Improving supply chain planning in a competitive environment
This work extends the use of a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model, devised to optimize the Supply Chain planning problem, for decision making in cooperative and/or competitive scenarios, by integrating these models with the use of the Game Theory. The system developed is tested in a case study based in previously proposed Supply Chain, adapted to consider the operation of two different Supply Chains (multi-product production plants, storage centers, and distribution to the final consumers); two different optimization criteria are used to model both the Supply Chains benefits and the customer preferences, so both cooperative and non-cooperative way of working between both Supply Chains can be considered.
