Over the years we have witnessed the growing importance of supply chain operations and supply chain management (SCM), as supply chains play a major role in every step of the product life cycle. Therefore, this paper will DEA-based performance evaluation approaches for overall supply chain can be categorized. Future perspectives and challenges are discussed

Supply chains are difficult to plan because they involve complex relationships and dynamically changing variables that influence supply chain performance. In this paper, discrete-event simulation (DES) is evaluated in order to identify its appropriateness as a technique in supply chain planning. A DES model was developed as part of a case study, and is used in this paper to determine whether DE...

Functional relationship between supplier and buyer in an open market place leads to investigate the role of both quantifiable and non-quantifiable parameters in coordination mechanism with the aim of achieving higher performance in supply chain activities. Here, we develop a supply chain model and a new agent to analyze and simulate the players’ behavior in the network. A cooperative game theor...

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...

the purpose of this research is to identify factors and components that affect a trust-based cooperation in the automobile supply chain and their impact on the performance of the supply chain companies. this paper includes 2 parts. in the first part, by studying the research history and literature and interviewing academic and industrial scholars and experts, four hidden variables of trust-base...

This article develops a dynamic game model of a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer to study the coordination mechanism and the effect of demand disruption on the coordination mechanism, where the market demand is sensitive to retail price and service. We assume that the supplier and the retailer only know the distribution of the disrupted amount after the demand disrup...

in this decade, due to the current competitive environment,reputation of industrial brands is markedly dependent upon theperformance of their supply chain. therefore, it is necessary to examinethe factors affecting their supply chain so as to increase the competitivenessof their chain. productivity is among the most important factorsin the advancement of industry and its evaluation requires the...

Efficient inventory management is a complex process which entails the management of the inventory in the whole supply chain. The dynamic nature of the excess stock level and shortage level from one period to another is a serious issue. In addition, consideration of multiple products and more supply chain members leads to very complex inventory management process. Moreover, the supply chain cost...
