The goal is to minimize the objective function of the combined costs in a multi-stage and a multi-level supply chain responding to a stochastic multi-product demand. The simulation using Matlab provides a comparison between classical models and the proposed model, and shows that the Affine Recourse Stochastic Model Predictive Control - AR SMPC offers better results. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/GOL.2014.6887436}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84908611786\&doi=10.1109\%2fGOL.2014.6887436\&partnerID=40\&md5=4a6eec4c578041a83cf910609deb9598}, author = {Kawtar, T. and Said, A. and Youssef, B.} }
