TLDR
The success in implementing push-pull strategies, when firms change from one strategy to another in managing the chain and where time lines are crucial, is dependent on adaptive transshipment scheduling.Abstract:
The supply chain between manufacturers and retailers always includes transshipments through a network of locations. A major challenge in making demand meet supply has been to coordinate transshipment activities across the chain aimed at reducing costs and increasing service levels in the face of a range of factors, including demand fluctuations, short lead times, warehouse limitations and transportation and inventory costs. The success in implementing push-pull strategies, when firms change from one strategy to another in managing the chain and where time lines are crucial, is dependent on adaptive transshipment scheduling. Yet again, in transshipment through crossdocks, where just-in-time objectives prevail, precise scheduling between suppliers, crossdocks and customers is required to avoid inventory backups or delays.read more

Truck dock assignment problem with operational time constraint within crossdocks
Zhaowei Miao,Andrew Lim,Hong Ma +2 more
TL;DR: It is found that as the problem size grows, the IP model size quickly expands to an extent that the ILOG CPLEX Solver can hardly manage, and two meta-heuristic approaches, Tabu Search (TS) and genetic algorithm (GA) are proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model for coordinating inventory and transportation decisions in vendor-managed inventory (VMI) systems is presented, where a vendor realizes a sequence of random demands from a group of retailers located in a given geographical region.
