The inventory routing problem arises when inventory management and vehicle routing
decisions are integrated instead of treated as separate problems. The technique of …

Abstract Inventory Routing Problem is a variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem that consists
of interrelated vehicle routing and inventory decisions. There is a growing interest in …

In this paper, we survey the literature on matheuristics proposed to solve vehicle routing
problems. A matheuristic makes use of mathematical programming models in a heuristic …

We study the integrated optimization of location, inventory and routing in supply chain
network design (SCDN) problem. The SCND decision has significant impact on the …

Maritime inventory routing problem is addressed in this paper to satisfy the demand at
different ports during the planning horizon. It explores the possibilities of integrating slow …

This paper presents a new multi-objective mathematical model to address a Healthcare
Inventory Routing Problem (HIRP) for medicinal drug distribution to healthcare facilities. The …

Ship routing and scheduling problem is considered to meet the demand for various products
in multiple ports within the planning horizon. The ports have restricted operating time, so …

This research addresses the sustainability and safety related challenges associated with the
complex, practical, and real-time maritime transportation problem, and proposes a …

Abstract The Maritime Inventory Routing Problem (MIRP) has gained attention in
combinatorial optimization in the last decades. The problem has several variations, mostly …

Due to an increased interest in small to medium scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) use, a
mathematical model has been developed to aid the decision making on tactical aspects in …
