Abstract :
A supply chain is a network of facilities and activities that procure, produce, and distribute goods to customers. Many uncertainties within a supply chain can substantially affect its performance. The author discusses how to model these uncertainties in integrated supply-chain design models and studies their impacts on optimal supply-chain decisions
