Input data provides an order of a quantity of finished goods to a site. Software is programmed for: accessing data defining an architecture of the supply chain network with sites, and a location of each site; enumerating one or more path solutions along the supply chain network to fulfill the order, each path solution comprising path fragments connecting two sites, a path fragment defining movement of a sub-quantity of the finished goods or raw materials; determining a cost associated with each of the plurality of path fragments, the cost comprising a duty rate, the duty rate associated with a particular path fragment based on the locations of the two sites connected by the particular path fragment and the sub-quantity of the finished goods or finished goods raw materials moved between the two sites; determining one or more optimal path solutions; and outputting the optimal path solutions for display.

Systems and methods for determining duty costs associated with a supply chain network

Input data comprises a particular quantity of one or more finished goods to be produced over a time period. Software is programmed for: accessing infrastructure data that defines an infrastructure of a particular production facility; generating one or more sequence-dependent production plans comprising a particular sequence of one or more production process steps; calculating one or more optimized production plans for the time period by: determining a sub-period optimization plan for a first sub-period by adjusting one or more of a plurality of binary variables; generating a neighborhood optimization plan by adjusting one or more of the plurality of binary variables for a predefined neighborhood; and generating a particular optimized production plan for the time period by adjusting one or more of the plurality of binary variables; filtering the one or more optimized production plans based on one or more filtering criteria; and outputting the optimized production plans for display.
