Abstract

This article aims to achieve integration in the supply chain of Muga silk by optimising the transportation distance in the supply chain network. The objectives of this study include re-modelling the existing supply chain to integrate identified entities besides facilitating the dynamic addition of future entities without causing disruptions. The research follows an experimental design and uses network analysis techniques to present an optimal network that seeks to achieve supply chain integration by an incremental selection of the nearest node while minimising transportation distance in the overall network. Findings from the study can facilitate the creation of closed-looped ecosystems already existing in different districts and integrate them into the greater supply chain of the Muga silk industry. This process can be used to achieve similar entity collaboration in neighbouring districts, resulting in improved logistics in the industry.
