Paper overview
Due to the global sourcing and markets, international companies commonly use multi-echelon supply networks to support their manufacturing and distribution. For example, Wal-Mart and Target have complex supply networks in the United States. When products arrive at international seaports, they are delivered to retail stores through multi-echelon supply networks. The design and management of multi-echelon supply network in today‘s competitive business environment is one of the most important and difficult problems that managers face. Several studies have focused on the area of supply network design. Shen (2007) conducted a complete review of the supply chain design literature and discussed future research topics. Recently, Pujari et al. (2008) used a continuous approximation (CA) procedure to determine the optimal number and size of shipments when considering issues of location, production, inventory, and transportation. Murat et al. (2010) provided a CA framework for solving location-allocation problems with dense demand. Li and Ouyang (2010) provided a continuous approximation approach for solving the reliable facility location design problem under correlated probabilistic disruptions. Murat et al.
