Abstract
This thesis is intended to formulate, solve, and implement a mathematical model that incorporates the concepts of Theory of Constraints (TOC) into multi-echelon supply chain network design under demand uncertainty to determine the optimal location of facilities and the optimal lot size. The objective is to minimize the total cost across the supply chain network as well as to minimize the total inventory capacity at each facility. Results show that applying the TOC reduces the total cost of the whole supply chain by about more than 50%
