Value-based performance and risk management in supply chains: A robust optimization approach

摘要

Integrated performance and risk management is the key lever to increase shareholder value holistically. In this paper, we develop a corresponding framework for value-based performance and risk optimization in supply chains. Economic Value Added (EVA) as a prevalent metric of value-based performance is applied to mid-term sales and operations planning (S&OP). Robust optimization methods are utilized to deal with operational risks in physical and financial supply chain management due to the uncertainty of future events. Multiple aspects of robustness and general implications of the framework are highlighted using a case-oriented numerical analysis.
