Abstract EN
Nowadays, in order to achieve advantages in supply chain management, how to keep inventory in adequate level and how to enhance customer service level are two critical practices for decision makers.
Generally, uncertain lead time and defective products have much to do with inventory and service level.
Therefore, this study mainly aims at developing a multiechelon integrated just-in-time inventory model with uncertain lead time and imperfect quality to enhance the benefits of the logistics model.
In addition, the Ant Colony Algorithm (ACA) is established to determine the optimal solutions.
Moreover, based on our proposed model and analysis, the ACA is more efficient than Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Lingo in SMEIJI model.
An example is provided in this study to illustrate how production run and defective rate have an effect on system costs.
Finally, the results of our research could provide some managerial insights which support decision makers in real-world operations.
