Title: | A Robust Optimization Approach to Supply Chain Management |
Keywords: | robust optimization approach supply chain management stochastic demand discrete time |
Issue Date: | 9-Oct-2013 |
Description: | We propose a general methodology based on robust optimization to address the problem of optimally controlling a supply chain subject to stochastic demand in discrete time. The attractive features of the proposed approach are: (a) It incorporates a wide variety of phenomena, including demands that are not identically distributed over time and capacity on the echelons and links; (b) it uses very little information on the demand distributions; (c) it leads to qualititatively similar optimal policies (basestock policies) as in dynamic programming; (d) it is numerically tractable for large scale supply chain problems even in networks, where dynamic programming methods face serious dimensionality problems; (e) in preliminary computation experiments, it often outperforms dynamic programming based solutions for a wide range of parameters.
