OBJECTIVES • Develop Decision Support Tools for Integrated Supply Chain Design and Management • Incorporate vagueness and uncertainty through the use of Fuzzy Mathematics. • Demonstrate prototypes.
SUPPLY CHAIN MODELING AND OPTIMIZATIONUSING SIMULATION & SOFT COMPUTING • Supply chains involve the activity and interaction of many entities. • Decision makers typically have imprecise goals. • e.g. “Low work – in – process” • Some system parametersmay also be imprecise. • e.g. “Production rate” • Discrete event simulationcan help design and analyze supply chains. • Manyconfigurations and courses of action need to be investigated. • Even experts have to spend a considerable amount of timesearching for good alternatives. • Soft computing guided simulation speeds upthe process.
Supply Chain Configuration Knowledge Extraction Input - Performance Data Simulation Goals met? Yes Stop No Fuzzy System / Relationship Identification Activate Fuzzy Rules/Logic Soft Computing Guided Simulation ITERATIVE PROCESS SCHEME
RULE BASE GUIDE TO SUPPLY CHAIN RECONFIGURATION • Rule example 1: If Overall work-in-process is High then Change in production rate in the Cutting facility is Positively Small. • Rule example 2: If Overall work-in-process is High and Utilization at the cutting facility is High then Change in production rate in the Cutting facility is Positively Large.
Membership Iteration RESULTS • Satisfactory results (high service level) achieved in few iterations.
