In recent years, the rising competitive environment with shorter product life cycles and high customization forcesindustries to increase their flexibility, speed up their response, and enhance concurrent engineering designs. To integratethese prospects, supply chain collaboration becomes a pertinent strategy for industries to strengthen theircompetitiveness. The network design problem is used to implement supply chain collaboration. In the buying andselling process, sharing information between buyer and supplier are important to obtain a transaction decision. Theoptimimum supply chain profit can be identified by mathematical model of network design problem. The MathematicalModel takes into consideration the uncertainity in negotiation of supply chain, transportation problems, and locationallocationof products from supplier to buyer in the planning based on the time value of money. The results show thatthe model can be used to optimize the supply chain profit. The supplier gets a profit because income were received inthe initial contract, while the buyer profit comes from lower pay. |
