Capacity constraint of the factory. It implies that the level of product shipped from each factory to warehouses cannot exceed that factory's capacity.
∑ Xij ≤Si, ∀i∈S (2) j lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
The warehouse capacity constraint. It implies that the level of product transferred from each warehouse to the distribution center cannot exceed the capacity of that warehouse.
∑ X jk ≤W j ,∀ j∈W (3) k
The total number of open factories cannot be greater than the maximum and cannot be less than the minimum allowable number of factories that need to be opened.
F Pmin≤∑Y i ≤F Pmax (4) i
The total number of open warehouses cannot be greater than the maximum and cannot be less than the minimum allowable number of warehouses that need to be opened.
W Pmin≤∑ Y j ≤W Pmax (5) j
The amount of product distributed from factories to a warehouse is equal to the
amount of product distributed from that warehouse to the distribution centers, for all warehouses.
∑ Xij−¿∑ X jk=0,∀ j∈W ¿ (6) i k
The number of products delivered from warehouses to a distribution center cannot be less than the quantity demanded by that distribution center, for all distribution centers. lOMoAR cPSD| 23136115
∑ X jk ≥ Dk ,∀ k∈ D (7) j
Any product cannot be delivered from a factory unless the factory is open.
Xij Mij Y i≤0,∀i∈S,∀ j∈W (8)
Any product cannot be delivered from a warehouse unless the warehouse is open.
X jk M jk Y j ≤0, ∀ j∈W ,∀ k∈S (9) /
The value of Y i Y j is 1 if the factories/warehouses are open or the value is 0 otherwise.
Y i ,Y j={0,1}, ∀i∈S, ∀ j∈W (10)
The product quantity delivered from factories to distribution centers cannot be negative.
