In today’s highly globalized and interconnected world, an end-to-end view of supply chain is vital to understand and manage supply chain risks. These risks are classified broadly into two categories: operational risk and disruptive risks. The firms have to plan their strategy in a way in which they can overcome these risks and fulfill the customers demand. In order to maintain the supply chain ...

On the basis of equal cooperation between project-based enterprises, the project-based supply chain cross-organizational dynamic reputation incentives model was established in consideration of the implicit reputation factors to the contractor’s incentive influence, and the impaction between control objective effect level, bargaining power and project value-adding was detailed analysed, especial...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a multitiered dynamic supply chain network equilibrium modeling framework in which the decision-makers have sufficient information about the future and seek to determine their optimal plans that maximize their profits over the multiperiod planning horizon. We construct the finite-dimensional variational inequality governing the equilibrium of the multiperiod ...

To tackle the complexity and heterogeneity of the networks that integrate Mechatronic SMEs, this paper describes a modelling and simulation solution based on multiagent system and ArchMDE (Architecture Model Drive Engineering) methodology for supply chain agentification. This research work outlines two main results: conceptualisation and modelling. The first one deals with the identification an...

With the globalization and the development of information technology, supply chain has become a complex system. In this paper, ABMS(Agent-based model and simulation), as one of the scientific and dynamic research methods for complex system, is applied to establish a supply chain model and determine its abundant bullwhip effect phenomenon under swarm platform. Based on analysis of certain condit...

The food supply chain is a very demanding and dynamic sector of economy. The goods that flow through the supply chain are exposed to damage. The authors have developed a model which optimizes the cost of transport in the network. It is based on graph theory, and, in particular, the Generalized Flow Problem has been used. The main contribution of this paper is the implementation of this model in...

This chapter discusses several innovations in information and communication technology and develops their potential to radically alter our view of the supply chain in quick response applications. Using the packet-switching framework as an analogy, it explores the way in which intelligent products may operate to dynamically adjust to market volatility. The changes will require new thinking in ar...

This paper concerns a dynamic multi-commodity capacitated facility location problem in supply chain, where different products flow throughout different layers of supply chain over a time horizon to meet customers’ demand. The capacity and the location of facilities need to be changed for supply chain to operate efficiently and respond quickly to demand changes. Relocating facilities or changing...

Cooperation is the essence of supply chain. All members of the supply chain cooperate and band together to create more value than that of each member can do, and to realize the whole value of supply chain, which is far greater than the simple sum of every link value. Cooperative efforts and collaborations between these enterprises make it easier to realize the whole benefit of supply chain and ...
