Supply chain is one of the active application areas in operational research and management science. The success of a company depends on the efficiency of design, manufacture and product distribution in a network. The supply chain is designed to meet consumers’ requirements in an efficient and effective manner and as quickly as possible, one of the most important issues regarding the design of supply chain network is customer satisfaction, this satisfaction is regarded as the organizations’ ultimate goal.
