Abstract: Abstract A typical global supply chainSupply chain global in modern industry is a network of multiple part suppliers at different geographical locations and multiple production plants and distribution centers, where supplied parts are assembled into finished products and next distributed to customers. Figure 1.1 shows a schematic diagram of a supply chain network, Supply chain network where each vertical level (suppliers, producers, distribution centers, customers) is called an echelon, and the arcs represent material flows. In order to achieve a high customer service level at a low cost, a variety of complex, interconnected decision-making problems should be solved. The decision-making problems are strictly associated with the control and optimization of material flows (as well as financial and information flows) in the network, in particular, optimization of disrupted flows.
