Decision support for selecting the optimal product unpacking location in a retail supply chain

A Multi-Product Inventory Model for Selecting the First and Second Layers of Suppliers in a Supply Chain

In recent years, Supplier evaluation and selection, an important element in supply chain management, has been gaining attention in both academic literature and industrial practice. The Mixed integer multi-Objective non-Linear programming model (MIMONLP) presented in this paper aimed to evaluate and select the appropriate set of suppliers considering quantitative and qualitative criteria and in ...

A queuing-location model for in multi-product supply chain with lead time under uncertainty

Supply chain network design (SCND) problem has recently been gaining attention because an integrated management of the supply chain (SC) can reduce the unexpected/undesirable events and can affect definitely the efficiency of all the chain. A critical component of the planning activities of a manufacturing firm is the efficient design of its SC. Hence, SCND affords a sensitive platform for effi...

A Fuzzy Based Decision Support System For Supply Chain Disruption Management

Among the supply chain risk types, disruptions that result from natural disasters, sanctions, transportation problems and equipment failure can seriously disrupt or delay the flow of material, information and cash. The aim of this research was to propose a hybrid model for disruption management, which is the process of achieving plans or strategies to reduce the expenses incurred by the disrupt...

Decision Support Technique for Supply Chain Management

In this paper, we propose a method for supporting decision makers in the domain of supply chain management. Our objective is the global optimization instead of optimizing independent subsystems of the supply chain. The method architecture is based on combination of the simulation and optimization techniques which includes a multi-objectives optimization module and a simulation module. The optim...
