The determination of the cash to cash cycle (C2C) for supply chains provides concrete and practical means to integrate financial flow into the scope of supply chain management. In this study we propose that segmenting benchmarked companies in accordance to its corresponding role in their supply chain enhances established methodology for conducting more accurate C2C Benchmarking. This paper cont...

In the era of globalization and outsourcing, Supply Chain Management (SCM) has become one of the leading business strategies for a company to gain competitiveness in the global market. To manage the supply chain efficiently and effectively, many companies realize the need for accurate SCM performance measurement.

this paper is focused on the tactical design of steel supply chain (ssc). a general mathematical model is proposed to integrate production and transportation planning in multi-commodity ssc. the main purpose is to prepare a countrywide production and distribution plan in an ssc with three layers consisting of iron ore mines as suppliers, steel companies as producers, and subsidiary steel compan...

The interest in supply chain networks and their analysis as complex systems is rapidly growing. The physical approach to the topic of production networks relies on the concept of heterogeneous interacting agents. The interaction among agents is considered as a repeated process of orders and production. The dynamics of production in the supply chain network which we observe is nonlinear due to t...

aBstraCt In this document it is analyzed the importance of contracts for coordination between two companies in a supply chain. In the studied situation, one company, or supplier, supplies one product to the other company, who is a retailer. The companies are going to coordinate by two types of decisions: economic (concerning prices fixed on a contract), and physical exchange (concerning the inv...

Although many companies have implemented ERP systems to track and share information across cross functional business processes, they often supplement them with legacy, custom, or best of breed applications to support supply chain execution and management. This article offers a framework for understanding all types of enterprise applications that support the supply chain. In this study, the auth...

Supply Chain Formation involves determining the participants and the exchange of goods within a production network. Today’s companies operate autonomously, making local decisions, and coordinating with other companies to buy and sell goods along their Supply Chains.
