SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK DESIGN AND SOLVING IT VIAA PROPOSED SIMULATED ANNEALING METAHEURISTIC

In this paper, we propose a framework for supply chain network design, that allows for the determination of the optimal level of operational product flows associated with supply chain activities of manufacturing, storage and distribution at minimal cost and subject to the satisfaction of product demands. In this paper, we propose a simulated annealing to find the solution.
