Competitive Supply Chain Network Design for Markets with Deterministic Demands

In this paper we present a model for supply chain network design with anticipating variable delivered prices competition in markets under deterministic and pricedependantdemands and with rivals presence. The objective is to design a new chain under a capacity constraint in orderto maximize the future profit of the chain in the competingmarkets. The structure of the network of the new chain is assumed to be set once and fo•· all as a strategic decision,then the price adjustment is possible throughout the course of the competition as decision in the operation level.
