Considering the implications of EU environmental laws such as REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals) and EuP (directive on eco-design of energy-using products) as well as RoHS (restrictions of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) Directive, they have been acquired to advance GSCM (green supply chain management) mo...

In this paper, we establish a dynamic game to allocate CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) to the members of a supply chain. We propose a model of a three-tier supply chain in a decentralized state which includes a supplier, a manufacturer and a retailer. For analyzing supply chain performance in decentralized state and the relationships between the members of the supply chain, we use a Stack...

Conflicting objectives becomes a common issue in many supply chain network optimization problems. In this paper, a new model is formulated to design a green supply chain network through a new mixed integer linear programming problem. Uncertain demand and stochastic environmental respect levels are the main parameters of the formulation. The first objective function minimizes the cost of the sup...

the increasing emphasis on supply chain management (scm) has led researchers to rethink models, constructs, and frameworks for quality management (qm) that have been developed for the field of operations management. in this paper, within the framework of a structural model we investigate how these two supply chain management-related quality practices (customer focus and supplier quality managem...

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...

the study determined optimum inventory levels for various bakery resources using the bread supply chain network in onitsha city. structured questionnaires were administered among bakery factories. the optimum design achieved through the optimization model was compared with the existing systems. analysis of 90 bakeries with a combined capacity of 3960 revealed that total money n 564,408,477.28 i...

we model a real-world case problem as a price competition model between two leader-follower supply chains that each of them consists of one manufacturer and one retailer. t he manufacturer produces partially differentiated products and sells to market through his retailer. the retailer sells the products of manufacturer to market by adding some values to the product and gains margin as a fracti...

Under the circumstances of low-carbon economy, the theoretical applications of the green supply chain management of steel and iron manufacture are to reform and innovate the present manufacturing process, enhance the controlling and reclaiming, and recycling using of the waste steel and iron, steel slag, and dust emissions, establish the green supply chain structure oriented to the cycle of “re...
