Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
Now days supply chain systems operate in an operational environment with high uncertainty. Customer globalization, increase of natural and manmade disasters, outsourcing in far distances have
increased uncertainty. Flexibility as a capability can help systems included supply chains respond to uncertainty and deliver value to their users. auto supply chain is the one that has suffered from these disasters. This paper encapsulates operational environment uncertainty through scenario development, then scores the scenarios based on some proxies. Design structure matrix is proposed to show the typical auto supply chain relationships before scenario occurring consequences and after that. in the next step, dendrogram is used for clustering, each cluster is a combination of system components. then based on some MOE and MOP measures, feasible options is proposed for most sensitive region of the supply chain, so that it can do its original mission objectives at the time of occurring unprecedented changes.
