SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK STRATEGIC DESIGN SYSTEM

摘要

A system is provided that designs a supply chain network. The system identifies a service level agreement metric definition. The system further generates a grid including cells, where the grid is located over a representation of a geographical region. The system further computes a service level agreement metric for each cell of the grid using the service level agreement metric definition. The system further selects cells that have the largest service level agreement metrics and that have not been previously selected. The system further positions a supply chain network resource at a center of the selected cells. The system further computes a service level agreement based on the service level agreement metric of the selected cells.

1. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to design a supply chain network, the designing comprising:
identifying a service level agreement metric definition; generating a grid comprising a plurality of cells, wherein the grid is located over a representation of a geographical region; computing a service level agreement metric for each cell of the grid using the service level agreement metric definition; selecting a cell that includes a largest service level agreement metric and that has not been previously selected; positioning a supply chain network resource at an original position of the selected cell; computing a service level agreement based on the service level agreement metric of the selected cell; determining whether the service level agreement is greater than or equal to a service level agreement threshold; and repeating the selecting, positioning, computing, and determining until the service level agreement is greater than or equal to the service level agreement threshold.
