Valid inequalities, preprocessing, and an effective heuristic for the uncapacitated three-level lot-sizing and replenishment problem with a distribution structure
Jesus O. Cunha, Rafael A. Melo
We consider the uncapacitated three-level lot-sizing and replenishment problem with a distribution structure. In this NP-hard problem, a single production plant sends the produced…
An enhanced simulation-based iterated local search metaheuristic for gravity fed water distribution network design optimization
Willian C. S. Martinho, Rafael A. Melo, Kenneth Sörensen
The gravity fed water distribution network design (WDND) optimization problem consists in determining the pipe diameters of a water network such that hydraulic constraints are sati…
A fast and effective MIP-based heuristic for a selective and periodic inventory routing problem in reverse logistics
Leopoldo E. Cárdenas-Barrón, Rafael A. Melo
We consider an NP-hard selective and periodic inventory routing problem (SPIRP) in a waste vegetable oil collection environment. This SPIRP arises in the context of reverse logisti…
On the computational complexity of uncapacitated multi-plant lot-sizing problems
J. O. Cunha, H. H. Kramer, R. A. Melo
Production and inventory planning have become crucial and challenging in nowadays competitive industrial and commercial sectors, especially when multiple plants or warehouses are i…
Extended formulation and valid inequalities for the multi-item inventory lot-sizing problem with supplier selection
Leopoldo E. Cárdenas-Barrón, Rafael A. Melo, Marcio C. Santos
We consider the multi-item inventory lot-sizing problem with supplier selection. The problem consists of determining an optimal purchasing plan in order to satisfy dynamic determin…
