Modelling the coordinated supply chain network

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...
