Summary
Many attempts have been made to model and optimize supply chain design, most of which are based on deterministic approaches, see for example [3], [8], [4] and many others. In order to take into account the effects of the uncertainty in the production scenario, a two-stage stochastic model is proposed in this paper. There are a few research works addressing comprehensive (strategic and tactical issues simultaneously) design of supply chain networks using two-stage stochastic models including [6], [9], [1] and [7]. [2] developed a multi-objective stochastic programming approach for designing robust supply chains. Then, they used goal attainment technique, see [5] for details, to solve the resulting multi-objective problem. This method has the same disadvantages as those of goal programming; namely, the preferred solution is sensitive to the goal vector and the weighting vector given by the decision maker, and it is very hard in practice to get the proper goals and weights. To overcome this drawback, we use STEM method in this paper to solve this multi-objective model.
