Application of Robust Optimization in leagile Supply Chain

Many supply chain problems are involved with uncertainty in several input parameters where even the distributions of the stochastic parameters are unknown. In this paper, we introduce a mathematical model which incorporates demand and supply with uncertainties for assembly lines with different products. In some cases, assembly lines may use the same raw material or assembly parts which could end up having both shortage and inventory expenditures, simultaneously. The proposed model of this paper is solved by using the recent advances of Robust Optimization Techniques. The implementation of the proposed method is shown using some numerical example and the results are compared with Monte Carlo simulation.
