Software-Defined Mobile Supply Chains: Rebalancing Resilience and Efficiency in Production Systems

“…Many papers related to these three planning problems can be found in the literature, as well as some combinations of the three, such as the location-routing problem [58] or the integrated planning of production and distribution [59]. However, there are just a few papers that solve these three planning decisions simultaneously since, due to the strategic nature of the location decision, the production sites are usually assumed as fixed, which hinders an altering of the location in the short term [60]. These problems can be represented by mathematical models and solved with the help of mathematical programming and heuristics to find (near) optimal solutions.…”
