Supply chain design: A case study of greenfeed company

Abstract

Supply chain design is a substantial process that entails choosing where to locate facilities and how to assign routes in order to meet customer demands while reducing overall costs. The most important choice in supply chain management has an effect on every other task, especially in a food supply chain where time constraints on products’ shelf life is considered. An MILP method is adopted in this thesis to solve current problems of GreenFeed’s food supply chain regarding the hubs allocation and transportation plan. Results show several factors such as revenue, profits, lost sale, transportation, etc then sensitivity analysis is performed to compare different results with altered input factors to ensure achieved result leading to optimal operating as well as transportation cost.
