Abstract
In recent years, many developments in logistics were connected to the need for information in an efficient supply chain flow. The supply chain is often represented as a network (called a supply chain network, SCN) that is comprised of nodes that represent facilities (suppliers, plants, distribution centers and customers). Arcs connect these nodes along with the production flow. A multi-stage SCN (MSCN) is a sequence of multiple SCN stages. The flow can be only transferred only between two consecutive stages. The proposed MSCN problem is to find the reliability of the MSCN after the choice of facilities (plants and distribution centers) to be opened and the distribution network design which satisfied the demand with minimum cost.
