Abstract

The focus of this work is the problem of locational complexity in the supply chain (i.e. the complexity emanating from the proliferation markets) that results from natural growth, multi-market, and market overlapping strategies. Notwithstanding, it is widely agreed among practitioners that this proliferation damages supply chains, rendering them less efficient; there is still a need for a mechanism for incorporating a measure of structural complexity in optimization models that may help on the design of less-complex networks or, alternatively, in the rationalization of oversized ones. In this work, we propose an extension to the K-Median problem that takes into account the complexity of the resulting network.
