Increasing Supply Chain Robustness through Process Flexibility and Strategic Inventory
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper combines process flexibility and strategic inventory to develop an effective disruption mitigation strategy. We consider a manufacturer with multiple plants producing multiple products where strategic inventory can be held for any product. We measure the level of supply chain robustness by proposing the concept of Time-to-Survive (TTS) defined as the maximum time that no customer demand is lost regardless of which plant is disrupted.

متن کاملIncreasing Supply Chain Robustness through Process Flexibility and Inventory
We study a hybrid strategy that uses both process flexibility and inventory to mitigate risks of plant disruption. In this setting, a firm allocates inventory before disruption while facing demand uncertainties; demand is realized after disruption, and the firm schedules its production using process flexibility to minimize lost sales. This interplay between process flexibility and inventory is ...
