Abstract
In the literature, most mathematical models for supply chains assume that transportation links will not fail. However, in reality, transportation links are subject to various sorts of disruptions. Furthermore, in most supply chain models,there is little consideration given to the diminishing value of the product. In this paper, we have designed an integrated supply chain network for perishable products that takes into account random disruptions in transportation links. We also consider several capacitated manufacturing facilities and retail outlets and stochastic demands. This model considers both demand and process uncertainty (which is incorporated through random disruptions in the transportation link between the manufacturers and the retailers), simultaneously. The model also investigates the manufacturer’s facility locations and shipment decisions in the supply chain and minimizes the total cost of the entire supply chain. The paper discusses the model output through a numerical example and we observe that the resilient model(the model considering transportation link disruptions) and the disruption free model yields different designs. Finally, the paper provides an extensive statistical analysis of disruption uncertainties in the supply chain.
