Network design decision
Facility role; production, storage, cross-docking, processes performed andproducts produced (flexibility) Toyota before 97, factories serving local needs. In Asian crisis late 90s, Asian
factory experienced idle capacity that could not be used to produce for othermarkets. Afterwards, Toyoda added flexibility to their plants so that they can serveother markets.
Facility location
Very costly to open or close a plant Toyota opened its first US plant in Lexington, Kentucky in 88. This decisionprovided Toyota a low cost production option, especially when yen is strengthenedagainst dollar, and responsiveness.
Amazon had to increase the number of warehouses to 6 to be cost effective insupplying books throughout US.
Facility capacity
Allocating too little or too much capacity is costly Capacity decisions would not change for years.
Facility allocation to markets and supply sources has Significant impact on performance Must be reconsidered on a regular basis Amazon had to consider new allocations as it increased the number of facilities in
order to reduce the costs

Factors influencing network designdecisions
Strategic factors Convenience stores; many facilities for
responsiveness
Discount stores; few large facilities foreffectiveness (low cost)
Different locations playing different role Nikes facilities in china and Indonesia produces
lower priced shoes for mass markets, while itsfacilities in Korea and Taiwan focuses onresponsiveness and produce higher-priced newdesign, with high variability.

Factors influencing network designdecisions
Technological factors
Production technologies with high economies of scaleand high investment (micro-chips); few high-capacity
facility Technologies with low fixed investment cost and low
economies of scale; many close-to-market facilities,e.g. Cocacola bottling plants all over the world
Potential flexibility of the technology determines if wecan have few plants that will serve the entire market.

Factors influencing network designdecisions
Macro economic factors;
Taxes, tariffs, incentives, exchange rates
Tariffs are coming down because of regional
arrangements (NAFT, EU) Free-trade zones; production is exported, tar,ffs and
taxes are reduced
BMW located its US plant in North Carolina becouse
of tax incentives offered by this state. China waives tariffs entirely for high-tech products.
Some countries places limit on minimum loca content.

Factors influencing network designdecisions
Political factors rap diye rap rap would not attract foreign investment
Political stability, clear legal system, signinginternational treatments.
Infrastructure Availability of sites, closeness to transportation
options (seaports, rail, airports), availability of labor,local utilities
Example; Many companies located their factories inChina near Shanghai, Tianjin or GuangZuo, althoughthe labor and land costs are not the lowest in theseplaces

Factors influencing network designdecisions
Competitive factors;
Should the location be close to competitors orfar from them
Positive externalities; locating together helps allthe companies, e.g. Retail stores locing together ina mall
Locating to capture the market; Locating close to
the market to capture a large share, when pricesby the firms in the market are comparable

Factors influencing network designdecisions
Customer response time and local presence
Convenience stores must locate close to customerwhile the discount stores do not need to be close,
customers are ready to travel to buy larger quantitieswith lower prices.
With faster transportation options, facilities can beconsolidated and away from customers.
Logistics and facility costs; Inventory, transportation and facility cost should be
considered together

SC Network design problem
Objective is to identify the regions to locate the facilities, potential roleof the facilities, and their capacities. Objective should be maximizingoverall profitability or minimizing the cost while maintaining targetresponsiveness.
Needs forecasting the demand by regions Homogenous customer requirements across regions allows consolidated
facilities Identifying if the economies of scale is significant (e.g. Semiconductor
industry, huge economies of scale, larger facilities). Consider differentcapacity options when the conomies of scale is significant.
Evaluating demand, exchange-rate, political risks for different regionsand taxes and tariffs.
Examine competitors in each region, to be close or far away fromcompetitors
Determine desired response time for each region

SC Network design problem
Network design models can be used to locate facility anddecide capacity, which wont change in years. Thesemodels can also be used to assign current demand toavailable facilities and to the available transportationoptions, at least on an annual base.
Information for network configuration decision; Location ofsupply sources, markets, and potential sites for facilities,demand forecast by markets, facility, labor, and materialcost by site, transportation cost between sites, inventorycosts for each site, sale price of product for each regions,
desired response time and other service factors, taxes,tariff. Output; number of facilities in each region, what markets
that the facilities will serve.

Capacitated Plant Location withMultiple Sourcing
Considers onlytransportation andproduction costs
yi = 1 if plant is located atsite i, 0 otherwise
xij = Quantity shipped fromplant site i to market j
fi = Annualized fixed costof keeping plant i open.
cij=cost of producing andshipping (transportation,tariffs) one unit fromfactory i ot market j
Dj= Annual demand formarket j
Ki = Capacity of plant i.

Single Sourcing
Some times companies want a singlesourcing
A factory (warehouse) serves only a single
demand point. (A demand point can beserved by more than one factory)
Reduces the complexity of coordinating thenetwork
Reduces the flexibility needs for factories(warehouses)

Profit maximization, taxes, tariffsetc.
Market prices, taxes, tariffs would depend on theregion, in general.
Profit maximization is more appropriate in thiscase. Profit maximization also makes sure thatwe do not satifying unprofitable demand.

Practical issues in network designdecisions
Do not underestimate the life-span of thefacilities
Do not ignore the cultural issues andimplications
Do not ignore the quality of life issues
Focus on tax and tariffs and incentives
