Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chain Network Design under Disruption Risks

Sustainable supply chain network design is a rich area for academic research that is still in its infancy and has potential to affect supply chain performance. Increasing regulations for carbon and waste management are forcing firms to consider their supply chains from ecological and social objectives, but in reality, however, facilities and the links connecting them are disrupted from time to ...

An Interdependent Layered Network Model for a Resilient Supply Chain

This paper addresses the problem of designing supply chains that are resilient to natural or human-induced extreme events. It focuses on the development of efficient restoration strategies that aid the supply chain in recovering from a disruption, thereby limiting the impact on its customers. The proposed restoration model takes into account possible disruptions to infrastructures, e.g., transp...

A Network Design Model for a Resilient Closed-Loop Supply Chain with Lateral Transshipment

This paper develops a model for the closed-loop supply chain network design with disruption risk. By considering supply disruption, two factors including extra inventory and lateral transshipment are used as resilience strategies. The main purpose is to reduce the supply chain costs due to the location decisions, quantity of products between different levels and lost sale. Disruption in a suppl...

Reliability of the supply chain: method of self-assessment as a first step to building resilient systems

Measure the reliability of a supply chain is an important step to promote the construction of more resilient chains. The resilience is necessary to guaranty the efficient and secure global movement of goods. This paper proposes an instrument to analysis and evaluates the reliability of a system. Also compare scenarios of reliability between a basic supply chains versus complex systems. Finally ...
