nowadays we know effective supply chain management a key to business success. therefore, supply chain managers use many practices for scm effectiveness and many tools as their enablers. nevertheless, literature about causal relations between sc enablers and scm practices and performance is scarce. this study reports a cognitive mapping of causal relationships between scm practices, sc enablers ...

This study aims to explore how cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) enterprises achieve a desired balance state of supply chain resilience and vulnerability. proposes the concept vulnerability, which refers proximity current ideal one anti-ideal one. To evaluate state, model is constructed using integrating fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solu...

Supply chain network design in perishable product has become a challenging task due to its short life time, spoilage of product in degradation nature and stochastic market demand. This paper focused on designing and optimizing model for perishable product in stochastic demand, which comprises multiple levels from producer, local collector, wholesaler and retailers. The ultimate goal is to optim...

The impact of financial challenges on the profit of a supply chain, have caused the researcher to model the supply chain network by considering the operational and financial dimensions. Also, the establishment of a closed loop supply chain (CLSC) network has a high effect on economic profit. So, the purpose of this study is to design a stochastic closed loop supply chain network by considering ...

Flexible and dynamic supply chain network design problem has been studied by many researchers during past years. Since integration of short-term and long-term decisions in strategic planning leads to more reliable plans, in this paper a multi-objective model for a sustainable closed-loop supply chain network design problem is proposed. The planning horizon of this model contains multiple strate...

cost reduction is one of the methods applied for improving the productivity of organizations. in productivity literature, particularly in nonparametric methods, cost reduction related methods are regarded as input oriented models. this paper presents a supply chain management (scm) model in which purchasing iron ore and coke from different resources, along with production and distribution of st...
