Selecting new product designs and processing technologies under uncertainty: two-stage stochastic model and application to a food supply chain
TLDR
A two-stage stochastic mixed integer linear programming model is presented that integrates the selection of new product designs and processing technologies in a supply chain context and shows that flexible technologies are selected that can be used to produce different product designs.About:
