| 總結: | A supply chain is a network of suppliers, manufactures, distributors and retailers that deliver
finished products to the end customers. The configuration of the manufacturing and
distribution facilities, and selection of distribution channels are typical strategic supply chain
decisions. In this paper we consider the problem of reconfiguring the supply chain network to
significantly improve customer service levels and reduce system wide cost. For this purpose
we develop a mathematical model that can help in the integrated design of strategic supply
chain networks and the determination of tactical production-inventory decisions. In this
model, inventory and production cycles are assumed synchronised across the entire supply
chain. Then we describe an optimal solution procedure for solving the model and present a
numerical example for illustrating the model. The numerical results show that the network
configuration under integer multipliers coordination mechanism will result in lower total cost |
