1 Capacity Planning in a General Supply Chain with Multiple Contract Types Stephen C. Graves and Xin Huang May 2008

Copyright Stephen C. Graves 2008 All Rights Reserved 2 Motivation Prior research has developed algorithms and software for modeling and optimizing the inventory across a supply chain – “strategic inventory placement model” Impetus for current research – develop and deploy a tactical model to provide decision support for determining capacity levels across a supply chain

Copyright Stephen C. Graves 2008 All Rights Reserved 3 Intent Develop a framework to support capacity planning decisions in a supply chain with −Multiple products −Each product requires multiple processes (or components) −Each resource provides capacity for one or more processes Need to determine the right level and type of capacity investments Need to account for network interrelationships, demand uncertainty, multiple time periods, & different capacity contracts.

Copyright Stephen C. Graves 2008 All Rights Reserved 4 Work to Date Developed framework for structuring models Developed and tested algorithms for determining the amount, type and timing of capacity investments across a complex multi-product supply chain Implementation of user-friendly software is underway

Copyright Stephen C. Graves 2008 All Rights Reserved 5 Model assumptions Given demand forecast and contract prices, we first make capacity decisions: −For each resource how much capacity to reserve and with what type of contract Then we learn what the actual demand is and decide how to allocate capacity to meet demand as best as possible Objective is to maximize revenue net of capacity costs

Graves 2008 All Rights Reserved 22 Summary Have developed a framework to support capacity planning decisions for supply chain Have developed solution algorithms for single period and multi-period problems To do − develop a case study to test and validate approach −finalize prototype software with user friendly interface

Copyright Stephen C. Graves 2008 All Rights Reserved 23 Collaboration Opportunities Need a test case(s) to validate and refine framework −Are we looking at problem in right way? −Does the data exist to test model? −Can our algorithms result in better decisions? −What’s critical/non-critical in how we are viewing problem ? Interest in internships for LFM or SDM students for “beta testing” Contact Steve Graves or Xin Huang
