Inventory/Transportation Integrated Optimization

At present muiti-stage inventory management of supply chain is a research field that the academia and enterprises all pay close attention, and it is a complicated systems engineering question too. Therefore, according to system and integrated idea, this thesis will solve the Inventory/Transportation Integrated Optimization problem in two-stage supply chain system of one-to-mutiple inventory system. This thesis can provide a good chance to overcome the inventory and transportation contradiction that puzzling supporter and demander, and make it possible to reduce the logistics operation cost.In the first, this thesis summarizes Inventory/Transportation Integrated Optimization problem, analyses simply the research situation of and implement circumstance. In the second, the related elements that effect the establishment of Inventory/Transportation Integrated Optimization model are discussed. And according to the difference of market demand and lead-time, we divide them into four sets and discuss them one by one. In the third, the improved Inventory/Transportation Integrated Optimization model is established . At last, thesis makes up a logistics example to inspect the model created before and correction of the solve.
