Abstract: |
We consider a problem in
which a supplier must determine the transportation mode for product
deliveries to satisfy demand from a set of retailers. Based on combinations
of four possible transportation modes, we consider seven different
distribution policies on set of instances derived from data from an Italian
company. For three demand scenarios (low, moderate, high), we compare the
performance of the various distribution policies. Based on demand
characteristics, we characterize the optimal distribution policies. We
demonstrate the increase in cost resulting from restricting mode choice to a
subset of the possibilities. |
