Abstract

3D printing technology is fundamentally transforming how companies are run and managed today. This work analyzes the problem of integrated production and transportation of automotive spare parts in the context of 3D printing. We consider two sets of customers – scheduled and breakdown maintenance – serviced by the same resource but with distinct delivery modes. We propose a mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for optimally solving small problem instances. We develop an exact approach based on column generation (CG) for large cases by reformulating the MIP model as a set-covering problem through Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition. We design and deploy two acceleration strategies for the quicker convergence of the CG approach. Through extensive computational experiments, we establish the superiority and suitability of the proposed solution methodology for solving real-life problems at terse computational times.
