This book is a modest attempt to provide the means of improving one¿s skill in the field of multi-level supply chain models with manufacturer¿s and retailers¿ perspectives to optimize the available resources with constraints. It also examines comparative analysis, comparative analysis and critically reviews of their performances applying heuristic approach. This book is designed as a text on Integrated Multi-level Supply Chain Models: Applying Heuristic Approach and Publicity Strategy for Multi-item for post graduate students pursuing courses in Management, Engineering, Commerce, Mathematics, Statistics, and is also suitable for all those studying for professional qualifications such as MBA, MCA, MFC, CA, ICWA, B.Tech, M.Tech, IMBA and CS.
