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...

Supply chain management is a popular trend for intensive global competition, and the performance analysis plays an important role in improving supply chain. This paper introduces the basic of the supply chain management and performance analysis. We emphasize the importance of building the performance analysis system to evaluate the entire supply chain. Via reviewing the characteristics of suppl...

A supply chain consists of different processes and when conducting supply chain re-design is necessary

This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...

This paper describes requirements for an integrated supply chain system simulator with the focus on production activities within the system. This paper includes the following contents: (1) Identification of supply chain planning problems over various operational strategies, (2) Operational strategy for supply chain management, and (3) Requirements and design issues for a generic supply chain si...

Recent papers in the concept of Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) have seen a rapid development in applying the stochastic models to get closer to real-world applications. Regaring the special characteristics of each product, the stracture of SCND varies. In tire industry, the recycling and remanufacturing of scraped tires lead to design a closed-loop supply chain. This paper proposes a two-st...

The design of closed-loop supply chain networks has attracted increasing attention in recent decades with environmental concerns and commercial factors. Due to the rapid growth of knowledge and technology, the complexity of the supply chain operations is increasing daily and organizations are faced with numerous challenges and risks in their management. Most organizations with limited resources...

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 ...

A continuous increase in the world population and reduction quantity quality of resources is putting enormous pressure on nations to ensure a balance between food demand supply. The same highlighted at number two United Nations’ sustainable development goals as Zero Hunger goal. However, significant portion produced worldwide damaged or wasted supply chain. This study focuses minimizing waste c...
