HOW TO IMPROVE NORMATIVE MODELS

• By observing both of internationally recognized supply chain expert, Paul Bender’s “Natural Laws and Permanent Principles”
• In any system, the sum of the partial optimum benefits is less than the system optimum benefit.”

1. Descriptive models < normative models

2. Sum of normative models < Normative model of sum

3. Normative model with fewer decision variables < normative model with more decision variables
