This study is about an integrated procurement and transportation planning system for purchased components of a consumer-durables manufacturer. Due to transportation cost structures and demand characteristics our problem can be classified as a variant of the dynamic-demand joint replenishment problem. The problem is to determine the replenishment policy using the advantages of coordinated transportation of items that will minimize the sum of total inventory holding and tranportation costs over a finite planning horizon. A mathematical model is formulated for purchasing and transportation decisions for the purchased items using the advantage of joint transportation costs. A two-phased solution method is proposed in order to obtain a “good solution” for the problem. The proposed solution method is compared with the current practice for different problem instances using retrospective data and created data. As a result it is shown that proposed method decrease the total inventory and transportation cost of the system even though the first aggregate problem can not be solved to optimality.

A decision support system for production planning and pre-cost estimation activities in an apparel company Gökalp, Ebru; Şen, Tayyar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010) In this study, a specific decision support system is designed and developed for Production Planning and Marketing Department of an apparel company. The developed system involves two modules with user friendly interface or data input and query. The system is designed to provide support in the following fields of decision making; pre cost estimation, capacity planning, master production planning and production scheduling. A detailed analysis of the existing system is conducted and Microsoft Access is used for...
Optimal pricing and production decisions in reusable container systems Atamer, Büşra; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010) In this study, we focus on pricing and production decisions in reusable container systems with stochastic demand. We consider a producer that sells a single product to the customers in reusable containers with two supply options: (i) brand-new containers, (ii) returned containers from customers. Customers purchasing the products may return the containers to the producer to receive a deposit price. The return quantity depends on both customer demand and the deposit price determined by the producer. Hence, th...
An integrated inventory control and vehicle routing problem Solyalı, Oğuz; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) In this study, we consider a logistics system, in which a single supplier delivers a product to multiple retailers over a finite time horizon. Supplier decides on the amount to order in each period and services retailers facing deterministic dynamic demand via a fleet of vehicles having limited capacity. Each retailer has specific minimum and maximum levels of inventory in an order-up-to level inventory policy setting. The problem is to simultaneously determine the quantity of product to order to the suppli...
Multi-item inventory-routing problem for an FMCG company Zerman, Erel; Kırca, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007) In this study, inventoryrouting system of a company operating in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry is analyzed. The company has decided to redesign distribution system by locating regional warehouses between production plants and customers. The warehouses in the system are all allowed to hold stock without any capacity restriction. The customers are replenished by the warehouse to which they have been assigned. Customer stocks are continuously monitored by the warehouse and deliveries are to be sch...
Capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems: branch and bound based approaches ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This study considers an operation assignment and capacity allocation problem that arises in flexible manufacturing systems. The machines have limited time and tool magazine capacities and the available tools are limited. Our objective is to maximise total weight of assigned operations. We develop a branch and bound algorithm that finds the optimal solutions and a beam search algorithm that finds high quality solutions in polynomial time.
