Modeling Production Economies of Scale in Supply Chain Network Design DSS for a large FMCG Firm

摘要：

This paper describes an optimization based model and Decision Support System (DSS), developed for strategic and tactical supply chain planning for a large FMCG firm that manufactures and distributes a wide range of bakery products. The DSS uses Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model labeled as Facilities Installation Planner (FIP). FIP is a facilities locationcapacity-technology selection and facilities allocation model. It was extended to incorporate economy of scale in installation of production facilities. The model, while recommending improved network designs, showed 5-6 ％ reduction in the total cost of the FMCG firm as compared to what it is incurring in its existing supply chain network. Model formulation and results are discussed.
