The paper focuses on Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) under uncertainty. We propose a SCND method extending an approach originally proposed by some of the authors for supplier ranking. The novel method integrates the cross-efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and fuzzy set theory to manage the SCND problem considering nondeterministic input and output data. After ranking all the actors belonging to each SCN stage, a linear integer programming model is stated and solved for each pair of subsequent SC stages to maximize the overall SCN efficiency, while respecting the available capacity at each node and satisfying customers' demand. A case study is presented to show the technique effectiveness.

Abstract
The paper focuses on Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) under uncertainty. We propose a SCND method extending an approach originally proposed by some of the authors for supplier ranking. The novel method integrates the cross-efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and fuzzy set theory to manage the SCND problem considering nondeterministic input and output data. After ranking all the actors belonging to each SCN stage, a linear integer programming model is stated and solved for each pair of subsequent SC stages to maximize the overall SCN efficiency, while respecting the available capacity at each node and satisfying customers' demand. A case study is presented to show the technique effectiveness.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
