Addressing the Sugar Crisis Supply Chain Management Problem in the Philippines via a Mixed-Integer Linear Optimization Approach

This paper seeks to address the sugar crisis supply chain management problem of Philippines using a mixed-integer linear programming model. Despite topic on resource scarcity being widely taken subject in literature, little no research works have satisfactorily provided an objective means allocate scarce resources. As such, formulates model represent allocation across multiple levels echelons chain. Key results indicate that there may be certain monopolistic characteristic which happens as expected reality.
