Measurement and optimization of robust stability of multiclass queueing networks: Applications in dynamic supply chains

► We analyse robust stability of multiclass queueing networks. ► We present a measure quantifying the robustness which is indicated by a single number. ► We provide a characterization of expected values shifts that destabilize the network. ► A mathematical program can be used to find a robust production capacity allocation. ► The approach provides a new view on long-term robust production capacity planning.
