Abstract
The paper presents a new formulation of the production-distribution problem in networks with a complex structure of manufacturing the end product. The paper highlights different features of the problem, including the sequence of procedures for product manufacturing and delivery, taking into account various types of products at one stage, the distinction between a step and a stage. The concepts of "fictitious" and "real" parts (volumes) of product supply from real suppliers were introduced, which made it possible to avoid the use of heuristic methods in solving the problem. The paper presents a technique based on the simplex method for optimizing the production and supply of different types of products at each stage of the production chain, allowing the problem to be solved in one optimization procedure. The results of the study can be useful for planning in complex and multidisciplinary ("network") companies to make economically sound decisions in the field of production chain management.
