Supply chain disruption risk usually poses a serious challenge to the management of emergency supplies procurement between government and enterprises in cooperation. To research impact supply on demand sides for disaster relief, model based quantity flexibility contract is constructed. The introduces stockout measure degree uses per unit material relief value quantify benefits. Further, it anal...

Recently studies in area of supply chain network (SCN) have focused on the disruption issues in distribution systems. Also this paper extends the previous literature by providing a new biobjective model for cost minimization of designing a three echelon SCN across normal and failure scenarios with considering multi capacity option for manufacturers and distribution centers. Moreover, in order t...

This research focuses on estimating and understanding the costs and causes of transportation related supply chain disruptions. In-depth interviews with logistics managers were undertaken to investigate how companies perceive transportation related supply chain disruptions and what they are doing to respond and address them. Stated choice experiments were designed to estimate the cost of disrupt...

results responsiveness, effectiveness, and flexibility with eigenvalue of 2.628 were identified as the main aspects of agility in humanitarian health supply chains. the components of visibility, reactivity, and speed were identified as components of responsiveness. quality, reliability, and completeness were identified as components of effectiveness. volume, delivery, mix, and product were know...

Today’s competition is promoted from firm against firm to supply chain versus supply chain, globalization and competition is a common phenomenon so each organization should make its supply chain as a weapon against the others, in doing so this paper presented a conceptual, graphical, step by step methodology to construct supply chain strategies by integrating strategic management’s ...

The risk of supply disruption increases as firms seek to procure from cheaper, but unproven, suppliers. We model a supply chain consisting of a single buyer and two suppliers, both of whom compete for the buyer’s order and face risk of supply disruption. One supplier is comparatively more reliable but also more expensive, while the other unreliable one is cheaper and faces higher risk of disrup...
