Abstract

We investigate a supply chain scheduling problem involving a single manufacturer and multiple customers. Our aim is to integrate the production and shipping functions of a manufacturer for the objective of minimising the total cost consisting of: 1) the penalty of late deliveries computed based on the weighted number of tardy orders; 2) the shipping of orders to customers. Since this problem is NP-hard, besides an optimum-seeking algorithm, we also develop a fast heuristic both of which exploit the structural properties of the problem. The results of our computational investigation reveal the efficacy of our approaches and a significant benefit that accrues from integrating the production and distribution functions.
