An Integrated Inventory and Transportation System Framework
Abstract
New research in supply-chain management recognizes that an integrated plan is required that coordinates different functional specialties within a firm; however, little research has focused on synchronizing inventory and transportation decisions. This paper develops analytical models that integrate inventory and transportation decisions systems in order to simultaneously "optimize" decision variables that have traditionally been studied sequentially or independently. the results offer a framework for a synchronous control policy for an integrated inventory and transportation system under Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).
