Plants, distribution centers, and other facilities generally function for years or decades,
during which time the environment in which they operate may change substantially. Costs …

In this paper, we review decision support models for the design of global supply chains, and
assess the fit between the research literature in this area and the practical issues of global …

Mathematical programming models with noisy, erroneous, or incomplete data are common
in operations research applications. Difficulties with such data are typically dealt with …

This book deals with decision making in environments of significant data un certainty, with
particular emphasis on operations and production management applications. For such …

This paper investigates the extent to which supply chain greening and buttressing (building
robustness) strategies are supportive or conflicting. A supply chain design model is …

We reviewed the manuscripts focused on Supply Chain Management that had been
published in Production and Operations Management (POM) over roughly 15 years (1992 to …

Purpose Facility location and re-location decisions are critical managerial decisions in
modern supply chains. Such decisions are difficult in this environment as managers …

In Introduction, I explain the meaning I give to the qualifier term” robust” and justify my
preference for the expression robustness concern rather than robustness analysis, which I …

In this research, we apply robust optimization (RO) to the problem of locating facilities in a
network facing uncertain demand over multiple periods. We consider a multi‐period fixed …

The two most widely considered measures for optimization under uncertainty are minimizing
expected cost and minimizing worst-case cost or regret. In this paper, we present a novel …
