ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we propose a supply chain that considers multiple depots, multiple vehicles, multiple products, and multiple customers, with multi-time periods. The supplier receives the order and forwards it to depots of multiple products. The depots investigate the capacity level and accept/refuse supplying the order. Considering the location of the customers, the depots decide upon sending the suitable vehicles. Each vehicle has its specific traveling time and cost. We present a mathematical model for the allocation of orders to depots and vehicles minimizing the total cost.
