We present a scenario decomposition framework based on Lagrangean decomposition for the multi-product, multi-period, supply investment planning problem considering network design and discrete capacity expansion under demand uncertainty. We also consider a risk measure that allows to reduce the probability of incurring in high costs while preserving the decomposable structure of the problem. To solve the resulting large-scale two-stage mixed-integer stochastic linear programming problem we propose a novel Lagrangean decomposition scheme, and compare different formulations for the non-anticipativity conditions. In addition, we present a new hybrid algorithm for updating the Lagrangean multiplier set based on the combination of cutting-plane, subgradient and trust-region strategies. Numerical results suggest that different formulations of the non-anticipativity conditions have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithm. Moreover, we observe that the proposed hybrid approach has superior performance in terms of faster computational times when compared with the traditional subgradient algorithm.
