Title
Optimization of order policies in supply networks
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop a model which allows for the study and optimization of arbitrarily complex supply networks, including order policies and money flows. We propose a mathematical description that captures the dynamic behavior of the system by a coupled system of ordinary differential delay equations. The underlying optimization problem is solved using discretization techniques yielding a mixed-integer programming problem.
