Strategic Design of Robust Global Supply Chains under Uncertainty

We will present a model for the strategic design of the global supply chain of an individual company. The model presented is a multi-period, two-stage stochastic, multi-country, multi-product, multi-echelon formulation based on forecasted exchange rates and with bill of materials (BOM) flow conservation. The objective is maximization of the expected value of the time-discounted world-wide after...

Addressing the Scheduling of Chemical Supply Chains under Demand Uncertainty

A multistage stochastic optimization model is presented to address the scheduling of supply chains with embedded multipurpose batch chemical plants under demand uncertainty. In order to overcome the numerical difficulties associated with the resulting large-scale stochastic mixed-integer-linear-programming (MILP) problem, an approximation strategy comprising two steps, and based on the resoluti...

Price Competition of Supply Chains under Demand Uncertainty

We study the price competition of two supply chains with demand uncertainty. Each supply chain consists of one risk-averse manufacturer and one risk-averse retailer. We consider two cases: two competing decentralized supply chains and two competing integrated supply chains. We analyze the effects of the demand uncertainty on the supply chains’ expected profits. In the first case, we find that t...
