IPODS A Planning method for the integrated production and outbound distribution scheduling problem In this research project a planning method for the integrated production and outbound distribution planning problem was developed. Most of the existing planning methods in this research field are production or transport oriented with a low integration level of these two sub-problems. Thus, the overall goal of this project was the development of a conceptual and methodological support for solving the integrated planning problem. The goal of this research proposal was the development of a heuristic integrated planning method for the focused part of the supply chain with a high integration level and an improved performance. To reach this goal, on the one hand an evolutionary algorithm was used to iteratively improve a starting solution throughout several generations in order to balance the production and the transport schedules. On the other hand, a new structuring method for a multi-step decomposition and integration of the overall planning problem was developed. Contact persons: S.
