Abstract
The optimization of delivery plan is a critical issue, especially for multiple perishable
products in any profitable organization. This paper develops a model for the efficient
implementation of supply chain systems for multiple perishable products. The mathematical
model developed maximizes the profit while taking into consideration shelf life and the cost of
transportation. The price or value of products is affected by its remaining shelf-life. An optimal
delivery plan is developed based on shelf-life, time to transport the perishable products within
the network reaching to retailer, while including the minimization of transportation cost in the
model. In addition, the optimal delivery plan identifies the right quantity of each type of
perishable products to be delivered. In this research, a mathematical model is utilized for solving
the multi-objective mathematical problem, which includes revenue maximization, and
minimization of transportation models to perform an optimal delivery plan. This paper’s central
aim is to maximize the gross profit while identifying the best delivery method for multiple
perishable products.
