Research topic
Fulfilment and inventory
Where an order ships from, how stock is replenished, and how a fulfilment network holds up under disruption and law.
Each paper states its method, puts its evidence in captioned tables and ends with its limitations.
Papers
Legal constraints and risk penalties inside fulfilment planning: a design
We describe a design that treats trade and legal rules as hard constraints and supply risk as a priced penalty inside routing and network planning.
Event-driven visibility for orders, shipments and stock: a design
We describe a design that turns carrier, warehouse and order events into one state model for shipments and stock, with delay detection and ETA updates.
Periodic, multi-objective fulfilment network design for cross-border commerce: a design
We describe a design that re-evaluates fulfilment node locations and service areas periodically, with cost, delivery time and reliability as objectives.
Adaptive replenishment for multi-node commerce inventory: a design
We describe a replenishment design that recomputes reorder points from probabilistic forecasts across a network of nodes, argued from inventory theory.
Resilience as an explicit objective in fulfilment orchestration under supply disruptions: a design
We propose a design that makes disruption resilience an explicit objective in order routing and stock positioning, argued from the disruption literature.
Orchestrating order assignment and inventory moves across a multi-node fulfilment network: a design
We describe a design for a service that assigns orders to fulfilment nodes and moves stock between them, argued from operations research.
