Modeling supply chain operations as multi-level programming problems and their parametric programming based computation methodology

摘要

This paper proposes a modeling methodology for supply chain operations with a focus on the relationships of supply chain entities. Supply chain operation problems are mathematically formulated into a multilevel programming problem. A multiparametric programming-based computation methodology is proposed to compute the solution of the problems. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed modeling and computational methodology with some remarks.
