Abstract
A three-tier logistics/production model is developed that addresses the integration of suppliers, manufacturers and distribution. The model can be applied at either micro (within facility) or macro (between facilities) levels. The multi-echelon problem is formulated to minimize overall inventory and setup cost. A simulated annealing based heuristic is developed, then experimentation is performed to determine operational guidelines and to compare performance versus a traditional EOQ/EPQ based approach.
