Abstract: Abstract This chapter, which explores the interplay between three significant factors in global supply chains, holds two research objectives. The first is a model to maximize after tax profit by prescribing facility locations, transportation modes, and material flows in a global supply chain. The second is to demonstrate relationships among these three components through a case study.
