Abstract

This paper presents a numerical study on supply chain optimization using Dynamic Bayesian Networks. The optimization of supply chains is crucial in today's complex and dynamic business environment. However, existing research faces challenges in effectively modeling and optimizing supply chain processes due to their dynamic and uncertain nature. This study addresses this gap by introducing Dynamic Bayesian Networks as a novel approach to model the relationships and uncertainties in supply chain operations. The innovative aspect of this work lies in the development of a framework that integrates Dynamic Bayesian Networks with optimization algorithms to enhance supply chain performance. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for practitioners and researchers seeking to improve supply chain efficiency and resilience.
