摘要:The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the complexity of the network and facilitate its design. Nowadaysnetwork cooperation is very prevalent but as for its development there are not any common designmethods, so we try to identify the general factors which can improve the efficiency of the network. With asimulation program we can take different adjustments regarding the elements of the network (suppliers,customers, distribution centers and the network centre) in order to achieve minimum lead time, minimumcost, maximum efficiency and maximum benefits. For example in case of suppliers the followingadjustments can be made: the interval time (the time during which it can fulfill the order), batch sizeleaving this object, capacity of the manufacturing line, the cost of the products (cost/unit and capitalcosts), the quality of the products
