摘要

随着闭环供应链作为减少浪费和生态足迹的关键推动者在许多行业中变得越来越重要，在整合正向和反向物流流方面出现了新的挑战。我们专注于生产路线问题的一个变体，并探索供应商管理库存（VMI）政策对可退货运输物品的逆向物流操作的好处。提出了一种考虑回流相当大的不确定性的随机两阶段程序，并使用样本平均近似和基于松弛的边界进行求解。我们发现VMI的好处不仅与更低的运营成本有关，还与更高的性能稳定性有关。此外，在部分VMI和非VMI节点的混合网络中，VMI实施节点的战略选择可以对网络性能产生积极影响。

Benefits of vendor-managed inventory for the reverse logistics operations of returnable transport items

As closed-loop supply chains are gaining importance in many industries as key enablers of reduced waste and ecological footprint, new challenges arise in integrating forward and reverse logistic flows. We focus on a variant of the production routing problem and explore the benefits of vendor-managed inventory (VMI) policies for the reverse logistics operations of returnable transport items. A stochastic two-stage program accounting for the considerable uncertainty of return flows is developed and solved using sample average approximation and relaxation-based bounds. We find that the benefits of VMI are not only linked to lower operational costs but also higher performance stability. Further, in hybrid networks of partially VMI and non-VMI nodes, the strategic selection of nodes for VMI implementation can positively impact network performance.
