Agrochemical supply chains of multi-national corporations are complex entities that operate in a highly-regulated business environment and are characterized by large product portfolios, multi-stage manufacturing and distribution processes, long production lead times, and globally-distributed facility and customer locations. The market for agrochemicals is known for frequent new product launches, variable and seasonal demands, and a large number of substitutes. Also, at the operational level, individual manufacturing sites are often subject to potential delays, bottlenecks, and downtimes due to stringent quality control checks, constrained capacity, and limited working time flexibility. These unique features of the supply chain lead to a large number of opportunities for improvement and call for tailored optimization models to solve the planning problems. This master thesis is aimed to present and analyze key characteristics of agrochemical supply chains, pointing out whether the identified features are shared by supply chains in a similar industry or are unique to the agrochemical sector. Then, according to the classification of planning problems into long, medium, and short terms, planning-related challenges faced by a generic, global agrochemical company are discussed. Finally, existing literature on the corresponding problems is reviewed, and essential works of optimization models for each of the planning levels are highlighted to foster interest in further research.
