Problem Definition
A material supply system design that serves assembly lines will be designed. Delivery of parts to the stations of an assembly line must occur on a JIT basis: our problem is called JITVRP. This material supply system called: Milk-run System A single central warehouse Stations of the line have a continuous demand rate (Qi)!
At all times, theres some demand of components to be satisfied.
Problem Definition
Ex: Qi=10 parts/hr If service period=2 hrs, Delivery to stat-i=20 parts at each cycle. If period=4 hrs, delivery to stat-i=40 parts So as period increases, delivery quantities increase! But, vehicle capacity is limited. Therefore, service period affects route construction!
Deliveries
10 5 7 5 3 20 Deliveries 15 7.5 10.5 7.5 4.5 30

Objective of RCA
Construct routes & determine service period, such that total material handling & inventory holding cost is minimized!
Constraints
Trip time of a route= Loading unloading times spent in the stations + material transportation times Trip time of a route<= ServicePeriod Service period cannot be smaller than a min value that the supplier can satisfy! Line side buffer area restrictions limit service periods: Periods cannot be too large!
Constructed Routes
Stations 1-13 : First route.
The total of the delivery quantities to these stations does not violate the milk-run vehicle capacity, and there is no buffer space violation.
Moreover, since the panel parts are fragile, the pallets of these are wished to be pulled by the tow truck privately, and could not be appended to the milk-run trailers.
