Abstract :
[en] This paper presents a new control chart for monitoring the post optimality of a designed distribution network in a supply chain. The proposed control chart alarms as soon as neither the location nor the capacity nor the number of the current distribution centers are not optimal any longer. The control chart ensures the distribution network satisfies the customers' demands at minimum total costs over time. In fact, it monitors the optimality of the solution today for the problem tomorrow.
