Abstract :
In this paper, supply chain networks are considered in order to solve decision problems at the tactical level. The proposed MRP multi-site model is characterized by the presence of several production sites, several raw material suppliers, and by non-negligible transportation times and costs. Decision problems, as the choice of a particular supplier (competing with the others) or the determination of the site over which to perform the next operation, are based on the formulation of a mathematical programming problem that minimizes all costs involved in the network.
