Abstract

The proposed model is location-allocation model developed to design and manage the plants-to-customers ethanol supply chain in Thailand with the objective to minimize the total cost. The results showed that Thailand should have only one ethanol export depot and central depot located along wharfs in Samut Prakan province and along the highway in Non Sung district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, respectively. This model also provided the solutions on opening and expanding of production capacity of ethanol plants over time and appropriate ethanol allocation both of direct distribution and through the central depot for long term (2012-2021).
