Résumé : | Background: Growing environmental concerns and the vulnerability of global supply chains to disruptions, such as pandemics, natural disasters, and logistical failures, necessitate the design of sustainable and resilient supply chains. Methods: A novel multi-period mixed-integer linear programming model is developed with the objective of maximizing supply chain profit to design a complete citrus supply chain, which incorporates the production of citrus fruit and juice, and accommodates resilience and sustainability perspectives. Results: A comprehensive citrus supply chain scenario is presented to support the applicability of the proposed model, leveraging real data from citrus supply chain stakeholders in Egypt. Moreover, an actual case study involving a citrus processing company in Egypt is demonstrated. Gurobi software is used to solve the developed model. To build a resilient supply chain which can cope with different disruptions, different scenarios are modeled and strategies for having multiple suppliers, backup capacity, and alternative logistics routes are evaluated. Conclusions: The findings underscore the critical role of resilience in supply chain management, particularly in the agri-food sector. Moreover, the proposed model not only maximizes supply chain profitability but also equips stakeholders with the tools necessary to navigate challenges effectively. |
