Transportation costs are becoming increasingly important in inventory replenishment decisions and, in practice, lot … sizing decisions are strongly affected by material handling equipment, transportation flow paths, vehicle capacities and … technical constraints. Companies within a global sourcing context daily experience the cost of transportation as playing a major …

approach in reducing CO2 emissions. Even if the attention is focused on the emissions, the transportation costs are also …

We numerically examine the impacts of free shipping, quantity discount, transportation cost, and demand variance on …, and the end customers. An increase in transportation cost or a decrease in purchase price will induce the retailer to …

The decision variables are the opening of distribution centers from a discrete set, the selection of … the transportation channels, and the flow between facilities.
