- Abstract
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) initiative envisages substantial infrastructure development in Pakistan. This study ascertains op-timal transportation routes for the cement industry under the CPEC program using a mixed integer linear programming model and discrete-event simulation using Witness simulation software. The solution of the mathematical model presents the best combination of cement manufacturing clusters, road inter-changes and ports to connect. Policy makers and practitioners can use the find-ings of this study to optimize logistics decisions under CPEC.
