Multi-sourcing, inventory, and transportation management are among the major levers of a supply chain. In this paper, we study the case of multi-sourcing problem by considering the transportation policies used between suppliers and a buyer. Thus, we propose a programming model that determines the optimal order quantities to allocate to the suppliers used, according to the direct or indirect shipment. The objective to minimize in the model is the total logistics cost which is composed of purchasing, inventory, and transportation costs. The constraints related to suppliers and buyer are considered. The model is illustrated with a comprehensive example.
