Optimal planning in large multi-site production networks

چکیده
This contribution describes a general mixed-integer linear programming model based on a time-indexed formulation covering the relevant features required for the complete supply chain management of a multi-site production network. While the actual application is taken from the chemical industry, the model provides a starting point for many applications in the chemical process industry, food or consumer goods industry. In many real world problems certain features just need to be eliminated from this general model in order to describe a current situation. The model combines aspects related to production, distribution and marketing and involves production sites (plants) and sales points. Besides standard features of lot sizing problems (raw materials, production, inventories, demands) further aspects, e.g., dierent time scales attached to production and distribution, the use of periods with dierent lengths, the modeling of batch and campaign production need to be considered. There are also new conceptual aspects in this paper, e.g., how to de®ne the capacity of a multi-site, multi-product production network, or how to approach complex planning problems. We give a complete description of features ready for implementation, and the experience we have with the current implementation in our company. A long-term implication of this contribution might be that it will initiate further research eorts aiming to derive special cuts improving the formulation. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Multi-site production planning in hybrid make-to-stock/make-to-order production environment
Today competitive environment has enforced practitioners and researchers to pay great attention to issues enhancing both production and marketing competitiveness. To do so, it has been obligatory for the firms to consider production side activities while customer requirements are on the other side of competition. In this regard, hybrid make-to-stock (MTS)/make-to-order (MTO) production systems ...
متن کاملOptimal design of cross docking supply chain networks with time-varying uncertain demands
This paper proposes an integrated network design model for a post-distribution cross-docking strategy, comprising multi product production facilities with shared production resources, capacitated cross docks with setup cost and customer zones with time windows constraints. The model is dynamic in terms of time-varying uncertain demands, whereas uncertainty is expressed with scenario approach an...
متن کاملAsymptotic Close to Optimal Resource Allocation in Centralized Multi-band Wireless Networks
This paper concerns sub-channel allocation in multi-user wireless networks with a view to increasing the network throughput. It is assumed there are some sub-channels to be equally divided among active links, such that the total sum rate increases, where it is assumed each link is subject to a maximum transmit power constraint. This problem is found to be a non-convex optimization problem and i...
متن کاملA Stochastic Programming Approach for a Multi-Site Supply Chain Planning in Textile and Apparel Industry under Demand Uncertainty
In this study, a new stochastic model is proposed to deal with a multi-product, multi-period, multi-stage, multi-site production and transportation supply chain planning problem under demand uncertainty. A two-stage stochastic linear programming approach is used to maximize the expected profit. Decisions such as the production amount, the inventory level of finished and semi-finished product, t...
متن کاملA Multi Objective Geometric Programming Model for Optimal Production and Marketing Planning
This paper presents a multi objective geometric programming model which determines the product`s selling price in two markets. We assume demand is a function of price and marketing expenditure in two markets. The cost of production is also assumed to be a function of demands in both markets. Our model is a posynomial function which is solved using Geometric Programming (GP). In our GP implement...

In this research, a bi-objective model is developed to deal with a supply chain including multiple suppliers, multiple manufacturers, and multiple customers, addressing a multi-site, multi-period, multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) problem. This bi-objective model aims to minimize the total cost of supply chain including inventory costs, manufacturing costs, work force costs, hir...
