چکیده
Riddalls and Bennett (2002) presented a stability criterion for a supply chain model in continuous time. In this short technical note we show this solution is in error and provide the correct stability criterion. The results are substantiated by deriving the correct criterion from with several independent theoretical analyses and validating the solution via numerical simulation. The weight of evidence suggests that the new derivations lead to correct predictions of the stability boundary for this important and widely used supply chain model.

Dynamic Competitive Supply Chain Network Design with Price Dependent Demand and Huff Utility Function
This paper develops a two-stage model to consider a franchise/franchisee environment in which supply chains are simultaneously entering the untapped market to produce either identical or highly substitutable products and give franchise to franchisees. Customer demand is elastic, price dependent and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity rule model. The supply chains, in the first st...
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...
متن کاملAn Optimization Model for Biofuel Supply Chain
Biofuels have attracted much attention as a sutuible substitute for fossil fuels in last decade. Designing an efficient supply chain is an essential requirement for commercialization of biofuel production. This paper presents a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to design biofuel supply chains in which the biofuel demand is under ARMA time series models. It is studied how ARMA time s...
متن کاملA model of brand competition for durable goods supply chains in a dynamic framework
Game theory is an efficient tool to represent and conceptualize the problems concerning conflict and competition. In recent years and especially for durable products, competition between domestic and foreign brands for gaining market share has received a considerable attention. This paper study electronic commerce concepts by differential game theory and introduce a novel and comprehensive mode...
متن کاملA Review Of DEA Approaches For Health Supply Chain
More than 200 papers have been published in the last 20 years on the topic of health supply chains (HSC). Looking at the research methodologies employed, less than 15 papers apply data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. This is in contrast to, for example, A Network Data Envelopment Analysis (NDEA) Model for Supply Chain Performance Evaluation where several reviews on respective NDEA models hav...
