OPTIMAL PRODUCTION ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORKS

摘要: Abstract Enterprise optimisation can rapidly strip significant “bottom line” costs out of global operations, giving companies a real competitive edge. The benefits managing supply chain networks by integrating operational, design and financial decisions have been acknowledged the industrial academic community. objective this work is to determine optimal configuration production distribution network subject operational constraints. Operational constraints include quality, restrictions, are related allocation work-load balance. Financial costs, transportation duties for material flowing within exchange rates. As business decision out-sourcing considered whenever organisation cannot satisfy demand. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model proposed describe problem. case study coatings unit specialty chemicals manufacturer used demonstrate applicability approach in number scenarios.
