Abstract: This paper addresses the perishable products distribution planning problem based on disruptions. Based on quantification of the quality loss cost caused by the decrease of the quality of perishable products, as regards to the normal operation of the supply chain network and the situation that a node in the supply chain network failure caused by the disruptions, two optimal models were developed to minimize the total cost under constraints of limited resources respectively. Subsequently, the paper designed related algorithms. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the algorithms and the emergency planning based on emergency orders strategy and expansion of the nodes’ capacity strategy proposed in this paper.

Key words: disruptions, perishable products, supply chain planning, emergency orders, expansion of the nodes&rsquo, capacity
