| Abstract | In the 21st century with the rise of increasing competition and highly variable customer demands, managing and designing of supply chain network have become critical in the industry. Supply chain network design (SCND) which is concerned with acquisition of resources and deprivation decisions has a long-time horizon for determining the operative long-term benefits. In the present world, disruptions are the major threats for a SC because of refined trends such as globalization, outsourcing, JIT (just-in-time) working standard and lean practices. It has been a trending topic for research nowadays as scanty work has been done on disruptions risk while most of the research had been focused on various operational risks related to the operation of the supply chain. In addition, many papers dealing with disruption risks at distribution center considered model’s assumptions limited to the theoretical world and has been ignored in most of the instances. A 3-stage logistics network is being addressed in this supply chain network design problem with the aim to design a supply chain network under disruption which can take place to any potential DCs and the location decisions are estimated according to the optimum costs. A mathematical model has been developed in which the number of distribution-centers is fixed, transportation/routing cost and shortage cost should be minimized, and the capacity of the DC is fixed, and demand is known. Single manufacturer and non-perishable single product are taken into consideration. A scenario-based modelling approach is used to determine the assignment of goods to the distribution centers and customer zones. Numerical experiments have been conducted considering various scenarios for examine the model. Sensitivity analysis with various parameters have also been conducted to check the robustness of the solution. |
