Part of the book series: Atlantis Computational Intelligence Systems ((ATLANTISCIS,volume 6))

Abstract

Strategic decisions related to the design and planning of the supply chain revolve around design of the network. This chapter introduces how genetic algorithms are applied to solve the supply chain network design problem. A classification of the recent research in the field provides a valuable insight into current state of literature and outlines directions for future research.
