Titre de la thèse :
« Supply chain network design under demand uncertainty »
Résumé :
Due to the increasing volatility and complexity of global markets, the design and management of supply chains has become crucial in the success of a company. Supply chain network design decisions (i.e. number and location of facilities), have a significant impact on the performance of the company in the long term, and are directly affected by demand uncertainty. Mathematical models are an essential tool for companies to manage their supply chain efficiently, and thereby to reduce costs (e.g. facility, inventory, transportation) and to improve customer service. The purpose of this thesis is to provide different supply chain design models, integrating location and inventory decisions, that address the impact of demand uncertainty from different points of view. The ultimately goal is to provide managerial insights that may support the decision-making process in the supply chain design phase, and may allow to mitigate the impact of demand uncertainty.
