Optimizing the Manufacturing Supply Chain for Distilling Process: Discussion Based on the Inverse Minimum Cost Flow Problem Model (ID: 3-012)

摘要

In this paper, we introduce the inverse optimization problems' study into analyzing of the supply chain quantitatively. An overview of the general inverse minimum cost flow problem and its solving algorithms is presented. And based on the minimum cost flow problem model of the manufacturing supply chain for distilling process, the orientation and/or goals for strategies on how to improving the supply chain's efficiency and effectiveness — so as to realize the whole supply chain system's optimization — are discussed quantitatively by management innovation. And in the end, a numerical example is given.
