摘要
Unpredictable disruptions (e.g., accidents, traffic conditions, among others) in supply chains (SCs) motivate the development of decision tools that allow designing resilient routing strategies. The transportation problem, for which a model is proposed in this paper, consists of minimizing the stochastic transportation time and the deterministic freight rate. This paper extends a stochastic multi-objective minimum cost flow (SMMCF) model by proposing a novel simulation-based multi-objective optimization (SimMOpt) solution procedure. A real case study, consisting of the road transportation of perishable agricultural products from Mexico to the United States, is presented and solved using the proposed SMMCF-Continuous/SimMOpt solution framework. In this case study, time variability is caused by the inspection of products at the U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry. The results demonstrate that this framework is effective and overcomes the limitations of the multi-objective stochastic minimum cost flow problem (which becomes intractable for large-scale instances).
