Integrated Supply Chain Optimization Models

통합 공급사슬 최적화 모델에 관한 연구

In this research report, we consider multi stage supply chain optimization modeling techniques, and propose a new integrated model. The stages that are normally associated with a supply chain include procurement, production and distribution. In general, there are two distinct set of approaches which manage whole supply chain. One approach is the plant decision and subsequently distribution and inventory decision while the second approach is to address all decisions simultaneously through the integrated model. First, we present a survey of existing models that are treated by independently. And then, we propose an integrated model that is in a moderate size and easy to implement in practice. Finally, we address possible solution methodologies and present some computational test results using CPLEX to see the computational burden from which new algorithmic insight might be come up.
