Implementation of modelling ship-to-sequence supply strategies

Abstract

The supply chain optimization is key to improving the cost efficiency and sustainability of manufacturing and service companies. One of the most innovative strategies is just-in-sequence supply, which offers improvements over traditional just-in-time approaches. This paper focuses on the implementation of ship-to-ship supply, especially to mathematical modeling of just-in-sequence strategies. It not only evaluates the entire supply process, but this approach allows for a comprehensive analysis of the financial impact of ship-to-ship supply for both suppliers and end-users. It goes beyond the analysis of the entire supply process; it allows an examination of selected processes at deeper levels and evaluates the impact of different factors on financial indicators.
