AB  - Applies the concept of buyer‐seller relationship to long‐term
planning of wholesaling operations. Current practices indicate that this
kind of relational exchange reduces overall costs more than the
traditional market exchange. Aims to help to operationalize this
partnership by selecting a stable set of manufacturers and warehouses
for an entire planning period. Develops a multi‐period optimization
model incorporating constraints necessary for such stable solutions.
This model requires a large number of variables and constraints, and is
computationally challenging for most practical‐sized problems. Therefore
proposes heuristic method to decompose the model into subproblems by
partitioning the planning period into blocks of years and then
synthesize the subproblem solutions. Such decomposition may also be
useful to solve large dynamic location planning problems.
