Abstract
Unlike the majority of existing research, this study develops the production-inventory policy within the supply chain by taking into account the quality changes of food, either as raw materials or as finished goods. To describe the quality degradation of raw material,a kinetic model is applied. Whereas to characterise the perceived value loss of finished goods, a shelf-life based price function is utilised. In addition, to leverage the model performance, a synchronised approach is applied for streamlining the flow of food inventories through a single-vendor multi-buyer (SVMB) supply chain system. Those problems are formulated in a mathematical model using a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) with a combinatorial decision variable. The objective function of this model is to maximise the profit by determining four decision variables, i.e. the length of the production cycle, the number of raw material replenishment, the sequence of the product shipment and the delivery frequencies of finished goods over the production cycle.
