Capacities of a large supply chain with 4 layers and 10 nods

<p>We consider a case study of general supply chain with&nbsp; four layers and&nbsp; ten nodes at each layer&nbsp;, including suppliers, manufacturing plants, warehouses and customers. Indeed, such a model represents a complex network in which products are shipped from suppliers to plants where they are processed then redirected to warehouses, and finally directed to the customers. The shared data is regarding:</p> <p>- sites capacities,</p> <p>-customers yearly demands,</p> <p>-costs of&nbsp;purchasing and shipping products to manufacturing sites,</p> <p>-costs of shipping products from manufacturing&nbsp;sites to warehouses,</p> <p>-costs of shipping products from warehouse to markets</p>
