Network Optimization Models

Allocating demand to production facilities Locating facilities and allocating capacity

Which plants to establish? How to configure the network?

Key Costs:

• Fixed facility cost• Transportation cost• Production cost• Inventory cost• Coordination cost

5-16


Demand Allocation Model

Which market is served by which plant?

Which supply sources are used by a plant?

xij = Quantity shipped from plant site i to customer j

5-17


Summary of Learning Objectives

What are the factors influencing supply chain network design decisions?

Describe a strategic framework for facility location.

How Network optimization models are used for facility location and capacity

allocation decisions?
