Establishing an order allocation decision support system via learning curve model for apparel logistics

Apparel firms confront the problem with effective order allocation among factories when conducting global logistics operations. The problem is non-deterministic polynomial-time hard and often complicated to obtain an optimal solution. This research tried to solve, by heuristic method, the problem via applying the learning curve to the capacity planning to improve the decision-making on global logistics operations. It designed a two-stage order...
