Recovery Strategy Considering Product Changes and Life Cycle
摘要
To address long-term supply chain (SC) disruptions caused by COVID-19, this chapter integrates two mitigation strategies: product change and emergency procurement, while incorporating product life cycle (PLC) and design change time. A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed to maximize manufacturer profit, considering backorder compensation, lost sales, and multi-echelon SC structures (suppliers-manufacturer-distribution centers-clients). A two-stage heuristic algorithm solves the model efficiently. Numerical experiments verify that the strategy effectively reduces profit losses by adapting to PLC stages (introduction/growth/maturity) and balancing supply-demand dynamics. Sensitivity analysis confirms robustness to key parameters like change cost and production capacity. This work provides a practical tool for SC resilience under prolonged disruptions.
