The manuscript presents and discusses the supply chain optimization of an industrial enterprise characterized by a decentralized (multi-site) production structure. The study concerns the enterprise-wide optimization (comprising production sites, interconnection pipelines and a distribution network) and solves the multifaceted problem of monthly production planning subject to legal limitations imposed on the mathematical model by supply contracts and purchasing agreements, in addition to classical constraints. Take-or-pay clauses and trade agreements, as well as specific services defined by binding contracts, signed with the National Electric Energy Supplier (NEES), are modeled and implemented as (in)equality constraints.
