An extended robust approach for a cooperative inventory routing problem

作者:

Highlights:

• Using geographical location in distance matrixes cause extra optimization process.

• The result of solved mixed integer programing is the input for metaheuristics.

• Ant colony algorithm is selected metaheuristic for applying in promotion stage.

• Horizontal collaboration of suppliers would lead to cost saving for these agents.

• Shapley value and tau value are reliable payoff sharing technique for the problem.
