Description:
This paper deals with the problem of determination of installation base-stock levels in a serial supply chain. The problem is treated first as a single-objective inventory-cost optimization problem, and subsequently as a multi-objective optimization problem by considering two cost components, namely, holding costs and shortage costs. Variants of genetic algorithms are proposed to determine the best base-stock levels in the single-objective case. All variants, especially random-key gene-wise genetic algorithm (RKGGA), show an excellent performance, in terms of convergence to the best base-stock levels across a variety of supply chain settings, with minimum computational effort. Heuristics to obtain base-stock levels are proposed, and heuristic solutions are introduced in the initial population of the RKGGA to expedite the convergence of the genetic search process. To deal with the multi-objective supply-chain inventory optimization problem, a simple multi-objective genetic algorithm is proposed to obtain a set of non-dominated solutions.
