one of the most important issues in supply chain management in different companies, including automotive part manufacturing companies, is evaluation and selection of suppliers. this action is depended on quality management system requirements that must be based on performance and actual ability of suppliers. the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) is one of the most widely used method in the field...

⎯In this study, two (or more) supply chains where the suppliers share information on their production, inventory and delivery status are considered. Due to uncertain supplier deliveries and lead time, horizontal supplier coordination is implemented to reduce lead time and deliveries uncertainty, and thus the safety inventory due to risk pooling effect. As a result, the total system profit incre...

Project forms of organizing are theorized to rely upon horizontal as opposed to vertical lines of authority, but few have examined how this shift affects progression—how people advance in an organization. We argue that progression without hierarchy unfolds when people assume lateral authority over project tasks without managing people. With a longitudinal study of a mature, collectively managed...

in recent years, supply chain management has developed into one of the most critical strategies for achieving competitive advantage in different industries and the supplier selection process has increasingly been distinguished as an important and vital decision in supply chain management of manufacturing and service industries. on the other hand, with so many suppliers having different capabili...

The design, construction and commissioning of a modern third-generation synchrotron light source facility is a major project, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. The delivery of these new facilities, usually on a fixed budget and schedule, requires an effective working relationship with all suppliers providing equipment and services to the project. This paper will examine some of the key i...

The objectives of this experiment were to investigate the application of new ligands including different atoms & evaluation their nucleophile effects against various metals. Chemistry researchers are really interested in this field. From among various ligands, there are some ligands with different coordinating ligands as well. There are great number of intermediate complexes and major elements ...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the dynamics of management and control in collaborations with suppliers of critical technology. Design/methodology/approach – Three collaborative product development projects at a system integrator in the Telecom industry were studied. The data was collected through 22 semi-structured interviews and a workshop at the studied company and its suppli...
