This paper tackles a supply chain strategic dynamic decision problem in textile industry. The supply chain studied is composed of several production locations on the three process stages. Different suppliers provide raw materials on production location of the firrst stage. Products can be grouped into 16 different categories. Supply chain costs are mainly due to transportation costs. The objective of this study is to determinewhere fabrics must be produced to satisfy the assembly demand at different locations. This problem has never been studied in textile industry application context. A mathematical model based on graph representation is proposed.
