Accepted April 20 2018 The model determines different factors such as the optimum ordering of the raw materials and Available online the optimal level of the production items with the optimal order of the products by retailers at April 20 2018 Keywords each level of the chain with the objective of minimizing inventory management costs in the Supply chain management supply chain. An algorithm is presented to determine the solution of the problem and the Three-level supply chain implementation of the proposed method is demonstrated using some numerical example. Inventory management 2019 by the authors licensee Growing Science Canada 1. Introduction In recent years an integrated assessment of the suppliers producers distributors and consumers that make up the supply chain components is one of the areas that has received much attention Pandey et al. 2017 Rastogi et al. 2017 Shah 2017 Tripathi amp Kaur 2017 . From an operational point of view supply chain management integrates suppliers builders warehouses and storage facilities in a manner that is effective in producing and distributing goods at the right time and in the right place and maintaining the total cost of the system while maintaining the appropriate level of .
