讲座简介：

Fortifying facilities within a supply chain network can mitigate facility failures due to natural and/or human-caused disruptions. In this research, we study an r-interdiction median problem with fortification (RIMF) that simultaneously considers two types of disruption risks: random, or naturally-caused, facility failures and facility failures due to human-caused attacks such as cyber-attacks. The problem is to determine the allocation of limited facility fortification resources to an existing network. Firstly, we model the problem as a bi-level programming model that generalizes the r-interdiction median problem with probabilistic fortification. The lower level problem, i.e., the interdiction problem, is a challenging high-degree non-linear model. In the literature, only enumeration methods are applied to solve a special case of the problem. By exploring the special structural property of the problem, we propose an exact cutting plane method for the problem. For the high level fortification problem, an effective logic based Benders decomposition algorithm is proposed. Secondly, we build an agent-based simulation model to study RIMF. We develop a simulation model that analyzes disruption and fortification events in a manner resembling a repeated Stackelberg competition, where facility fortification decisions are made anticipating disruptions. The most important facilities - facilities which result in the largest incurred transportation cost if they were to fail/be disrupted - are fortified. Finally, computational studies are conducted.
