The problem has two objectives: minimization of good's delivery time and inventory cost. Because the problem belongs to NP-Hard category, we develop a proper simulated annealing algorithm (SA) for solve the proposed methodology in large scaled problem. For verify the performance and efficiency of the methodology is shown via a numerical example. The obtained results imply the efficiency of proposed methodology and the ability of developed simulated annealing algorithms for achieve to near optimal solution.}, keywords = {Inventory management,Simulated Annealing,Supply Chain Management}, url = {https://aie.ut.ac.ir/article_20438.html}, eprint = {https://aie.ut.ac.ir/article_20438_d4d71a84b5989401d9a28e170763067b.pdf} }
