This paper designs a mathematical model for supply chain network design problem including plants, distributors and customers in fuzzy environment. Each plant and distributor has several levels capacities. A multi-mode demand strategy is considered for the customers where only one of the modes is to be selected for each customer. Considering the acceptance degree of fuzzy constraints violated, a...

China's urbanization will influence the future world economic development. China's s urbanization rate is from 10.6% in1949 to 53.73% in 2013, and the research center of the experts predict that China's urbanization rate will reach 60% in 2020.The characteristic of China's urbanization is the coordinated development of four modernizations, which includes informatization, industrialization, urba...

Sustainable green technology innovation is essential in all the stages of the supply chain development. The members of the supply chain in each stage need to invest in sustainable green technology innovation research and development. However, whether the sustainable green technology innovation investments and profits for all the members are fairness concerned is a critical factor to motivate th...

Purpose – This literature review provides an overview of the traditional and green supply chain structures, an overview of the traditional and green performance measures and measurement systems. The supply chain infrastructure modelling is discussed from the strategic point of view, e.g. facility location. Different supply chain design models with single and multiple objectives are discussed. T...

one of the most important decisions in supply chain network (scn) design is choosing the optimal location for the facilities. the facilities in scn have different efficiency according to their locations. in this paper, efficiency of facilities is added to the supply chain network design by using data envelopment analysis model, and a multi-objective model is presented for the design of efficien...

While firms understand that implementing green supply chain management (GSCM) is important, they seem uncertain about how to manage their initiatives by looking beyond own facilities. Building a requires the participation of all partner across chain. However, are different in size, situation, capabilities, and even industries. Thus, encouraging them participate difficult. Many small medium ente...

Due to many damages that human activities have imposed on the environment, authorities, manufacturers, and industry owners have taken into account the development of supply chain more than ever. One of the most influential and essential human activities in the supply chain are transportation which green vehicles such as electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to generate higher economic and enviro...

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 ...

today the environmental consequences and earth resources unresponsiveness is transformed to the main concern of human. at the same time increasing environmental pollution and its devastating consequences following that, increased consumer and environmental demand for sustainable products and services must try to reduce pollution caused by industrial development in the form of efforts to impleme...
