Optimal outbound dispatch policies: Modeling inventory and cargo capacity

In this paper, we present an optimization model for coordinating inventory and transportation decisions at an outbound distribution warehouse that serves a group of customers located in a given market area. For the practical problems which motivated this paper, the warehouse is operated by a third party logistics provider. However, the models developed here may be applicable in a more general context where outbound distribution is managed by another supply chain member, e.g., a manufacturer. We consider the case where the aggregate demand of the market area is constant and known per period (e.g., per day). Under an immediate delivery policy, an outbound shipment is released each time a demand is realized (e.g., on a daily basis). On the other hand, if these shipments are consolidated over time, then larger (hence more economical) outbound freight quantities can be dispatched. In this case, the physical inventory requirements at the third party warehouse (TPW) are determined by the consolidated freight quantities. Thus, stock replenishment and outbound shipment release policies should be coordinated. By optimizing inventory and freight consolidation decisions simultaneously, we compute the parameters of an integrated inventory/outbound transportation policy. These parameters determine: (i) how often to dispatch a truck so that transportation scale economies are realized and timely delivery requirements are met, and (ii) how often, and in what quantities, the stock should be replenished at the TPW. We prove that the optimal shipment release timing policy is nonstationary, and we present algorithms for computing the policy parameters for both the uncapacitated and finite cargo capacity problems. The model presented in this study is considerably different from the existing inventory/transportation models in the literature. The classical inventory literature assumes that demands should be satisfied as they arrive so that outbound shipment costs are sunk costs, or else these costs are covered by the customer. Hence, the classical literature does not model outbound transportation costs. However, if a freight consolidation policy is in place then the outbound transportation costs can no longer be ignored in optimization. Relying on this observation, this paper models outbound transportation costs, freight consolidation decisions, and cargo capacity constraints explicitly. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于瞬时相位差分特性的数据传输系统丢点检测方法

针对数据传输系统丢点问题,依据连续正弦信号瞬时相位差分特性,探讨了一种自动检测数据传输系统丢点方法。首先在数据传输系统采集前端加入正弦信号;然后将解包好的数据通过希尔伯特变换求取数据瞬时相位,并从前向后进行相位补偿,使数据瞬时相位呈连续递增形式;最后通过相位差分法求得瞬时相位前向差分。由理论分析可知:连续正弦信号未丢点时,当前位置数据相比前一位置数据相位差为2πfc/fs(fc为正弦信号频率,fs为数据传输系统采样率);连续正弦信号丢点时,当前位置数据相比前一位置数据相位差为2πfc(n+1)/fs(n为传输数据丢失点数)。由此特性,可实现对数据传输系统是否丢点实现自动检测。理论分析和实验结果表明,探讨的数据传输系统丢点检测方法可实现对数据传输系统是否丢点实现自动检测,便于工程应用。
