Analytical review of approaches manufacturing networks design

Abstract

This article provides an analytical review of publications on the manufacturing network design, particularly its relevance in modern production, as well as the problems that arise during the transportation of raw materials between logistics and production sites. An analysis of works by year in the scientometric database Scopus was carried out. The authors who have published the largest number of works are represented, including countries and educational institutions. Also, what types of publications were published the most and in which field of science there was the greatest interest in them. The sponsoring funds that made the biggest contribution to the publication of these scientific works are presented. During the manufacturing network design, logistics problems often arise such points as determining the most profitable places for the location of production facilities, warehouses and distribution centers to reduce transportation costs, reduce delivery times, as well as effectively meet the needs and requests of consumers. To solve the problems that arise during the transportation of raw materials between logistics areas, a lattice model on a rectangular grid using lattice differential equations with a delay has been developed.
