Allocation mix
Supply Chain Optimization
Two suppliers: A is cheaper but capacity-limited and higher carbon. B is more expensive but reliable. Assembly has its own capacity constraint.
Decision logic
Allocate volume across suppliers to balance fulfillment, unit cost, and carbon policy in one plan.
Decision question
What sourcing mix hits fulfillment while balancing unit cost and carbon policy?
Model output
Recommended mix20k A / 15k B
Max fulfillment35k units/month
Cost vs cheapest plan+$7/unit
Active limits
- Supplier A tapped out
- Carbon cap 82% used
Key insight
The cheapest all-A plan fails policy, so the winning mix deliberately buys more from B to stay shippable.
Cheapest plan (all Supplier A) violates the carbon commitment.
Feasible plan splits sourcing — $7/unit premium, but it actually ships.
If carbon policy tightens further, Supplier B share grows and COGS rises with it.
