The aim of the model is to decide on the location of cash management centers, the number and routes of vehicles, and the cash inventory management policies to minimize the cost of owning and operating a cash transfer system while maintaining a pre-defined service level. Owing to the difficulty of finding optimal decisions in such integrated models, an iterative solution approach is proposed in which strategic, tactical, and operational problems are solved separately via a feedback mechanism. Numerical results show that such an approach is quite effective in reaching at greatly improved solutions with just a few iterations, making it a very promising approach for similar models. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCash transferInventory managementLocationVehicle routingVRPA hierarchical model for the cash transfer system design problemConference Object93353145N/AWOS:000365946400003Q32-s2.0-8495112338710.1007/978-3-319-24264-4_3
