Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...

Global trade of finished goods as well as global sourcing of components and raw material is gaining importance. The paper aims to investigate the impact of trade agreements and tariffs on global Supply Chains and to describe the implications for strategic supply chain management decisions in terms of supplier selection and plant locations. The present system of trade agreements and tariffs amon...

in recent years, there has been a great concern about strategic supply chain management. the supply chain configuration approach is related to strategic management of material and information flows. most of suggested configurations in the part of strategic direction are based on environmental factors and structure-conduct-performance approach. exploring supply chain configuration with emphasis ...

Abstract. Wind power is a vital ingredient for energy system transformation in line with the Paris Agreement. Limited land availability onshore wind parks and higher speeds over sea make offshore increasingly attractive. While variability on different timescales poses challenges planning integration, little focus has been given to multi-decadal variability. Our research therefore focuses charac...

Many risks existing in the supply chain of green construction projects are poorly managed by traditional non-collaborative approaches leading to problems such as higher prices, inappropriate indoor environment quality, technological failures and legal battles that in turn adversely affect all stakeholders. To reduce the cases of failure in the green construction industry, it is necessary for su...

Supply chain risk management (SCRM) has become a critical component of supply chain management with the movement to global supply chains and the increasing occurrence of internal and external risk events. Effective management of supply chain risks requires a comprehensive yet rapid assessment of all the risk factors in the supply chain and their potential impacts. This paper presents a software...

The benefit of integrating product design decisions and supply chain design decisions has been recognized by researchers. Such integration can facilitate better communication between design teams and operations groups. Consequently, potential supply chain risks can be highlighted and addressed before the launch of a new product. Modularization is one of the most critical elements for both produ...

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) refers to multi-party systems that enables saving encrypted data across a peer-to-peer network of nodes, without central authority. While DLT applications have been mainly studied in finance, we conduct empirical research on application supply chain management, combining theory testing and elaborating case research. Applying the Theory Affordance Actualisatio...
