Among the major sources of energy supply systems, hydroelectric power plants are more common. Energy supply during peak hours and less environmental issues are some of the most important advantages of hydroelectric power plants. In this study, designing parameters to supply maximum amount of energy was determined by using the simulation-optimization perspective and combination of IWO-WEAP model...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology offers the possibility of significantly enhancing tool management and tool procurement process. We present an exploratory project in which we study the role of RFID in spare parts supply chain management. We discuss integration of information captured using RFID at various levels in the supply chain including procurement, Enterprise Resource Plan...

This research develops a causal-predictive model for predicting the supplier performance due to buyer-initiated supplier process improvement (SPI). SPI is one type of supply chain collaboration that focuses on process improvement. It is a common practice in supply chains that are driven by a powerful buyer firm. Drawing upon the supply chain management and process improvement literature, we rel...

Many nations have committed to achieving carbon neutrality combat climate change, but little is known about its drivers at the micro level and implications for firm performance supply chain management. To address knowledge gap, this research conducts case studies of seven early movers in initiative by exploring key drivers, influential stakeholders effects institutional pressures. We find four ...

In this study, we examine the fundamental components of RFID technology in a comprehensive supply chain strategy that directly support the effectiveness and efficiency of supply chain management. We examine the appropriate business processes affected by the RFID technology, the required planning and examination for successful implementation, and many potential impacts on effectiveness and effic...
