Abstract :
This article attempts to cope with one of the most vital strategic
decisions in the supply chain design in terms of manufacturing
context. The issue of finding the best position of Customer Order
Decoupling Point (CODP) in a production line have been taken into
consideration by many researchers in recent years, but locating CODP
along a supply chain has not yet been completely investigated. Here
we present a novel combined DEA/AHP method to tackle the problem
of positioning CODP in a supply chain. Then in order to prove the
applicability of the proposed structure in a real case, the model is
implemented in a food processing supply chain.
