(2022) Multi-objective inventory optimization problem for a sustainable food supply network under lateral inventory share policy. IFAC-PapersOnLine, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2022, pp. 1822-18272405-8963https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ifacol.2022.09.663https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/18830This study dives deep into a lateral supply chain network for perishable food products and aims to determine optimal re-order and order up to levels for multiple e-groceries within a common network using a simulation-based optimization technique. The algorithm aims to minimize the average inventory carried within the network while accounting for parameters like reduced wastage, improved customer satisfaction level, and a limited number of replenishments.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Lateral inventory sharesinventoryfood supply chainheuristic optimizationArticle
