One renewable energy form currently being promoted is that of biodiesel asa substitute for diesel fuel. This involves mixing with petrodieselin proportions governed by the respective regulations each country. Thepurposes this research are to support exploiting forms ofrenewable and optimize palm oil-sourced supply chainby conducting an Indonesia-based case study. The optimization process wasimp...

In this paper, we develop a framework for robust supply chain design i.e. to build supply chains, which can handle disruptive events with minimal loss. There are two obvious steps to handle exceptions: (1) to design chains with built in risk-tolerance and (2) to contain the damage once the undesirable event has occurred. In this paper, we consider design of robust (to risks) supply chains. Firs...

Designing the right supply chain that meets the requirements of sustainable development is a significant challenge. Although there are a considerable number of studies on issues relating to sustainable supply chain design (SSCD) in terms of designing the practices, processes, and structures, they have rarely demonstrated how these components can be aligned to form an effective sustainable suppl...

1. Abstract The choice of reference processes during the design phase is of utmost importance for a supply chains’ overall performance. Nonetheless practical experience gained in consulting projects provides numerous examples of unaligned processes. Thus the research project to be presented in this paper is aimed at establishing an easy to use framework for aiding decision makers faced with thi...

In this paper, we apply the theory of optimal control and theory of tra¢ c assignment for supply chain design in perfect competition. We model the time staging and generalized routing of input factors needed for production by a …rm. The production process will typically involve several stages, and as such is described by paths through a production network whose nodes are the various stages of p...

In der Arbeit werden zunächst aktuelle Auforderungen an die Gestaltung und die Steuerung von Leistungsverstellungsprozessen innerhalb und zwischen Unternehmen formuliert. Als Schwerpunkte werden die Betonung des taktischen Prozessmanagements und des Risikomanagements im Rahmen der Leistungserstellung identifiziert. Anschließend werden aktuelle Konzepte zur Gestaltung und Bewertung von (unterneh...

The aim of this study is to propose a new model of the extended supply chain where design of new products is integrated into the process of designing the supply chain. The paper deals with a recent approach that tackles the product and the supply chain design issues at the same time and proposes a methodology of an optimal design of the product and its extended supply chain. We also propose UML...

Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is developed and maintained by the Supply Chain Council (SCC). The model is a reference model which can be utilized to map benchmark and improve the supply chain operations. SCOR model provides companies with a basic process modeling tool, an extensive benchmark database by defining a set of supply chain metrics. This paper explains the process and...
