A General Variable Neighborhood Search for Design Supply Chain Network

The configuration of the supply chain network has a strong influence on the overall performance of the supply chain. A well-designed supply chain network makes a correct base for effective supply chain management. This paper presents a solution procedure based A General Variable Neighborhood Search(GVNS) for the design of a new mixed integer programming in direct and indirect shipment state. The effectiveness of the GVNS has been investigated by comparing its results with those obtained by GAMS at different sizes.
