The Benders decomposition algorithm has been successfully applied to a wide range of
difficult optimization problems. This paper presents a state-of-the-art survey of this algorithm …

The production routing problem (PRP) combines the lot-sizing problem and the vehicle
routing problem, two classical problems that have been extensively studied for more than …

Following our previous paper (Brahimi, Dauzère-Pérès, Najid, & Nordli, 2006), we present
an updated and extended survey of Single-Item Lot-Sizing Problems with focus on …

We consider the problem of inventory routing in the context of perishable products and find
near-optimal replenishment scheduling and vehicle routes when the objective is to …

Collaborative vehicle routing of multiple logistics providers is an important component of
horizontal logistic collaboration that generates economic and societal benefits. Existing …

We conduct a comprehensive review on multi-level facility location problems which extend
several classical facility location problems and can be regarded as a subclass within the …

This paper presents a comparison of sequential and integrated planning for the production
routing problem, in which production, inventory, and routing decisions must be made. The …

While methods for optimization under uncertainty have been studied intensely over the past
decades, the explicit consideration of the interplay between uncertainty and time has gained …

The freshness of perishable products, in addition to other economic aspects such as
production, inventory, and transportation management, is one of the main challenges of food …

Stochastic programming involves large-scale optimization with exponentially many
scenarios. This paper proposes an optimization-based scenario reduction approach to …
