Sourcing-Production-Distribution Planning of Global Multi-Product Chemical Manufacturing Processes With Duty Drawback(Abstract)

摘要

Over the years, the forces of globalization have evidently driven manufacturing companies to procure more raw materials and sell more finished products internationally. These transactions must invariably travel through a complex maze of heterogeneous international regulatory measures such as taxes, tariffs, customs, etc. In our previous work1,2, we highlighted and demonstrated the importance of regulatory factors in supply chain management with a focus on the capacity expansion problem. Duty drawback is a key regulatory measure that involves full or partial refund of paid import duties, when the imported merchandise is destroyed, exported, or consumed as a raw material to produce an exported material.
