“…More recently, researchers highlight that considering flexibility is the key toward resilient and agile supply chain design (Kamalahmadi and Mellat-Parast 2015;Garcia-Herreros et al 2014). Improving flexibility prepares SC to adapt to an environment with foreseen and unforeseen changes (Husdal 2010;Sheffi and Rice 2005).…”

The efficient and effective response to disasters critically depends on humanitarian supply chains (HSCs). HSCs need to be flexible to adapt to uncertainties in needs, infrastructure conditions, and behavior of other organizations. The concept of 'network flexibility' is, however, not clearly defined. The lack of an unanimous definition has led to a lack of consistent understanding and comparisons. This paper makes a threefold contribution: first, it defines the concept of network flexibility for HSC in the context of sudden onset disasters. Second, it proposes a framework to measure network flexibility in HSCs. Third, we apply our framework to the 2015 Nepal earthquake case and provide evidence-based insights regarding how humanitarian organizations can improve network flexibility in HSCs. Our analyses for Nepal case show that delivery, IT support, and fleet criteria have the most influence on flexibility. Also, the application of our framework on the downstream network of nine humanitarian organizations shows low levels of network flexibility in all but one. This finding explains why several disruptions happened in relief distributions during the Nepal response.

“…They proposed an MINLP formulation and considered it by a case study. Garcia-Herreros et al (2014) In their model, two efficient queuing systems are applied in nylon plastic manufacturing and recycling centers, in which a Jackson network is also used. The aims are to minimize the average tardiness to deliver products, total cost and transportation cost.…”

This study investigates the reliable multi-configuration capacitated logistics network design problem (RMCLNDP) under system disturbances, which relates to locating facilities, establishing transportation links, and also allocating their limited capacities to the customers conducive to provide their demand on the minimum expected total cost (including locating costs, link constructing costs, and also expected costs in normal and disturbance conditions). In addition, two types of risks are considered; (I) uncertain environment, (II) system disturbances. A two-level mathematical model is proposed for formulating of the mentioned problem. Also, because of the uncertain parameters of the model, an efficacious possibilistic robust optimization approach is utilized. To evaluate the model, a drug supply chain design (SCN) is studied. Finally, an extensive sensitivity analysis was done on the critical parameters. The obtained results show that the efficiency of the proposed approach is suitable and is worthwhile for analyzing the real practical problems.

“…The problem assumes that all facilities have the same associated probability (q) of being disrupted. The (RFLP) formulation has been adapted by Garcia-Herreros et al (2014) to include the capacity design of facilities. In this setting, investment costs have two components: fixed-charges and variable charges proportional to the capacity.…”

We describe a decomposition algorithm that combines Benders and scenariobased Lagrangean decomposition for two-stage stochastic programming investment planning problems with complete recourse, where the first-stage variables are mixedinteger and the second-stage variables are continuous. The algorithm is based on the cross-decomposition scheme and fully integrates primal and dual information in terms of primal-dual multi-cuts added to the Benders and the Lagrangean master problems for each scenario. The potential benefits of the cross-decomposition scheme are demonstrated with an illustrative case study for a facility location problem under disruptions, where the underlying LP relaxation is weak, and hence, multicut Benders decomposition converges only slowly. If the LP relaxation is improved by adding a tightening constraint, the performance of multi-cut Benders decomposition improves but the cross-decomposition scheme stays competitive and outperforms Benders for the largest problem instance.Keywords Cross-decomposition · Two-stage stochastic programming · Investment planning MotivationTwo-stage stochastic programming investment planning problems (Birge and Louveaux, 2011) can be hard to solve since the resulting deterministic equivalent programs can lead to very large-scale problems. There are two main approaches, which
