabo (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Let μ and ν be two probability measures on the real line and let c be a lower semicontinuous function on the plane. The mass transfer problem consists in determining a measure ξ whose marginals coincide with μ and ν, and whose total cost ∫∫ c(x,y)dξ(x,y) is minimum. In this paper we present three algorithms to solve numerically this Monge-Kantorovitch problem when the commodity being shipped is one-dimensional and not necessarily confined to a bounded interval. We illustrate these numerical...

On cycling in the simplex method of the transportation problem

Włodzimierz Szwarc (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper shows that cycling of the simplex method for the m × n transportation problem where k-1 zero basic variables are leaving and reentering the basis does not occur once it does not occur in the k × k assignment problem. A method to disprove cycling for a particular k is applied for k=2,3,4,5 and 6.

On designing connected rapid transit networks reducing the number of transfers

Laureano Fernando Escudero, Susana Muñoz (2011)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In this paper we introduce some improvements on an approach that we described elsewhere for solving a modification of the well-known extended rapid transit network design problem. Firstly, we propose an integer programming model for selecting the stations to be constructed and the links between them, in such a way that a connected rapid transit network is obtained. Secondly, we consider a linear 0-1 programming model for determining a route of minimum length in the rapid transit network between...

Pickup and delivery problem with split demand and transfers

Jan Pelikán (2013)

Kybernetika

We deal with a logistic problem motivated by a case study from a company dealing with inland transportation of piece goods in regular cycles. The problem consists in transportation of goods among regional centres – hubs of a network. Demands on transportation are contained in a matrix of flows of goods between pairs of hubs. The transport is performed by vehicles covering the shipping demands and the task is to design a cyclical route and to place a depot for each vehicle. The route depot can be...
