Supply chain planning is based on the assumption of fixed production locations. This
appears justified insofar as location decisions are usually strategic in nature and …

Inventory-routing problems (IRP) combine inventory control and vehicle routing, effectively
optimizing inventory and replenishment decisions over several periods at a centralized …

Traditionally, a typical approach towards supply chain planning has been the sequential
one. By ignoring the links between decisions, this approach leads to each department of a …

We introduce, model and solve to optimality a rich multi-product, multi-period and multi-
compartment vehicle routing problem with a required compartment cleaning activity. This …

This chapter covers different aspects related with facility location problems involving time-
dependent parameters. The emphasis is put on problems defined over a multi-period finite …

This paper studies the Dynamic Facility Location Problem with Modular Capacities (DFLPM).
It generalizes several facility location problems and consists in determining locations and …

Meeting highly variable product demands in a cost-efficient manner is an essential task for
the chemical industry. Small-scale, modular, and mobile production units allow for a more …

Shorter product life cycles in the chemical industry have led to uncertain demand in terms of
volume, location and type. Modular production concepts can be used to serve such volatile …

Location decisions are frequently subject to dynamic aspects such as changes in customer
demand. Often, flexibility regarding the geographic location of facilities, as well as their …

Motivated by an industrial application, we consider a recently introduced multi-period facility
location problem with multiple commodities and multiple capacity levels. The problem allows …
