Abstract

In this paper, we are exploring the optimal path for the supply chain system by using queueing models. We analyze different optimal paths are designed using various optimal channels from a different location. This article aims to obtain the best optimal path so that the delivery of the system makes more effective. The various performance measures have been determined such as queue length, response time and waiting time corresponding to store, packing, and transportation by adopting different paths. Numerical results have been obtained using MATLAB which validates for our model.
