Abstract
Pre-COVID-19, most of the supply chains functioned with more capacity than demand. However, COVID-19 changed traditional supply chains' dynamics, resulting in more demand than their production capacity. This article presents a multiobjective and multiperiod supply chain network design along with customer prioritization, keeping in view price discounts and outsourcing strategies to deal with the situation when demand exceeds the production capacity. Initially, a multiperiod, multiobjective supply chain network is designed that incorporates prices discounts, customer prioritization, and outsourcing strategies. The main objectives are profit and prioritization maximization and time minimization. The introduction of the prioritization objective function having customer ranking as a parameter and considering less capacity than demand and outsourcing differentiates this model from the literature. A four-valued neutrosophic multiobjective optimization method is introduced to solve the model developed. To validate the model, a case study of the supply chain of a surgical mask is presented as the real-life application of research. The research findings are useful for the managers to make price discounts and preferred customer prioritization decisions under uncertainty and imbalance between supply and demand. In future, the logic in the proposed model can be used to create web application for optimal decision-making in supply chains.

期刊介绍:
Big Data is the leading peer-reviewed journal covering the challenges and opportunities in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating vast amounts of data. The Journal addresses questions surrounding this powerful and growing field of data science and facilitates the efforts of researchers, business managers, analysts, developers, data scientists, physicists, statisticians, infrastructure developers, academics, and policymakers to improve operations, profitability, and communications within their businesses and institutions.
Spanning a broad array of disciplines focusing on novel big data technologies, policies, and innovations, the Journal brings together the community to address current challenges and enforce effective efforts to organize, store, disseminate, protect, manipulate, and, most importantly, find the most effective strategies to make this incredible amount of information work to benefit society, industry, academia, and government.
Big Data coverage includes:
Big data industry standards,
New technologies being developed specifically for big data,
Data acquisition, cleaning, distribution, and best practices,
Data protection, privacy, and policy,
Business interests from research to product,
The changing role of business intelligence,
Visualization and design principles of big data infrastructures,
Physical interfaces and robotics,
Social networking advantages for Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Google, etc,
Opportunities around big data and how companies can harness it to their advantage.
