An Approach to Describe the Multi-Commodity Transportation Problem by Presenting Mathematical Model

Optimizing transportation and inventory management in multi-commodity distribution systems

Abstract

The problem of finding distribution centres is a standout amongst the most significant issues in structure of supply chain. The structure of the distribution system is a significant issue for pretty much every organization. Wide scope of problems emerging in useful applications can be figured as Mixed-integer nonlinear Models. Multi-commodity distribution system configuration is a speculation of an office area problem where we have a few commodities, and shipment from a plant to client happens through a distribution center. This paper exhibits a mathematical model for two-stage arranging of transportation and inventory for some sorts of items (multi-commodity). The created model is adaptable for modifying of the following stage's shipping plan as per the pragmatic conditions around then. It is likewise demonstrated that numerous variables can be decreased by utilization of the balanced unit shipping cost.
