Returnable Transport Items Management: A New Approach to Sidestep Shortage

Résumé

This study deals with a two-stage closed-loop supply chain where returnable transport items (RTIs) are used to protect and ship products from a supplier to a set of customers. Simultaneously, loaded RTIs are delivered and empty RTIs are picked-up from customers to be returned to the supplier. We develop a new RTIs management approach in which a tracking system like RFID is used to give accurate information about position and inventory levels of RTIs at each customer location. The idea is to systematically launch additional pickup visits to sidestep causes that may lead to a stockout of empty RTIs necessary for the next productions and as an alternative to other approaches consisting of the rent and/ or supply of new RTIs. We develop a mixed integer linear program for this specific pickup and delivery inventory routing problem. Numerical results are presented, and promising insights are highlighted.
