Abstract In studying petroleum supply chain networks, past studies have largely segregated three critical decision-making aspects: integrated planning, uncertainties, and multi-objective setting. This study focuses on consolidating these aspects proposes a stochastic, multi-objective, mixed-integer linear programming model for strategic tactical planning of downstream (DPSC) networks. Demand, c...

A sustainable alternative to fossil fuels is biomass. The design of cost-efficient biomass networks necessary compete with nonrenewable resources. creation integrated supply chain (BSC) network models and solution procedures can contribute the achievement this goal. In particular, emerging bioenergy industry must take advantage economies scale in transportation minimize final product’s cost. Hu...

strategic programming, complex supply chain, lean, production programming, suppliers selection,   electre this paper represents a model of strategic programming with limited resources in a complex supply chain. the main goal of the proposed model is to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain with respect to income increases and cost decreases. using special objective functions...

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...

A supply chain disruption is an unanticipated event that disrupts the flow of materials in a chain. Any given could have significant negative impact on entire Supply network designs usually consider two stage decision process business environment. The first deals with strategic levels, such as to determine facility locations and their capacity, while second considers tactical level, production ...

This paper studies the effects of information sharing strategies on supply chain performance. We first consider four common types of information sharing strategies for a supply chain of a single product: (1) order information sharing where every stage of the supply chain only knows the orders from its immediate downstream stage; (2) demand information sharing where every stage has full informa...
