An analysis of multi-item inventory model using particle swarm optimization under discrete delivery orders and limited storage space

Abstract

This study explores an economic production quantity (EPQ) model designed with the assumptions of discrete delivery orders and storage capacity constraints for a multi-item production inventory system. The main purpose of this study is to determine the optimal order quantity, the optimal number of deliveries and the optimal delivery quantity. First, the developed model as part of this study is analyzed using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Numerical analysis results are compared with those of previous studies and it was found that it is possible to have better results with an increasing number of iteration. The same model is then analyzed using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. A comparison of the optimization methods showed that PSO gives better results over the GA under the same number of iterations and using the same population. The effects of important model parameters such as number of iterations, population, crossover, mutation rate on the optimal solution are analyzed. The results showed that PSO performs better than the GA with respect to the total cost and the total runtime as the solution of the problem in question.

Pengembangan Model EPQ dengan Variasi Biaya Setup dan Biaya Penyimpanan serta Pengiriman Diskrit

“…Sebelumnya telah dilakukan beberapa penelitian yang berhubungan dengan permasalahan ini. Penelitian dengan mempertimbangkan pengiriman pesanan secara diskrit dengan pembatas ruang penyimpanan telah dilakukan (Pasandideh & Niaki, 2008;Hossein et al, 2017;Ozturk & Senel, 2019;Nasution, 2020). telah mengembangkan model inventori dengan pemenuhan backlogging parsial yang mempertimbangkan penyusutan produk oleh waktu.…”
