Model components coming from different suppliers

Consider the production of 100 components. 30% of these components come from production site A and 70% from production site B.

In the manufacturing phase, create a component and insert 100 in quantity. Then select raw materials data according to their geographical area. For example, if 30% of the steel comes from the RER zone (Europe) and 70% from the ROW zone (rest of the world), the material data selected must take these geographical zones into account. The same applies to processes.

In the supply phase, the mass indicated corresponds to that of the component.

The supply distance to be entered is the proportion of components transported multiplied by the total distance. For example, if 30% of the raw material comes from Europe and takes 600 km to get to the component manufacturing site, you should enter 180 km (600 km * 30%).

For raw materials from Asia, with a distance of 10,000 km, the same method applies: 10,000 km * 70% = 7,000 km of transport.
