Abstract

Prior studies on integrating production and distribution optimisation highlight the benefits of such an approach. However, no studies regarding standardised metrics for categorising shelf life lengths in different scenarios were found. Moreover, the current literature does not address the change of behaviour on solving strategies accordingly to different shelf life profiles. To address these gaps, this research proposes the normalised shelf life metric to classify long and short shelf life products. Additionally, we present a simplified optimisation formulation for the integrated production scheduling and vehicle routing problem. By evaluating three solution methods (MILP model, genetic algorithm, and logic-based Benders decomposition model), our findings reveal that shelf life significantly affects solution performance. These results emphasise the need for research focused on solution methods tailored specifically for short shelf life products. [Received: 26 July 2022; Accepted: 7 June 2023]
