“…A comparison between the results obtained in the IRPTW case and the VRP with time windows (VRPTW) was made by the researchers which showed that when the solution of the total distribution cost over the whole-time horizon generated higher costs than the IRPTW. Amri-Sakhri et al treated the case of a deterministic replenishment demand in a distribution network consisting of a supplier and a set of customers to be served by a single vehicle over the planning horizon [39]. They used the model as the basis for building their models [6].…”

The most important challenge of a supply chain is the control of its logistics costs. The managers who drive the various logistics flows tend to reduce its overall costs in order to achieve overall profits. Among the problems that help them achieve their goals is the inventory routing problem (IRP). In its classical definition, IRP is an integration tool that can provide a joint answer to inventory management and vehicle routing problems. In this review article, we present an overview of supply chain management with a focus on the inventory routing domain. We will start by introducing the concept of IRP and the various works done in this area since its emergence that have contributed to its development. Then, we will discuss recent research and take the most studied model to expose its impact on the development of this research area until today. This paper shows that despite the age of this tool, this field of research has maintained its importance and continues to evolve and produce considerable research articles.

In a supply chain, inventory is the single largest source of costs for a company. This is due to the various physical and informational activities that accompany inventory management, primarily the holding and transportation of inventory. Companies are looking to streamline these activities and minimize the associated costs. One of the most coveted models for jointly solving these two problems is the Inventory Routing Problem (IRP), which will be the focus of this study. This paper deals with the case of a deterministic replenishment demand in a distribution network consisting of a supplier and a number of customers to be served by a single vehicle over a finite planning horizon. We study the impact of increasing supplier delivery times on the network costs. A mathematical model is developed and solved by an exact method. The results obtained will be analyzed and solutions will be suggested.
