“…which is a special case of pharmaceutical interventions, and we consider all kinds of outbreaks (both expected and unexpected). Lemmens et al (2016) review general models on supply chain network design (SCND) and apply their findings to the vaccine supply chain of the rotavirus vaccine. They primarily consider the distribution phase and, to a lesser extent, the production phase.…”

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent and/or control the outbreak of infectious diseases. This medical intervention also brings about many logistical questions. In the past years, the Operations Research/Operations Management community has shown a growing interest in the logistical aspects of vaccination. However, publications on vaccine logistics often focus on one specific logistical aspect. A broader framework is needed so that open research questions can be identified more easily and contributions are not overlooked. In this literature review, we combine the priorities of the World Health Organization for creating a flexible and robust vaccine supply chain with an Operations Research/Operations Management supply chain perspective. We propose a classification for the literature on vaccine logistics to structure this relatively new field, and identify promising research directions. We classify the literature into the following four components: (1) product, (2) production, (3) allocation, and (4) distribution. Within the supply chain classification, we analyze the decision problems for existing outbreaks versus sudden outbreaks and developing countries versus developed countries. We identify unique characteristics of the vaccine supply chain: high uncertainty in both supply and demand; misalignment of objectives and decentralized decision making between supplier, public health organization and end customer; complex political decisions concerning allocation and the crucial importance of deciding and acting in time.

Joint Optimization of Distribution Network Design and Two-Echelon Inventory Control with Stochastic Demand and CO2 Emission Tax Charges

This study develops an optimization model to integrate facility location and inventory control for a three-level distribution network consisting of a supplier, multiple distribution centers (DCs), and multiple retailers. The integrated model addressed in this study simultaneously determines three types of decisions: (1) facility location (optimal number, location, and size of DCs); (2) allocation (assignment of suppliers to located DCs and retailers to located DCs, and corresponding optimal transport mode choices); and (3) inventory control decisions on order quantities, reorder points, and amount of safety stock at each retailer and opened DC. A mixed-integer programming model is presented, which considers the carbon emission taxes, multiple transport modes, stochastic demand, and replenishment lead time. The goal is to minimize the total cost, which covers the fixed costs of logistics facilities, inventory, transportation, and CO2 emission tax charges. The aforementioned optimal model was solved using commercial software LINGO 11. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the applications of the proposed model. The findings show that carbon emission taxes can significantly affect the supply chain structure, inventory level, and carbon emission reduction levels. The delay rate directly affects the replenishment decision of a retailer.

“…El diseño o rediseño de una cadena de suministro implica un alto grado de complejidad debido a que se trata de una decisión estratégica costosa e irreversible a largo plazo (Lemmens, Decouttere, Vandaele, & Bernuzzi, 2016). Sin embargo, una buena localización de los agentes dentro de la red de distribución permite lograr un mayor nivel de servicio al cliente, a la vez que se reducen costos asociados a distancia y tiempos de operación (Ardalan, Karimi, Naderi, & Khamseh, 2016).…”

En la actualidad, la competencia entre cadenas de suministro ha generado que día a día se busque una mayor eficiencia en el diseño de las redes de distribución, ya que esta es una decisión estratégica a largo plazo, pero que a su vez afecta la planeación táctica y operativa al determinar los flujos de financieros, de producto e información que existen entre los agentes de la cadena. El presente artículo busca diseñar una red de distribución de productos perecederos teniendo en cuenta criterios de sostenibilidad relacionados con la economía, el medio ambiente y la sociedad. Con este fin se desarrolla un modelo de programación lineal entera mixta, el cual se simula para un caso de estudio teórico, logrando identificar que el bosquejo final de la cadena depende de los criterios que se elijan y de la ponderación que los miembros del sistema le otorguen a cada uno de ellos.
