Equity in multiproduct supply chain network
Equity in multiproduct supply chain network
In this paper, multiproduct supply chain network is investigated with equity consideration,namely, obtaining the optimal flow pattern, in such a way that no user in the network can increasehis(her) benefit with change in product's sending path.individual cost function and, at the same time, contributes to its own and other product's cost functionin an individual way. An algorithm is developed to find optimal flow pattern for such multiproductsupply chain network.
