Abstract

This paper explores the application of optimization models in the context of global supply chain management (SCM). As businesses expand their operations across borders, the complexity of managing supply chains increases significantly, necessitating efficient strategies for inventory control, logistics, and service levels. The paper delves into the development and implementation of optimization models tailored to address the unique challenges faced by global supply chains. It discusses how these models can be utilized to minimize costs, enhance operational efficiency, and improve decision-making processes. The analysis includes case studies that illustrate the practical use of optimization techniques for various scenarios in international SCM, such as network design, transportation planning, and demand forecasting. Additionally, the paper examines the integration of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning with optimization models to further refine SCM strategies. By providing a comprehensive overview of optimization approaches in global SCM, this paper aims to contribute to the literature on effective supply chain management practices.
