Simulation-Based Studies on Dynamic Sourcing of Customers under Random Supply Disruptions
Abstract
Dynamic sourcing is a kind of flexible sourcing strategy in which a customer can be temporarily served by other source(s) when its assigned source is disrupted or out of stock. It is similar to contingent sourcing ("a tactic in which the firm turns to a backup supplier in the event of a failure at its normal supplier" as defined in Tomlin, 2009) that has been studied in many research works but is mainly under multiple customer-multiple source settings, whereas existing research on contingent sourcing focuses on single customer-multiple source problems.
