MOTI Models Production Distribution Perishable

项目摘要

9634750 Daskin This research involves the development of integrated models of production and distribution for perishable products. Determining inventory levels and delivery schedules for products that deteriorate physically (such as fresh foods and certain blood products) or whose economic value decays rapidly (such as newspapers) present a number of problems for decision makers. The investigators will develop and analyze models that address the timing and reliability of product distribution, location of product distribution centers, trade-offs between large production facilities where economies of scales may be gained and multiple plants that may be closer to customers, and routing product from distribution centers under time-window constraints. These models will include uncertainty in both supply and demand of product. The investigators will work closely with a large blood products supplier to ensure relevancy to industry needs. In many industries, the economic value of goods is substantially reduced if their production and distribution is not timely and reliable. Moreover, the production and distribution systems must be integrated in order to be most effective. This research should lead to better tactical and operational models in highly competitive industries, and ultimately to better decisions regarding trade-offs between investments, operations, and customer service.

9634750 Daskin这项研究涉及开发易腐烂产品的综合生产和分销模型。确定库存水平和交付时间表的身体状况恶化（例如新鲜食品和某些血液产品），或者其经济价值迅速衰减（例如报纸）为决策者带来了许多问题。调查人员将开发和分析模型，以解决产品分销的时机和可靠性，产品配送中心的位置，可能获得规模经济经济的大型生产设施之间的权衡以及可能更接近客户的多个工厂以及路由产品从分配中心受到时间限制的约束。这些模型将包括产品的供需中的不确定性。研究人员将与大型血液产品供应商紧密合作，以确保与行业需求相关。在许多行业中，如果商品的生产和分销不是及时和可靠的，商品的经济价值将大大降低。此外，必须集成生产和分销系统才能最有效。这项研究应导致在竞争激烈的行业中更好的战术和运营模型，并最终更好地决定有关投资，运营和客户服务之间权衡的决定。
