| dc.description.abstract | Supply chain networks help create an effective context for supply chain management.
Within this network exist suppliers, factories, product distribution centers and
customers. For the supply chain in fashion retail, which plays an important role in
bringing value to consumers, optimizing costs and increasingly demanding efficiency
and speed, and complexity of the network requires high product availability, and quick
response to ever-changing market needs. Therefore, organizations need to have a
holistic view of the entire network. In this paper, the supply chain network
optimization model is presented. The proposed model is used for strategic decisions
such as determining the number of facilities and selecting the best supplier-retailer
combination for the retail supply chain network, thereby minimizing the total supply
chain network costs. The mathematical model of the optimization problem with
different constraints and parameters recorded from the case company is solved by the
Mixed-integer linear Programming (MILP) method and the mathematical
programming problem solving software (CPLEX) then compares the results. | en_US |
