The cost incurred to feed the manufacturing unit are concave and depends on the providers. Each provider supplies a quantity with certain restrictions: either they do not feed the manufacturing unit at all, or the quantity provided lies between a minimal and a maximal value.
The problem considered in this paper concerns a set of providers that feed a manufacturing unit (or several manufacturing units).
In this paper, we consider the concave cost supply problem where a manufacturer seeks to select the suppliers and simultaneously procure the quantity of ...

The considered problem consists of product delivery from a set of providers to the manufacturing units (single unit and single planning period in our case).
Abstract. The paper addresses an important but difficult class of concave cost supply management problems which consist in minimizing.
