Abstract

One of successful keys of a supply chain activity is about how to make harmony in supplying goods along the chain. Related to customer needs, the important factors are not only about the technical capabilities to attain right product specifications but also the capacity to satisfy due-date or market share. This paper tries to evaluate capacity sharing in a network of factories. Some of the factories may have same technical capabilit ies but different capacities. A factory is not seen as an individual object that has many competitors to fight but as a social object that has companions to share and collaborate. Each factory has its own contribution to the network’s goals. Allowing only high capacity factories to do all orders without permitting low capacity factories to take part may mean allowing the network goes slower than it should do. The problem is how to assign each factory to make the network work properly. The analysis begins with a heuristic assignment model developed from several previous researches. The simulation study then is performed to evaluate the model workability in a dynamic probabilistic system. The result shows that the proposed model could give higher network throughput in most cases evaluated.
