In the current design of reverse supply chain, several performance indicators must be considered and treated attentively. At this strategic level of the conception and to ensure a sustainable closed loop green supply chain, many qualitative as well quantitative criteria are taken into consideration with an environmental respect. Since the location allocation study persists as one of the most im...

abstract purpose-the purpose of this paper is to review a sample of the literature relating to interpretive structural modelling (ism) and its deployment for modelling purposes in the area of supply chain management (scm). design/methodology/approach- the literature is examined from the three perspectives. first, concept of ism and examines ism as modelling technique. second, use of ism by the ...

Purpose – Improvement of reverse supply chains requires accurate and timely information about the patterns of consumption. In the consumer context, the ways to generate and access such use-visibility data are in their infancy. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how the Internet of Things (IoT) may be operationalised in the domestic setting to capture data on a consumer’s use of product...

Recently, in most of the condensate tank production projects, two main activities of welding and painting are done in manual and automatic ways. The purpose of this study is "green supply chain management" of these activities in order to select the best production method. For this purpose, by literature reviews and using Delphi and DEMATEL techniques, the indicators and sub-indicators of green ...

Managing the supply chain plays an important role in creating competitive advantages for companies. Adequate information flow in supply chain is one of the most important issues in SCM. Therefore, using certain Information Systems can have a significant role in managing and integrating data and information within the supply chain. Pharmaceutical supply chain is more complex than many other supp...

results responsiveness, effectiveness, and flexibility with eigenvalue of 2.628 were identified as the main aspects of agility in humanitarian health supply chains. the components of visibility, reactivity, and speed were identified as components of responsiveness. quality, reliability, and completeness were identified as components of effectiveness. volume, delivery, mix, and product were know...

Since the mid-2010s, circular economy has emerged as a key conceptual lever in corporate efforts to achieve greater environmental sustainability. Corporations have increasingly drawn upon perspective rethink sustainable supply chain management practices. This new approach is evident an emerging literature that yet be fully documented. In this systematic review of research, bibliometric methods ...

This paper reviews inventory models with multiple supply options and discusses their contribution to supply chain management. After discussing strategic aspects of supplier competition and the role of operational flexibility in global sourcing, inventory models which use several suppliers in order to avoid or reduce the effects of shortage situations are outlined. Further, related inventory pro...
