Séminaire ONDI | GERAD | SCRO : Richard J. Caron

Séminaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada sur l'optimisation non linéaire discrète en ingénierie, du GERAD et de la SCRO

Titre : A network optimization model for the TDL Group Corp.

Conférencier : Richard J. Caron, University of Windsor, Canada

Résumé : 

In this talk I will present the research project that led to the 2012 Practice Prize of the Canadian Operational Research Society. We were asked to develop a decision support tool for a national supply chain network of approximately 3,000 outlets, 5 distribution centres and 30 suppliers in 47 locations. With a given set of 150 possible distribution centre locations, we were asked provide a model that would analyse the existing network and that would determine the optimal location of a new distribution centre.

We present the ideas and assumptions behind our network model; develop the optimization problem, present simplifications, and present results. Our model was integrated with the TDL transportation routing software and a new 'Network Analyst' management position was created to use our model to inform decisions on DC expansion.

Entrée gratiute.

Bienvenue à tous.
