A Simulation-based Approach to Risk Assessment and Mitigation in Supply Chain Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this paper a simulation-based approach to evaluate the risk associated with supply chain disruptions caused by failures in some supply chains nodes and measure the impact of such disruptions on supply chain key performance measures (KPIs) of interest. The proposed framework enables analysts and managers to repeatedly assess the risk to their supply chains based on various simulated scenarios and identify the most critical nodes whose disruption will have the highest impact on the KPIs of interest. As a result, companies can focus on the most critical supply chain assets and develop targeted mitigation plans that minimize their risk. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Optimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach
Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...
متن کاملDesign of Multi-Objective Model for Disruption Risk Assessment of Supply Chain Using Combined Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing
Due to the many risks involved in the supply chain, and the high costs associated with damage to the supply chain, risk identification and evaluation should be a top priority in risk management programs in organizations. Risk assessment and ratings determine the superiority of each risk based on the relevant indicators and thus provide an appropriate response to each risk. In this regard, this ...
