Abstract: A method for managing a supply chain may include acquiring property data regarding the supply chain, acquiring one or more objectives to be achieved by the supply chain, the supply chain including a plurality of supply chain entities including customers, manufacturing facilities, and distributing facilities, and a plurality of edges connecting the supply chain entities. The method may also include establishing a first supply chain model for the supply chain in a first geographic resolution based on the property data, determining a first solution for the first supply chain model, establishing a second supply chain model for the supply chain in a second and finer geographic resolution based on the first solution, determining a second solution for the second supply chain model, manufacturing products by manufacturing facilities based on the second solution, and distributing the manufactured products by the distributing facilities and edges based on the second solution.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a computer-implemented method for designing a supply chain for multiple objectives based on a supply chain model. The method comprises defining a plurality of objectives for the supply chain model. The supply chain model includes a plurality of edges connecting one or more demands with one or more supplies. The method further includes selecting a first one of the plurality of objectives and at least a second one of the plurality of objectives and configuring, using a controller, the supply chain model for the first objective. The method further comprises identifying, using the controller, a subset of the plurality of edges based on the supply chain model configured for the first objective and relationships between the plurality of edges and the at least second objective. The method further comprises operating the supply chain according to the identified subset of the plurality of edges.
