摘要:This article studies a three-level multi-product location-inventory problem in which location, allocation and inventory decisions are taken in a three-level supply chain including plants, distribution centers and retailers. The direct shipment from plant to retailer is allowed and two-echelon inventory and demand correlation among retailers are considered in this supply chain network. A mixed integer nonlinear programming formulation is presented to describe the problem and trade off the costs of setup, transportation, inventory and deterioration. Then it is transformed to a conic quadratic mixed integer programming formulation and solved with a standard optimization software packages-CPLEX. In addition, we demonstrate that the distribution network allowing for direct shipment from plant to retailer is more optimal than the distribution network ignoring it in the three-level supply chain network with perishable product.
