Abstract EN

Facility location, inventory control, and vehicle routes scheduling are three key issues to be settled in the design of logistics system for e-commerce.

Due to the online shopping features of e-commerce, customer returns are becoming much more than traditional commerce.

This paper studies a three-phase supply chain distribution system consisting of one supplier, a set of retailers, and a single type of product with continuous review (Q, r) inventory policy.

We formulate a stochastic location-inventory-routing problem (LIRP) model with no quality defects returns.

To solve the NP-hand problem, a pseudo-parallel genetic algorithm integrating simulated annealing (PPGASA) is proposed.

The computational results show that PPGASA outperforms GA on optimal solution, computing time, and computing stability.
