In this paper, we use general-purpose techniques to obtain a block decomposition of supply chain instances and apply a tailored penalty alternating direction method, which exploits the structural properties of the decomposed instances. We further describe problem-specific enhancements of the algorithm and present numerical results on real-world instances that illustrate the applicability of the approach.}, url = {https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-trr154/258}, type = {Preprint}, institution = {TRR 154} }
