Optimal Supply Chain Network Design

该项目将为加拿大一家大型公司建立一个仓库最佳位置的数学模型。该模式将考虑分销的现有供应商（制造商）、分销中心提供的现有网点以及仓库向分支机构提供的产品的复杂性和多样性。该模型的求解将决定仓库的选址和容量.它还将确定每个仓库要提供的分支机构集。最终产品将是一个决策支持系统，通过分析和映射输出的情景分析，使高层决策成为可能。该项目的完成将提高加拿大的竞争力，为持续的经济增长做好准备。

The project will create a mathematical model for the optimal location of warehouses for a largeCanadian company. The model will take into account existing suppliers (manufacturers) to the distribution,existing outlets to be provisioned by the distribution centres, and the complexity and diversity of productsprovided by the warehouses to the branches. The solution of the mathematicalmodel will determine the location an capacity of warehouses to be built. It will also determine the set ofbranches to be provisioned by each warehouse. The final product will be a decision support system that willenable high level decision making through scenario analysis with analytical and mapped outputs. Thecompletion of this project will enhance Canadian competitiveness providing for continued economic growth.
