摘要
In contrast to traditional supply chain networks, Physical Internet (PI) is an interconnected open global logistics network based on open PI hubs and standard PI-containers that has the potential to achieve ground-breaking improvements in integrated production-inventory-distribution management. In this paper, to quantify the advantages of PI from a cost performance perspective, we propose a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation for addressing the problem that combines an integrated production-inventory-distribution decision with PI, which has been addressed separately in the existing literature. The results of computational experiments show that while achieving a comparable or better service level, PI can achieve significant cost savings compared to a traditional supply chain network with a dynamic configuration and a hybrid configuration. Moreover, we investigate the impact of several problem parameter changes on the total costs under each network setting, and managerial insights are derived.
