Skip Ship Routing & Scheduling (pp. 212-214)

• Service Selection

• Shortest Path

• Transportation Problem

• Vehicle Routing & Scheduling

– One route: TSP

– Multiple routes: VRP

• Consolidation

Service Selection (Mode Selection)

• Most important factors:– Dependability (on-time delivery).

– Cost.

– Safety.

– Tracking.

• Different modes have different costs and characteristics.

• Lowest transportation cost is not always best.

Service Selection Tradeoff

• Transportation Cost vs. Inventory Cost.

• Shorter transit time: Higher transportation cost.

Fewer days held Lower inventory cost.

• Usually, Shorter transit time Smaller vehicles. More frequent trips Higher transportation cost.

Fewer units held Lower inventory cost .

Service Selection for Competing Suppliers

One buyer purchases 1000 cwt from each of two competing suppliers: A and B. Both use rail transport, but could use truck transport. Supplier profit = $20/cwt - transport cost.

Transport Cost Delivery TimeRail $2/cwt 6 daysTruck $5/cwt 3 days

Buyer offers to switch 100 cwt to supplier A from B for each day decrease in delivery time. For supplier A:

Sales ProfitRail (current) 1000 cwt 1000 cwt ($20/cwt - $2/cwt) = $18,000

Truck 1300 cwt 1300 cwt ($20/cwt - $5/cwt) = $19,500

Service Selection for Competing Suppliers

What if supplier B also switches to truck?

Buyer should give each equal business:

Sales ProfitSupplier A 1000 cwt 1000 cwt ($20/cwt - $5/cwt) = $15,000

Supplier B 1000 cwt 1000 cwt ($20/cwt - $5/cwt) = $15,000

So both suppliers are worse off than before! ($15,000 profit vs. $18,000 using rail)

Shortest Path Model

• Network includes:– Nodes: cities, customers, demand points

– Arcs or Links: Transportation links

– Number for each link to represent travel cost, time or distance.

Shortest Path Problem

• Given:– A network with a specified origin and destination.– The distance (or travel time or cost) for each link.

• Determine the shortest path from the origin to the destination.

• Solution: Labeling algorithm (one of many)– Nodes are labeled as "solved" or "unsolved". – Solved = shortest path from the origin to that node is

known.

Shortest Path Labeling Algorithm

1. The origin is a solved node. All others are unsolved.

2. For each solved node, find the one unsolved node that is nearest and calculate the minimum total distance (origin to solved node + solved node to nearest unsolved node).

3. Make the unsolved node with the smallest total distance a solved node.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the destination is a solved node.

5. Trace the shortest path.

Transportation Problem

• Given:– m origins (sources for product flows). – n destinations (sinks for product flows).– Supply at each origin.– Demand at each destination.– Shipping cost per unit of product from each origin to

each destination.

• Determine the minimum total cost shipping pattern to satisfy demand. – We will solve using TRANLP module of LogWare.

Total allocated = 2,000 Slack required = 2,000Total cost = 5,200.00

slack capacity=0 means all is sent from every source

Total allocated = Slack required means each destination receives what it needs.

Transportation Problem

• In last problem total supply = total demand.– Each origin sends all it has.– Each destination receives all it demands.

• Other possibilities:– Total Supply > Total Demand

• Some origins will keep some of the supply.

– Total Supply < Total Demand

• Some destinations will not receive all they demand.

Total allocated = Slack required means each destination receives what it needs.

Supply > Demand

slack capacity=200 means 200 is left at origin 2
