A Constraint Satisfaction Approach to Coordinating Multi-site Manufacturing Supply Chains
The dispersed manufacturing environment entails the coordination of product,process,and supply chain (PPSC) decisions. This paper formulates PPSC coordination as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) involving product fulfillment knowledge of multiple domains. Based on a domain-based reference model,the multi-site manufacturing supply chain is constructed,considering network structures,product characteristics,decision variables,along with various constraints. A decision propagation structure (DPS) is developed based on the concept of constraint heuristic search to facilitate the exploration of solution spaces. A case study of truck manufacture in a multi-national company is presented to illustrate the framework for PPSC coordination.
