Abstract

This paper presents a model for a supply chain consisting of a supplier, a manufacturer and a customer with objective of minimizing the delivery time of last order to customer (Makespan). The problem is first described and solved in small scales by Lingo 11.0. Then, because of problem complexity, a Bee Algorithm (BA) methaheuristic approach is developed to find near optimal solutions in reasonable run times.
