The inventory control decisions are always ignored in location-routing problem (LRP). It may result in total system cost will increase further. In this paper, a stochastic model for the integrated location-routing-inventory problem (LRIP) in a two-echelon logistics distribution system is proposed. A two-phase heuristic algorithm to find solutions for the model is also proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the validity of the model and algorithm.
