Abstract (EN): In the automotive industry, supply chain design strongly depends on the dynamics of markets that lead to high levels of uncertainty. This aspect has been often neglected in the literature. This work aims at fulfilling this gap by proposing a model that considers the interest rates as an uncertainty factor. The developed stochastic model takes into account the specific features of the global automotive supply chain and it aims at supporting strategic and tactical decision-making. A small case study based on a real situation has been tested. Preliminary results show the potential of the approach in this type of problems.
