Solving a multiperiod inv entory routing problem with stochastic unstationary demand rates

The inventory routing problem (IRP) is one of the most challenging problems in logistics and supply chain management (SCM). It aims to optimise the integration between inventory management and vehicle routing operations in a supply network. IRP arise invol ving the inventory and distribution process...
