Tactical supply chain planning after mergers under uncertainty with an application in oil and gas

Tactical Planning of the Oil Supply Chain: Optimization under Uncertainty

The oil industry is increasingly interested in improving the planning of their operations due to the dynamic nature of this business. Decisions made at the oil chain differ in the activity range (spatial integration) and planning horizon (temporal integration). This paper purpose is to address the spatial integration under uncertainty in the oil chain at the tactical planning level and proposes...

Supply Chain Design and Distribution Planning under Supply Uncertainty Application to Bulk Liquid Gas Distribution Jury

A Lagrangean decomposition approach for oil supply chain investment planning under uncertainty with risk considerations

We present a scenario decomposition framework based on Lagrangean decomposition for the multi-product, multi-period, supply investment planning problem considering network design and discrete capacity expansion under demand uncertainty. We also consider a risk measure that allows us to reduce the probability of incurring in high costs while preserving the decomposable structure of the problem. ...

Optimizing decentralized production–distribution planning problem in a multi-period supply chain network under uncertainty

Decentralized supply chain management is found to be significantly relevant in today’s competitive markets. Production and distribution planning is posed as an important optimization problem in supply chain networks. Here, we propose a multi-period decentralized supply chain network model with uncertainty. The imprecision related to uncertain parameters like demand and price of the final produc...

Tactical Planning Models for Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management refers to efficient operation paradigms related to procurement of raw material, transforming them into semi-finished and finished products and distributing them to the end customer, thereby transcending multiple business units. Poor supply chain management (more often than not) predominantly results in excessive amounts of inventory, the largest asset for many firms. Inv...
