134704-5656IJBAS-IJENS @ August I J E N S AbstractThe present work deals with supply chain optimization and facility selection problem. The supply chain consisting single vendor and buyer with deterministic demand function is considered. Coordination mechanism among the member of supply chain is significant to obtain the optimum state for the whole system. The coordination mechanism has been considered to obtain the optimal location for buyer’s warehouses. In this work, (1) Buyer’s Mixed Integer Problem (MIP) model, (2) Vendor’s Integer Problem (IP) model, and finally (3) Coordinated MIP model have been formulated. Numerical examples presented in this research, which include the sensitivity of the key parameters to illustrate the models. Results show that the individual profit as well as joint profit could be increased by coordination mechanism. Buyer’s selling price with consumers purchasing price could be decreased which may increase the demand of the end market. By coordination...

This paper concerns a dynamic multi-commodity capacitated facility location problem in supply chain, where different products flow throughout different layers of supply chain over a time horizon to meet customers' demand. The capacity and the location of facilities need to be changed for supply chain to operate efficiently and respond quickly to demand changes. Relocating facilities or changing the capacity takes significant time and resource and leads to unavailability of facilities or their full capacity. The proposed model considers this unavailability during the relocation of facilities or change of the capacity. Computational results are also provided.
Chapter 2 FACILITY LOCATION IN SUPPLY CHAIN DESIGN
2004
In this chapter we outline the importance of facility location decisions in supply chain design. We begin with a review of classical models including the traditional fixed charge facility location problem. We then summarize more recent research aimed at expanding the context of facility location decisions to incorporate additional features of a supply chain including LTL vehicle routing, inventory management, robustness, and reliability.

This paper proposes integrated location, production, and distribution planning for the supply chain network design which focuses on selecting the appropriate locations to build a new plant and distribution center while deciding the production and distribution of the product. We examine a multiechelon supply chain that includes suppliers, plants, and distribution centers and develop a mathematical model that aims at minimizing the total cost of the supply chain. In particular, the mathematical model considers the decision of how many plants and distribution centers to open and where to open them, as well as the allocation in each echelon. The LINGO software is used to solve the model for some problem cases. The study conducts various numerical experiments to illustrate the applicability of the developed model. Results show that, in small and medium size of problem, the optimal solution can be found using this solver. Sensitivity analysis is also conducted and shows that customer dema...

This paper studies the design and development of an inventory model for manufacturers with constant production rates considering location and allocation decisions in a three-level supply chain. In this supply chain, the demands of customers and the lead times are assumed to be uncertain. Therefore, each distribution center retains some amount of safety stock to provide suitable service level for customers. The proposed non-linear model aims to minimize location and inventory costs of distribution centers, manufacturers and transportation costs subject to relevant constraints. To solve the model, an efficient imperialist competitive algorithm and a Tabu search algorithm, each using variable neighborhood search, are proposed. The model outputs are decisions such as which distribution centers and manufacturers are opened, the allocation of customers to distribution centers, and distribution centers to manufacturers. Results are also the ordering quantity of each opened distribution center and the production rate of each opened manufacturer. The computational results for several instances of the problem are represented to show the efficiency of proposed algorithm.
Facility location and supply chain management – A review
Facility location decisions play a critical role in the strategic design of supply chain networks. In this paper, a literature review of facility location models in the context of supply chain management is given. We identify basic features that such models must capture to support decision-making involved in strategic supply chain planning. In particular, the integration of location decisions with other decisions relevant to the design of a supply chain network is discussed. Furthermore, aspects related to the structure of the supply chain network, including those specific to reverse logistics, are also addressed. Significant contributions to the current state-of-the-art are surveyed taking into account numerous factors. Supply chain performance measures and optimization techniques are also reviewed. Applications of facility location models to supply chain network design ranging across various industries are presented. Finally, a list of issues requiring further research are highlighted.
A Two Objective Model For Location-allocation In A Supply Chain
Journal of Mathematics and Computer Science, 2012
The fast changing and dynamic global business environment require companies to plan their entire supply chain from the raw material supplier to the end customer. In this paper, we design an integrated supply chain including multiple suppliers, multiple factories, multiple distributors, multiple customers, multiple products, and multiple transportation alternatives. A new multiobjective mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is proposed to deal with this facility locationallocation problem. It considers two conflicting objectives simultaneously, and then the problem is transformed into a multi-objective linear one. The first objective function aims to minimize total losses of the supply chain including raw material purchasing costs, transportation costs and establishment costs of factories and distributions. The second objective function is to minimize the sum deterioration rate of end products and raw materials incurred by transportation alternatives. Finally, the proposed model is solved as a single-objective, mixed-integer, programming model applying the Global Criteria Method. We test their model with numerical example and the results indicate that the proposed model can provide a promising approach to fulfill customer demand and design an efficient supply chain.

The design and management of a multi-stage production-distribution system is one of the most critical problems in logistics and in facility management. Companies need to be able to evaluate and design different configurations for their logistic networks as quickly as possible. This means coordinating the entire supply chain effectively in order to minimize costs and simultaneously optimize facilities location, the allocation of customer demand to production/distribution centers, the inbound and outbound transportation activities, the product flows between production and/or warehousing facilities, the reverse logistics activities, etc.
