Title: | Coordinating production and distribution of jobs with bundling operations | Authors: | Li, CL Vairaktarakis, G |
Issue Date: | Feb-2007 | Source: | IIE transactions, Feb. 2007, v. 39, no. 2, p. 203-215 | Abstract: | We consider an integrated scheduling and distribution model in which jobs completed by two different machines must be bundled together for delivery. The objective is to minimize the sum of the delivery cost and customers' waiting costs. Such a model not only attempts to coordinate the job schedules on both machines, but also aims to coordinate the machine schedules with the delivery plan. Polynomial-time heuristics and approximation schemes are developed for the model with only direct shipments as well as the general model with milk-run deliveries. | Keywords: | Scheduling Distribution Bundling operations Coordination Polynomial-time approximation schemes |
