3 Cycle Lot-size caused by periodic activities Trade-off : transportation fixed cost -> LND Cycle inventory when the speed of demand is not constant Trade-off: ordering fixed cost -> Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ) Trade-off: fixed cost ->Lot-sizing, multi-period LND Level demand Level Cycle Safety for the demand variability Classification of Cycle Lot-size Seasonal Trade-off: customer service level ->Safety Stock Allocation, LND Trade-off: backorder (stock-out) cost -> Policy Optimization Safety In-transit (Pipeline) 15 It s hard to separate them but They should be determined separately to optimize the trade-offs 16 Logistics Network Design Decision support in the strategic level Total optimization of overall supply chains Example Where should we replenish parts? In which plant or on which production line should we produce products? Where and by which transportation-mode should we transport products? Where should we construct (or close) plants or new distribution centers? 17 Trade-off in LND Model: Number of Warehouses v.s. Number 輸 送 of 中 在 warehouses 庫 費 用 Service lead time cost Overhead cost Outbound 輸 送 費 用 transportation cost Inbound transportation cost 18 3

Transportation cost In-transit 輸 送 中 inventory 在 庫 費 用 cost Transportation 輸 送 費 用 cost Multi-period Logistics Network Design Decision support in the tactical level An extension of MPS (Master Production System) for production to the Supply Chain Treat the seasonal demand explicitly Demand 19 Period (Month) 20 Trade-off: Overtime v.s. Seasonal Cost Demand Resource Upper Bound Overtime 資 源 超 過 penalty ペナルティSeasonal 作 り 置 き inventory 在 庫 費 用 ( 残 業 費 ) Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) + Concave Cost Minimization BOM or orrecipe Recipie 3 Safety Inv.

5 Basic Principle of Economy of scale in statistics: gathering inventory together reduces the total inventory volume. -> Modern supply chain strategies risk pooling delayed differentiation design for logistics Where should we allocate safety stocks to minimize the total safety stock costs so that the customer service level is satisfied. 25 Lead-time and Safety Stock Normal distribution with average demand μ, standard deviation σ Service level (the probability of no stocking out) 95%->safety stock ratio 1.65 Lead-time (the time between order and arrival) L Max Inv. Volume= μ L +Safety Stock Ratio σ L 26 The Relation between Lead-time and (Average, Safety, Maximum) Average Max. Safety Guaranteed Lead-time Guaranteed lead-time (LT):Each facility guarantees to deliver the item to his customer within the guaranteed lead- time Safety inv. =2 days Guaranteed LT to downstream facility L i =2 days Lead-time 27 Guaranteed LT of upstream facility =1 day = Entering LT LI i Production time T i =3 Facility i 28 Net Replenishment Net replenishment time (NRT): =LT i +T i -L i Guaranteed LT of upstream facility =1 day = Entering LT LI i Safety inv. =2 days 2 1 Production time T i =3 Facility i Guaranteed LT to downstream facility L i =2 days 2 29 Example: Serial Multi Stage Model Average demand=100 units/day Standard deviation of demand=100 Normal distribution (truncated), Safety stock ratio=1 Guaranteed lead-times of all stocking points =0 Customer Pars Maker Plant Wholesaler Retailer Production time 3 days 2 days 1day 1day cost per unit 10$ 20$ 30 $ 40 $ Safety inv. cost 1732 $ 2828 $ 3000 $ 4000 $ Total $ 30 5

6 Optimal Solution Further Improvement Guaranteed LT=3 Entering LT=2 Safety stock=2+1-3=0 day Safety stock cost is decreased from 9732$ to 6928$ by increasing the guaranteed lead time to the customer from 0 to 1. Production time push pull 3 days 2 days 1 day 1 day Guaranteed LT 0 day 2 days 3 days 0 day Safety inv. cost 1732 $ 0 $ 0 $ 8000$ Total 9732$ (16% down) 31 push pull Production time 3 days 2 days 1 day 1 day Guaranteed LT 0 day 2 days 0 day 1 day Safety inv. cost 1732 $ 0 $ 5196 $ 0$ Total 6928$ (40 % down) 32 Serial Multi Stage Safety Stock Allocation Dynamic Programming Safety Stock Allocation Formulation maximum demand maximum demand net replenishment time net replenishment time minimum cost from facility n to stage i when the guaranteed LT of facility i is L i : initial condition 33 upper bound of guaranteed LT 34 Algorithms for Safety Stock Allocation Dynamic programming (DP) for tree networks Concave cost minimization using piece- wise linear approximation Metaheuristics: Local Search (LS), Iterated LS, Tabu Search 35 A Real Example: Ref.

Classical Newsboy Model Classical Economic Ordering Quantity Model level d Optimal Ordering Quantify Minimize f(t) Q positive So f(t) is convex. By solving f =0, we get: Cycle (T days) Cost over T days = f(t) = Cost per day = 39 EOQ (Harris ) formula 40 Newsboy Model Expected Value of Total Cost inventory cost lost sales cost demand of newspaper (random variable) Expected cost when the ordering quantity is s : Distribution function of the demand Density function

(Q,R) policy:if the inventory position is below a re-ordering point R, order a fixed quantity Q (s,s) policy:if the inventory position is below a re-ordering point s, order the amount so that it becomes an order-up-to level S R+Q (=S) (Q,R) Policy and (s,s) Policy position (Q,R) (s,s) Lot-size Optimization Decision support in the tactical level Optimize the trade-off between set-up cost and lot-size inventory R (=s) Lot-size 段 取 り 費 Inv. 用 Setup 在 庫 費 Cost 用 In-hand inventory Lead time
