UNCERTAINTIES AND HANDLING METHODS IN SUPPLY CHAIN: A LITERATURE REVIEW

摘要

In this paper, we make an attempt to review literature in supply chain (SC) by uncertainty aspect. Using resource based approach [65], main uncertainty sources which are demand, process and supply of supply chain are taken into account for analysis. Uncertainties are given in detail grouping by main uncertainty sides of supply chain. Problem areas that uncertainties occur are classified. Used techniques to define and handle uncertainties in papers also are analyzed. Solving methods of problems which contain uncertainties in supply chain are showed. In conclusion part, suggestions for future researches are provided based on review.
