We build on the simplistic production planning model to complete the also simple supply chain from production through inventory and on to customer demand. Instead of making demand a given, we make demand sensitive to price. In this segment we regale ourselves with a dynamic model of multiperiod supply chain optimization. Margin is still our focus. Inventory links one period to another. Amazingly (?) production seems unaffected by changes in capacity (have we constrained production too much?). Our fixed capacity model to changes in capacity. Yes, we can have a capacity decision for further, more strategic planning and decision making! Left to the imagination are production costs per unit, inventory costs per unit, safety stock, and only slightly endogenized warehouse capacity. We discuss further how this model might express the way a soybean refiner moves soybeans from farms, through a crusher, thence to markets for refined soybean oil on the shelves of our corner grocery stores. Enjoy!
