Application of Robust Design in a Supply Chain Design Process

The process of supply chain design that will efficiently respond to emerging market demands is of great importance for enterprise competitiveness. Development of methods for the use during the supply chain design process is a research topic not only in scientific community but in industrial also. A method that could be efficiently used during this process has to posses many features. Some of those features are: the appropriateness of the method in order to use it on each of the three supply chain management levels (strategic, tactical and operational), applicability of the method in diverse industrial sectors and maybe the most important feature of all the ability to built-in business environment effects in a supply chain design. In this paper the potential of Robust Design method in a supply chain design process as well as the modelling of a supply chain with the use of method is presented. Modelling is carried out with the use of discrete event simulation and presented on the practical example.
