N2 - Recent natural disasters around the country and the world have forced local, state and federal governments to reexamine their critical infrastructure and assess its resilience to man-made and natural disasters. In this paper, we explore strategies for creating robust supply chain networks that are resilient to disruptions. The paper explores the robustness of the supply chain network by making tradeoffs between performance before disruptions occur and after disruptions occur. Specifically, total distance before and after failures are weighed against the costs associated with opening more facilities. In this paper, with the use of Monte-Carlo simulation and visualization techniques we present an approach that allows decision makers to understand how the failure of facilities impacts their distance.
