In this paper, we consider coordinated production and interstage batch delivery scheduling problems, where a third-party logistics provider (3PP) delivers semi-finished products in batches from one production location to another production location belonging to the same manufacturer. A batch...

This note suggests faster algorithms for two integrated production/distribution problems studied earlier, improving their complexities from O(n2V + 4) and O(n2(L + V)2) to O(n) and O(n + Vmin {V, n}) respectively, where n is the number of products to be delivered, V is the number of vehicles...
