Abstract
Associated with a strategic optimization of logistics network design to improve supply chain efficiency, we proposed a method termed hybrid tabu search, and applied it to various real-life problems through imposing additionally practical conditions on the basic model according to situations. Since multi-commodity delivery is popular in practice, we can make a more reliable and operational decision by simultaneously taking into accounts dynamic circumstances. In this study, therefore, we have extended the previous method to cope with this aspect that has scarcely considered so far, i.e., dynamic integrated capacitated multi-commodity. Numerical experiments revealed the role of inventory management over planning horizon and the validity of the proposed method through comparison with the results from commercial software.
