Supply Chain Modeling

Summary

This chapter covers how to model supply chains in graphs. We explore inventory management, supplier relationships, disruption analysis, and transportation network optimization.

Concepts Covered

Inventory Management
Alternate Suppliers
Supply Chain Disruption
Transportation Networks

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, students will be able to:

Model inventory as nodes connected to suppliers and products
Design alternate supplier relationships for resilience
Analyze supply chain disruptions through graph traversal
Optimize transportation networks using graph algorithms
Connect supply chain models to product and location graphs
