Reference number : GC-2017-Q1-00497, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Caron, Richard (University of Windsor), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : The project will create a mathematical model for the optimal location of warehouses for a large_x000D_
Canadian company. The model will take into account existing suppliers (manufacturers) to the distribution,_x000D_
existing outlets to be provisioned by the distribution centres, and the complexity and diversity of products_x000D_
provided by the warehouses to the branches. The solution of the mathematical_x000D_
model will determine the location an capacity of warehouses to be built. It will also determine the set of_x000D_
branches to be provisioned by each warehouse. The final product will be a decision support system that will_x000D_
enable high level decision making through scenario analysis with analytical and mapped outputs. The_x000D_
completion of this project will enhance Canadian competitiveness providing for continued economic growth., program purpose french : The project will create a mathematical model for the optimal location of warehouses for a large_x000D_
