Present and Further Researches for Robust Supply Chain Design

Abstract

Uncertainty is inherent feature of supply chain and it can be appeared variety of situations in the internal and external supply chain. Supply chain can’t fulfill the inherent feature when an uncertainty obstructs the flow of information, raw material, finance and disruption of supply chain network. After years of emphasis on responsiveness businesses is now experiencing their uncertainty to supply chain so there is a need for an integrated framework to support the analysis and design of robust supply chains. The purpose of this research is to define the distinct meaning of robust supply chain and propose the further research area for strategic design of supply chain to perform the inherent feature of supply chain under uncertainty.
