RFID technology investment evaluation model for the stochastic joint replenishment and delivery problem

作者：

Highlights：

• Propose a practical RFID investment based stochastic joint replenishment and delivery model firstly.

• Design an effective differential evolutionary (DE) algorithm to find the best cycle time of each item, cycle time and delivery route, simultaneously.

• The advantage of RFID-based JRD was verified by comparing with the JRD model without RFID technology.

• Experiment results show great benefits can be obtained with the proper RFID investment scale.
