Coordination of a Cyclic Three-stage Supply Chain for Fast Moving Consumer Goods

We focus on a three-stage supply chain problem for fast moving consumer goods including a supplier, a manufacturer and customers. There are different orders over identical cycles, to be processed in production site. The problem is to find a joint cyclic schedule of raw material procurement and job scheduling minimized the total cost comprised of raw material ordering cost and holding cost, production cost, holding cost of finished products, tardiness cost and rejection cost. An integrated mixed integer programing model is proposed and optimal solution of some instances are provided by solving the model.
