Abstract

This chapter presents the two-phase decision support concepts in automotive supply chain. The proposed concept applied two environments-mathematical programming (operation research approach) and constraint logic programming (declarative approach). We present an approach that allows modeling and solution of the same decision making model in both environments independently but also to communicate between them. In this chapter the decision making model as a problem of optimizing the cost in supply chain under resources, multimodal and environmental constraints in the form of MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming) has been presented. The numerical experiments were carried out using sample data to show the possibilities of practical decision support and optimization of the automotive supply chain.
