The generated suppliers' timeline topologies are merged with time inter-dependency relationship between each node to generate production timeline topology of the product. Routes from nodes without predecessor nodes to nodes without successor nodes in the production timeline topology is generated. An optimal route having minimum manufacturing cost of the product is selected.
