Distributed multi-level collaborative production-distribution planning model and solution for supply chain

For a multi-echelon distributed supply chain consisted of a manufacturer, multi-warehouses and multi-detailers, with multi-productions, we developed a triple-level collaborative production-distribution planning model aimed to maximize the profit of each level. The problem included three sub-problems: the first-level problem, the second-level problem, and the third-level problem, which were decided by manufacturer, warehouses and retailers respectively. We also designed an interactive multi-level programming method based on fuzzy theory for solving the model. Finally, the model and algorithm were illustrated with a numerical example. In addition, it compared the interactive multi-level programming method with traditional fuzzy multi-objective programming method in respect of decision behavior and programming results.
