New Mathematical Modeling of Three-Level Supply Chain with Multiple Transportation Vehicles and Different Manufacturers

Abstract

Nowadays, no industry can move in global markets individually and independently of competitors because they are part of a supply chain and the success of each member of the chain influences the others. In this paper, the issue of three-level supply chain with several products, one manufacturer, one distributor, and several customers is reviewed. In the first part of the chain, one type of vehicle and in the second part of the chain, two types of vehicles are used. The proposed model of this paper is a mixed integer planning integrated model. The model is considered to minimize costs, including transportation, inventory, and shortage penalty cost. This paper is about the proposed approach for development of quantitative models in the field of three-level supply chain and theoretical research and presents a case study of sending produced rolls by Mobarakeh Steel Structure Company to “Sazeh Gostar Saipa (S.G.S)” and then to suppliers. The solution proposed in this paper is imperialist competitive algorithm which is solved in 20 different sizes, and the results in small size are compared with GAMS.
