Abstract
This paper presents the development of a process for Design for Supply Chain (DFSC) that aims to reduce the product life cycle costs, improve product quality, and improve profitability for all partners in the supply chain. It focuses on understanding the benefits of incorporating the supply chain configuration problem into the product design phase. This research examines the impacts of the product design and price decisions on the product demand, and the impacts of the supply chain decisions on the cost, lead time, and demand satisfaction with an verall aim of maximizing the pro its. The resulting mathematical models are demonstrated on illustrative problems. This pape discusses the results and demonstrates and discusses the benefits of using a DFSC approach.
