Abstract: 
The main aim of this article is to propose a new supply chain (SC) design methodology in order to enable organizations to better utilize their resources and structure their SC drivers to achieve the desired level of responsiveness and efficiency. A great challenge in this endeavor is that the SC drivers, which are categorized as logistical and cross-functional, are interrelated and have different (often conflicting) performance measures. By combining the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) with weighted binary goal programming (GP), this article introduces a two-stage approach to SC design. At the initial stage, the AHP model attempts to develop weights for the efficiency and responsiveness of the overall SC design as well as the individual SC drivers. These weights are subsequently used in the latter stage to construct a GP model to determine the optimal set of SC-driver decisions that would develop the overall satisfactory SC design.
