| Abstract [eng] |
This research work is carried out at X company and its primary focus is to determine an optimum supply chain network for its Asian commodities. This work aims at providing in-depth analysis and recommendations to the strategic planning department of the organization. Information required to build models, run simulations, and conduct analysis were abstracted from annual business data from the X company. After collating the required information, an outline of the potential network configuration is formulated. The problem formulation was done and the optimum supply chain model was obtained by solving a facility location problem. Various parameters influencing the design of an optimum supply chain were investigated and various cost scenarios were simulated. All the feasible designs were subjected to sensitivity analysis and the robustness of the optimum model is checked. Recommendations were given to X company including worst case and best case scenarios from cost, material availability and operations management perspectives. |
