This paper proposes a mixed integer linear program (MILP) for the design and planning of a production-distribution system. This study aims to help strategic and tactical decisions: opening, closing or enlargement of facilities, supplier selection, flows along the supply chain. These decisions...

This paper proposes a new heuristic method for the logistics network design and planning problem based on linear relaxation and DC (difference of convex functions) programming. We consider a multi-period, multi-echelon, multi-commodity and multi-product problem defined as a large scale mixed...
