Abstract
This paper addresses the horizontal coordination of production and distribution activities between plants located in different countries. Horizontal coordination gives the multinational firm the flexibility to shift production between plants within its global manufacturing network to take advantage of future changes in production, transportation costs, trade regulations, exchange rates, competitive moves, and government policies. In reaction to and in anticipation of such changes, the question is to determine how to adjust the production and distribution activities of the different plants in the network to maximize the global after-tax profit for the multinational firm. This paper proposes a mixed integer programming model for this problem.
