In this paper, we develop a framework for robust supply chain design i.e. to build supply chains, which can handle disruptive events with minimal loss. There are two obvious steps to handle exceptions: (1) to design chains with built in risk-tolerance and (2) to contain the damage once the undesirable event has occurred. In this paper, we consider design of robust (to risks) supply chains. Firs...
