Supply Chain Design and Analysis: Models and Methods

For many years, researchers and experts have mainly studied the different processes of supply and construction supply chains separately. But recently, more and more attention has been paid to the performance, design and analysis of supply chains and has become a whole. Much of this attention has been paid to increasing manufacturing costs, reducing manufacturing resources, shortening product life, smoothing construction, and globalizing the market economy. In this paper, the literature focused on multi-stage supply chain modeling is reviewed and then a research program for future research in this field is defined and presented.
