A multi-objective approach to simultaneous strategic and operational planning in supply chain design

TL;DR: An integrated multi-objective supply chain model is developed for use in simultaneous strategic and operational SC planning and will aid in the design of efficient, effective, and flexible supply chain systems and evaluation of competing SC networks.
Abstract: In this research, an integrated multi-objective supply chain (SC) model is developed for use in simultaneous strategic and operational SC planning. Multi-objective decision analysis is adopted to allow use of a performance measurement system that includes cost, customer service levels (fill rates), and flexibility (volume or delivery). This measurement system provides more comprehensive measurement of supply chain system performance than do traditional, single-measure approaches. Moreover, this model incorporates production, delivery, and demand uncertainty, and provides a multi-objective performance vector for the entire SC network. The model developed here will aid in the: (1) design of efficient, effective, and flexible supply chain systems and (2) evaluation of competing SC networks.

TL;DR: The results show that the proposed multi-objective optimization model can be applied as an effective tool in the strategic planning for green supply chain and the sensitivity analysis provides some interesting managerial insights for firms.
Abstract: In this paper, we study a supply chain network design problem with environmental concerns. We are interested in the environmental investments decisions in the design phase and propose a multi-objective optimization model that captures the trade-off between the total cost and the environment influence. We conduct a comprehensive set of numerical experiments. The results show that our model can be applied as an effective tool in the strategic planning for green supply chain. Meanwhile, the sensitivity analysis provides some interesting managerial insights for firms.

TL;DR: In this article, an in-depth discussion of the major decisions in production planning, scheduling, and inventory management faced by organizations, both private and public, is presented, as well as the latest systems used to make decisions, including Just-in-Time Manufacturing, KANBAN, Distribution Requirements Planning and PUSH Control.
Abstract: An in-depth discussion of the major decisions in production planning, scheduling, and inventory management faced by organizations, both private and public. Strategic and operational issues are covered, as well as the latest systems used to make decisions, including Just-in-Time Manufacturing, KANBAN, Distribution Requirements Planning, and PUSH Control. A series of cases focusing on one organization complement the text's discussion, and several problem sets are also included. An extensive list of references allows the advanced student to pursue topics of interest in more detail.

TL;DR: What manufacturing managers at Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) see as the needs for model support in managing material flows in their supply chains are described and the initial development of such a model for supply chains that are not under complete centralized control is reported on.
Abstract: A supply chain is a network of facilities that performs the functions of procurement of material, transformation of material to intermediate and finished products, and distribution of finished products to customers. Often, organizational barriers between these facilities exist, and information flows can be restricted such that complete centralized control of material flows in a supply chain may not be feasible or desirable. Consequently, most companies use decentralized control in managing the different facilities at a supply chain. In this paper, we describe what manufacturing managers at Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) see as the needs for model support in managing material flows in their supply chains. These needs motivate our initial development of such a model for supply chains that are not under complete centralized control. We report on our experiences of applying such a model in a new product development project of the DeskJet printer supply chain at HP. Finally, we discuss avenues to develop better ...

TL;DR: The Global Supply Chain Model (GSCM) as mentioned in this paper is a large mixed-integer linear program that incorporates a global, multi-product bill of materials for supply chains with arbitrary echelon structure and a comprehensive model of integrated global manufacturing and distribution decisions.
Abstract: Digital Equipment Corporation evaluates global supply chain alternatives and determines worldwide manufacturing and distribution strategy, using the Global Supply Chain Model (GSCM) which recommends a production, distribution, and vendor network. GSCM minimizes cost or weighted cumulative production and distribution times or both subject to meeting estimated demand and restrictions on local content, offset trade, and joint capacity for multiple products, echelons, and time periods. Cost factors include fixed and variable production charges, inventory charges, distribution expenses via multiple modes, taxes, duties, and duty drawback. GSCM is a large mixed-integer linear program that incorporates a global, multi-product bill of materials for supply chains with arbitrary echelon structure and a comprehensive model of integrated global manufacturing and distribution decisions. The supply chain restructuring has saved over $100 million (US).
