Abstract

We present a methodology for integrated process planning and supply chain configuration for commodity assemblies. Although the supply chain configuration problem for commodity assemblies is relatively straightforward using math programming, developing a commodity-dependent math program with precedence constraints can be a very daunting and time-consuming process. We use Petri net techniques to support the development of such a math program. Our modeling approach is based on a series of stepwise Petri net transformations that transform the Petri net model of the assembly process into a supply chain configuration representation. We use the matrix representation as a basis for the integer program formulation. We present a small example commodity from the automotive industry to illustrate the proposed methodology.
