Uncertainty propagation of large-scale discrete supply chains can be prohibitive when numerous events occur during the simulated period and when discrete-event simulations (DES) are costly. We present a time-bucket method to approximate and accelerate the DES of supply chains. Its stochastic...

In studying petroleum supply chain networks, past studies have largely segregated three critical decision-making aspects: integrated planning, uncertainties, and multi-objective setting. This study focuses on consolidating these aspects and proposes a stochastic, multi-objective, mixed-integer...
