Additional information
This dissertation examines two of the logistical drivers of the supply chain, inventory and transportation, in the context of the inventory routing problem (IRP). The IRP is built upon the connection between inventory management and transportation decisions. It involves determining the optimal routing of vehicles while keeping required inventory levels and satisfying customer demand which helps minimize stockouts and reduce transportation costs. Efficient IRP solutions ensure the timely availability of products to meet customer demand and enable businesses to improve their competitiveness.
