Manufacturers play a very important role in this environment. Uncertainty in manufactures is critical in the conquest of their profit. In an uncertainty environment, how a manufacturer to gain their great profit with the least cost is a vital task. The objective of this work was to develop a model to assist manufacturers setting their operational planning under uncertainty environment. This proposed model considers the problem of an optimal decision for production, procurement and outsourcing with the goal of maximizing profit. Demand uncertainty and supply uncertainty are considered in our model simultaneously. The activities carried out in a manufacture have been classified as “core” activities and “non-core” activities for the modeling of outsourcing decision.
