The inventory-routing problem (IRP) dates back 30 years. It can be described as the
combination of vehicle-routing and inventory management problems, in which a supplier …

Abstract Throughout its history, Operational Research has evolved to include methods,
models and algorithms that have been applied to a wide range of contexts. This …

We review research on ship routing and scheduling and related problems during the new
millennium and provide four basic models in this domain. The volume of research in this …

The combined operation of distribution and inventory control achieved through a vendor-
managed inventory strategy creates a synergetic interaction that benefits supplier and …

This paper investigates a new static bicycle repositioning problem in which multiple types of
bikes are considered. Some types of bikes that are in short supply at a station can be …

Among the many extensions of the classical capacitated vehicle routing problem, multi-
compartment vehicle routing problems have been studied extensively only in recent years …

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 …

We introduce, model and solve to optimality a rich multi-product, multi-period and multi-

This paper presents a detailed description of a particular class of deterministic single
product Maritime Inventory Routing Problems (MIRPs), which we call deep-sea MIRPs with …

In this paper we solve a practical Multi-Depot Inventory Routing Problem (MDIRP). One
minimizes routing costs by determining how to serve the customers from different depots …
