Abstract

This paper studies a variant of Inventory Routing Problem (IRP) in the context of Supply Hub in Industrial Park (SHIP), where a cluster of closely located manufacturers share the warehousing and transportation services provided by the Supply Hub. We aim to identify a combined inventory and routing strategy to minimize the total cost of inventory holding and transportation services over the finite planning horizon. In this paper, the SHIP-IRP is formally described and modeled as a two-level, multi-period, one-to-many distribution system. Heterogeneous vehicles have been incorporated into IRPs for the first time, and three assumptions have been made to make the model computationally solvable.
