Abstract: This article deals with one of the most vital strategic decisions in supply chain design, in terms of manufacturing context. The issue of finding the best position of customer order decoupling point (CODP) in a production line has been taken into consideration by many researchers in recent years, but locating CODP along a supply chain has not yet been completely investigated. Here, a novel combined DEANP method is presented to tackle the problem of positioning CODP in a supply chain. Then in order to prove the applicability of the proposed structure in a real case, the model is implemented in a food processing supply chain.
