Abstract: Supply Chains (SC) can be complex, dynamic and large-scale. They can make modelling and optimisation of SC difficult tasks. This paper describes a framework of a new Modelling and Optimisation Management Tool (MOMT) for large-scale supply chain networks. A graph-based method is used to automatically generate and update optimisation models for large-scale SC networks. Graph's nodes and arcs, that define the optimisation model's constraints and variables, are generated according to the SC requirements. MOMT increases accuracy and flexibility of modelling and information processing in large-scale SC models. The tool applications, advantages and disadvantages are described by real world examples from Motorola Inc. SC.
