the manufacturing organizations today are having a competition of supply chain versus supply chain. existing research work fails to relate human metrics with supply chain performance. the authors intend to empirically assess the effects of human metrics on supply chain performance in the context of indian manufacturing organizations. a rigorous literature review has identified 12 variables. the...

The paper presents simulation-based methodology for analysis and optimisation of multiechelon supply chain planning policies over the product life cycle. It is aimed to analyse an efficiency of a specific planning policy at the product life cycle phases and to optimise the cyclic planning policy at the product maturity phase. Specific software prototypes and applications are described in the pa...

nowadays, in turbulent and violate global markets an agile supply chain (asc) network is frequently considered as a dominant competitive advantage for survival. to achieve the competitive advantage, companies must align with suppliers and customers to streamline operations, as well as agility beyond individual companies. there are many definitions and models about agile supply chain and most of...

regarding to the diversified needs of domestic and global customers and various products of domestic and global competitors, importance of agility in supply chain management becomes more important. suppliers have to provide materials and essential resources of manufacturers in a short time without any lead time.in this research, we identified many criteria for agility in sanitation supply chain...

The European seed business of Syngenta relies on its supply chain to supply seed products to the different European markets, which led to more than 1.2 billion USD revenues in 2013. The seed supply chain is, however, exposed to a high level of uncertainty – from the demand side as well as from the supply side. Determining optimal production volumes in a highly volatile environment and more than...

In order to compete successfully, operations in any type of firm need to be strategically aligned to the market requirements. This concerns both manufacturing and supply chain operations. The customer order decoupling point (CODP) is getting increasing attention as an important input to the design of manufacturing operations aswell as supply chains. This paper investigates the impact of the pos...

Supply chain performances have been touted as improving the performance of organizations which participates in advance planning system. As a result, managers not only to re-establish their companies produce higher-quality products and services, decrease waste, respond rapidly market, but also handle supply efficiently. However, has received attention focused on adaptation technology facilitate ...

A revenue sharing contract is one of the mechanisms that coordinate decision makers in a decentralized supply chain toward the consensual goal. The transfer prices between different echelons in the supply chain influence the total supply chain profits. The study aims to explore various transfer pricing heuristics on the supply chain coordination in terms of the supply chain profits and their in...

in this study, a bi-objective model for integrated planning of production-distribution in a multi-level supply chain network with multiple product types and multi time periods is presented. the supply chain network including manufacturers, distribution centers, retailers and final customers is proposed. the proposed model minimizes the total supply chain costs and transforming time of products ...

Given constantly fluctuating market demands, short life cycles of products and global market trends, companies must effectively design, produce and deliver products and services (Christopher & Juttner, 2000). A Supply Chain Management (SCM) system involves managing and coordinating all activities associated with goods and information flows from those raw materials sourcing to product delivery a...
