Abstract
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is a coordination paradigm in the integrated management of the supply-chain that tries to optimize simultaneously inventory and routing. In this system, the decisions about timing and level of customer’s replenishment are determined by the supplier that is supposed to have the complete knowledge about the customers’ need, in order to avoid stock-outs. In this work, a matheuristic approach is applied to a logistic network in the supermarket distribution industry. The system comprises a distribution centre and several retails located in Eastern Asia. A detailed analysis of the context and some computational results are presented.
