In today’s competitive business environment, the design and management of supply chainnetwork is one of the most important challenges that managers encounter. The supply chain network shouldbe designed for satisfying of customer demands as well as minizing the total system costs. This paper presentsa multi-period multi-stage supply chain network design problem under demand uncertainty. The prob...

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 ...

it is necessary to consider the impact of demand uncertainty to model the comprehensive approach for supply chain network design. this paper presents four echelons, multiple commodity, and strategic–tactical model for designing supply chain network. uncertain demand, transportation mode selection with lead time configuration has been considered. a numerical example has been implemented to verif...

This paper discusses a problem in which  decentralized supply chains enter the market simultaneously with no existing rival chains, shape the supply chains’ networks, and set wholesale and retail prices in a noncooperative manner. All the chains produce either identical or highly substitutable products. Customer demand is elastic and price-dependent. A three-step algorithm is proposed to solve ...

In recent years, the area of corporate sustainability and green supply chain management has been gaining popularity. Corporate Sustainability refers to ensuring that it contributes to a better quality of life today without compromising the quality of life of future generations. Green Supply Chain Management is commonly understood as the integration of environmental thinking into supply chain ma...

In this paper, a bi-level game-theoretic model is proposed to investigate the effects of governmental financial intervention on green supply chain. This problem is formulated as a bi-level program for a green supply chain that produces various products with different environmental pollution levels. The problem is also regard uncertainties in market demand and sale price of raw materials and pro...

This paper proposes a bi-objective reliable supply chain network design that immunizes the network against different sources of uncertainties. In this regard, scenario based stochastic programming method is applied to model different disruption scenarios affecting accurate performance of network stages. Also, reliable and unreliable facilities are suggested for lessening vulnerability of networ...
