The project will create a mathematical model for the optimal location of distribution centres for a large Canadian company. The model will take into account existing suppliers (manufacturers) to the distribution centres and existing outlets to be provisioned by the distribution centres. The solution of the mathematical model will determine where the distribution centres will be built and at what capacity level. The solution will also determine the set of outlets to be provisioned by each centre and how the manufacturers will supply each distribution centre. The final product will be a decision support system that will enable high level decision making through scenario analysis with analytical and mapped outputs. The completion of this project will enhance Canadian competitiveness providing for continued economic growth.

该项目将为一家大型加拿大公司创建一个数学模型，用于确定配送中心的最佳位置。 该模型将考虑配送中心的现有供应商（制造商）以及配送中心提供的现有销售点。 数学模型的解决方案将决定配送中心的建设地点以及容量水平。 该解决方案还将确定每个中心要提供的一组销售点以及制造商如何向每个配送中心供货。 最终产品将是一个决策支持系统，该系统将通过具有分析和映射输出的场景分析来实现高级决策。 该项目的完成将增强加拿大的竞争力，促进经济持续增长。
