This paper proposes a bi-objective reliable supply chain network design that immunizes the network against different sources of uncertainties. In this regard, scenario based stochastic programming method is applied to model different disruption scenarios affecting accurate performance of network stages. Also, reliable and unreliable facilities are suggested for lessening vulnerability of networ...

With the increasing complexities in supply chains and increasing global trade, integrated supply chain network design is utilized by the firms in order to reduce the overall cost while meeting the customer demand with requisite levels of service. This view of collaborative approach towards supply chain design has the potential of providing competitive edge for the firms in a highly competitive ...

Nowadays, the design of a strategic supply chain network under disruption is one of the most important priorities of the governments. One of the strategic purposes of managers is to supply the sustainable agricultural products and food in stable conditions which require the production of soil nutrients. In this regard, some disruptions such as sanctions and natural disasters have a destructive ...

Supply chain management is an area which gains much attention both from scholars and practitioners when considering the relationship between economic and ecologic issues and goals. Initiatives from Green IT and Green IS are widely discussed and broad supply chain management concepts like Green SCM, which extends the concept of global supply chain management with ecological aspects like resource...

throughout the history, earthquakes led to not only the destruction of many homes and damage to a lot of people, but also homeless of people and in need of medical aid. one of the key issues which have always great importance during the disaster is supply the needed blood of blood units' applicant people. therefore, in this paper with the design of blood supply chain at the time of earthquake d...

Today, information networks play an important role in supply chain management. Therefore, in this article, clustering-based routing protocols, which are one of the most important ways to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, are used to optimize the supply chain informational cloud network. Accordingly, first, a clustering protocol is presented using self-organizing map neu...

The multi-objective optimization for a multi-product multi-period four-echelon supply chain network consisting of manufacturing plants, distribution centers (DCs) and retailers each with uncertain services and uncertain customer nodes are aimed in this paper. The two objectives are minimization of the total supply chain cost and maximization of the average number of products dispatched to custo...

with the growth of public awareness for environmental protection, green production was raised as an important issue for each producer, which will guarantee its activity in long term. creating suppliers, performance assessment system is so necessary and important that it measures suitability of the suppliers for long-term cooperation with the company. many activities have been performed for sele...
