A Bayesian Network Based Approach for Risk Modeling to Aid in Development of Sustainable Biomass Supply Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
If lignocellulosic biomass is to become a viable competitor with fossil based resources for the production of energy and chemical products, sustainable sources of this material must be established. To address this issue an understanding about the risks affecting biomass sources and the biorefineries which they supply is crucial. In this paper, a quantitative approach using Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) to model and analyze risks in a biorefinery’s biomass supply chain is presented. Centralized aggregated corn stover supply locations and an integrated biorefinery located in Kentucky’s Jackson Purchase Region are considered as a case study for demonstrating the approach.

متن کاملDevelopment of a Hybrid Model for the Evaluation of Sustainable Supply Chains using Dynamic Network Data Envelopment Analysis
Developing realistic models for the evaluation of sustainable supply chains has turned into a major challenge facing managers. The decision-making approaches proposed here consist of two stages. At the first stage, a dynamic-network data envelopment analysis (DNDEA) model is established for the first time, wherein the current efficiency of a business can be influenced by its prior social and en...

The revenue management concept and techniques are applied to model the coordination of supply chain elements. The fundamental premise of this approach is synchronization of a group of business entities consist-ing of a manufacturer and multiple suppliers to achieve an optimal supply chain capacity plans. The output of the supply chain can be various products and thus it is measured in terms of ...
