Optimizing Software Supply Chains
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The software supply chain is best described as interconnected business processes that enable software products to be developed, converted to SKUs, distributed and provisioned (i.e., licensing and entitlement) to users. Most companies have a unique software supply chain, depending on the business model; but at a very high level, the sequence of steps remains the same. Hardware and high-technology product manufacturers that develop software for their devices/components also manage distinct supply chains for their software and hardware products to meet specific customer demands.

A Robust Modeling Of Inventory Routing In Collaborative Reverse Supply Chains
This paper proposes a robust model for optimizing collaborative reverse supply chains. The primary idea is to develop a collaborative framework that can achieve the best solutions in the uncertain environment. Firstly, we model the exact problem in the form of a mixed integer nonlinear programming. To regard uncertainty, the robust optimization is employed that searches for an optimum answer wi...

For many electronic supply chain networks in the world that can comprise hundreds ofcompanies with several tiers of suppliers and intermediate customers, there are numerous presentingrisks to consider. In the electronic supply chain, the situation are even worse, for the characteristics ofthis supply chain: excessive lean management, global sourcing and the rather more uncertain marketdemand. E...
متن کاملOptimizing a reverse supply chain including transportation, operation, maintenance and remanufacturing costs
Reverse supply chain is a process dealing with the backward flows of used/damaged products or materials. Reverse supply chain includes activities such as collection, inspection, reprocess, disposal and redistribution. A well-organized reverse supply chain can provide important advantages such as economic and environmental ones. In this study, we propose a general framework and formulate a m...
متن کاملA Framework for Optimizing the Supply Chain Performance of a Steel Producer
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is focused on developing, optimizing, and operating efficient supply chains. Efficient supply chains are characterized by cost effective decisions, lean flow and structure, high degree of integration, and well-chosen Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Although there exists a large body of literature on optimizing individual supply chain elements (transportation, di...
متن کاملDeterministic and Metaheuristic Solutions for Closed-loop Supply Chains with Continuous Price Decrease
In a global economy, an efficient supply chain as a main core competency empowers enterprises to provide products or services at the right time in the right quantity, at a low cost. This paper is to plan a single product, multi-echelon, multi-period closed loop supply chain for high-tech products (which have continuous price decrease). Ultimately, considering components rated to procurement, pr...
