Network Design

Main purpose:

Minimize the global balance (costs – revenues) in the entire planning horizon and in the entire logistic perimeter.
Revenues as the sum of the gross incomes from all the satisfied customers’ demands .
Costs as the sum of the following components:

  • Material travel costs within the network (for each transport type: plane, truck, train…)
  • Purchases of raw materials from suppliers
  • Variable cost related to production and management of material
  • Fixed cost for the usage of productive or distributive resources
  • Costs of activation or deactivation of any productive, distributive network node
  • Penalty due to not-satisfied demands
