A column generation-based algorithm for solving combined inventory and routing problems

This paper presents a column generation algorithm for solving combined vehicle and inventory problems. This problem is based on the idea of coordinating customer inventory levels through a minimum routing cost. This is a combinatory decision problem since vehicle routing and inventory problems, are...

description This paper presents a column generation algorithm for solving combined vehicle and inventory problems.
