Modeling the logistics design of a multi-commodity industry

Abstract:

This paper presents two different mathematical formulations for the Supply Chain Network Design of a company responsible for producing and distributing multi-commodity products. Investments in a new manufacturing plant required the readjustment of the company's logistics project, with a necessary re-structuring of the raw materials and finished product flows and the possibility of opening new distribution centers (DCs). The supply chain was modeled using a formulation in mixed linear integer programming, in which the facilities are represented by nodes and the links by the arcs. The computer implementations were performed using OPL and results obtained by CPLEX
