Towards the Design of Resilient Supply Networks under Disruptions

Walid Klibi, Alain Martel

This research introduces the concept of resilience in Supply Network (SN) design problems under uncertainty. The SN design approach proposes a stochastic programming based formulation including resilience strategies. Using a Monte-Carlo approach, samples of random and hazardous scenarios are generated and used to produce a set of alternative resilient designs. These designs are then evaluated with a larger scenario sample, including worst case scenarios, in order to select the most resilient one.
