Robust optimization of supply chain in the economic crisis

Abstract

Supply chain's complexity and strong randomness affecting the robustness of the system, study the entire supply chain system, analysis of supply chain elements of the node enterprises, logistics, capital flow, information flow, and their mutual relations and transfers between the state, with the addition of variable method, the use of partial differential equations to establish a supply chain system Markov chain model. Analysis of the economic crisis on the impact of supply chain systems, and make robust supply chain strategy under the situation of the economic crisis to optimize the operation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
