Abstract：Due to problems in network design and resilient management of closed-loop supply chain,an integrative framework is established,integrating resilient member selection/pre-warning/manufacturing and recycle/resilient inventory operation/resilient congestion delay/resilient transportation. Then a competitive multi-sourcing network with resilient management is established based on a general operational model of supply chain. According to the potential risk of the various distributors'failure,a multiple-source closed-loop supply with resilient management is made use of. It is found that the benefit of manufacturer S1 with patent protection will be impacted by the change of multi-level expectation tolerance,but can be improved by the redesigned pre-warning security.
