A hybrid heuristic algorithm for cyclic inventory-routing problem with perishable products in VMI supply chain

作者：

Highlights：

• put forward, solve, and compare three different cyclic IRP for perishable products.

• assume the demand for perishable products is dependent on price and stock.

• propose a hybrid heuristic algorithm and verify its efficiency.

• deal cyclic IRP that includes the cost of manufacturer.

• implement sensitivity analysis to study the impact of parameters on optimal solution.
