Theory and Methodology Concurrent optimization in designing for logistics support

چکیده
Concurrent Engineering has always been an important ®eld within military industry and is gaining recognition within commercial industry as well. Studies have suggested that long-range research eorts need to be directed to the area of integrated logistics. In order to satisfy the overall logistics objectives, product designs must incorporate consideration of the impact that design decisions have on operations, maintenance, transportation and supply. This paper presents a model that carries out a concurrent optimization of a product design and its associated manufacturing and logistics support systems. We oer this model as a framework for decision support of concurrent engineering activities. Ó 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, a new model is proposed for the integrated logistics network designing problem. In many research papers in this area, it is assumed that there is only one option for the capacity of each facility in the network. However, this is not a realistic assumption because generally there may be many possible options for the capacity of the facility that is being established. Usually the c...
