Abstract
The impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on inventory management in the fertilizer supply chain is an important part of inventory management in the region and has been an important idea for the overall benefit of the industrial situation. It consists of several steps through which the material goes through different stages to reach the end customer. The effects of the Covid-19 epidemic on the management of the three-fertilizer supply chain inventory include fertilizer production sites, fertilizer distribution center, and costly fertilizer representative. A coordinated approach between rates is needed to adjust the chain for lower stocks and lower costs, and thus higher profits. This paper discusses the effect of coordinating the three-step Covid-19 epidemic on inventory management in a single fertilizer distribution chain that provides one type of product to distribution centers for individual fertilizers and then for each fertilizer representative the Covid-19 on the inventory management in the fertilizer distribution chain is solved by using the problem of a traveling salesman to add an ant colony to better values of decision-making variables and targeting functions. A numerical model is provided and the results obtained here are compared with these methods.
