This research explores the role of Blockchain Technology (BCT) integrated with Reverse Supply Chain Networks (RSCN) and evaluates relationship between BCT sustainability performance. A qualitative design was employed to develop a conceptual framework for in RSCN. collected analysed primary secondary data from four cases as focal-actors. These focal-actors are multi-industries Jordan, namely foo...

spurred by intensifying competition in global markets, most companies have been increasingly implementing supply chain management (scm) and information systems (is) practices. as well, globalization policies have created a more intensive competition amongst manufacturers; in additional the priority of supply over demand, market competition and importance of some factor such as quality, accounta...

Reverse logistics involving closed-loop supply chains in various industry sectors has received growing attention throughout this decade. Reverse logistics considers several channels of reverse material flows from customers to suppliers. The value of product returns now exceeds $100 billion annually in the United States. However, only a small fraction of the returned product value is recaptured ...

In the current competitive and dynamic market, customer demands and interests are changing continuously, and hence, risk of disruption in the supply chain is also increasing. To be successful in this scenario, supply chain of a firm should be resilient. Most of the firms realize that with a specific end goal to develop a resilient supply chain, there is a need for assessment of performance. The...

Previous researchers have developed ways of managing forward-oriented supply chains, and gave insight to solve single-stage inventory systems. In this study, we analyze an inventory system with traditional forward-oriented material flow as well as a reverse material flow supply chain. In the reverse material flow, the used products are returned, remanufactured and shipped to the retailer for re...

In this paper, we study return policy and supply chain coordination in a channel of one supplier and one retailer. The paper assumes that unsold merchandise should been refunded to the supplier by the retailer. The retailer knows the cost of reverse logistics operations but the supplier has to estimate it. The contract menu under asymmetric reverse logistics cost information between supply chai...

Design of a logistics network in proper way provides a proper platform for efficient and effective supply chain management. This paper studies a multi-period, multi echelon and multi-product integrated forward-reverse logistics network under uncertainty. First, an efficient complex mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model by considering some real-world assumptions is developed for the inte...

one of the important problems in project management is lack of available resources in proper time at project site that leads to lack of project implementation in due date. this problem may be lead to time delay in sending resources from suppliers and related origins in supply chain to project site. therfore, to better resources managmenet and also the improvement of supply chain condition, the ...
