Abstract

The present article presents an overview of optimisation models and techniques that integrate transportation with inventory decisions into the procurement process. The integration and optimisation of these processes increase supply chain performance. The selected articles are classified according to the following criteria: procurement policy, transport decisions, model formulation, solution procedure. Current trends and future research are discussed.
