Abstract
In this paper, we present an optimization model for a transportation planning problem with multiple transportation modes, highly perishable products, demand and supply dynamics, and management of the reusable transport units (RTIs). Such a problem arises in the European horticultural chain, for example. As a result of geographic dispersion of production and market, a reliable transportation solutions ensures long-term success in the European market. The model is an extension to the network flow problem. We integrate dynamic allocation, flow, and repositioning of the RTIs in order to find the trade-off between quality requirements and operational considerations and costs. We also present detailed computational results and analysis. The study in this article has been supported by the Dinalog R&D project DaVinc3i with the reference number 2010.2.034R.
