Location-allocation problem as one of the strategic decisions in supply chain management has become the focus of research attention. In this paper we design a distribution network by modelling for location-allocation in a supply chain that involves a fixed plant, distribution centres with multiple levels of capacities and retailers. The aim is to select the optimum numbers, locations, capacities of...
This research presents an integrated multi-objective distribution model for use in simultaneous strategic and operational food supply chain (SC) planning. The proposed method is adopted to allow use of a performance measurement system that includes conflicting objectives such as distribution costs, customer service level (safety stock holding), resource utilisation, and the total delivery time, with...
Distribution network design is the most important strategic issue in supply chain management. In all the studies carried out in this area, materials always move from one level to the next, while in the flexible distribution system, materials flow between facilities in the same level (lateral transshipment). The purpose of this study is to consider the impact of lateral transshipment issues into location,...
Dynamic environment imposes such conditions that make it necessary for companies to consider sources of uncertainty in designing core business processes and optimizing supply chain operations. Efficient management of a supply system requires an integrated approach towards various operational functions and related source of uncertainties. Uncertain conditions in supply network design problem such as...
