Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) is one of the emerging solutions for improving the supply chain efficiency. It gives the supplier the responsibility to monitor and decide the inventory replenishments of their customers. In this paper, an integrated location–inventory distribution network problem which integrates the effects of facility location, distribution, and inventory issues is formulated u...

Purpose This project attempts to present a space component inventory classification system for replenishment and management. The authors propose adopt that can incorporate all the different variables in multi-criteria configuration. Fuzzy logic is applied as an effective way formulating problems replenishment. Design/methodology/approach A fuzzy-based approach with ABC proposed of soil preparat...

This paper studies operations sequencing for a multi-stage production inventory system with lead times under predictable (deterministic) yield losses in the presence of uncertain demand, with full or partial release of work-in-process (WIP) inventories, for preor post-operation cost structures, and under the total discounted or average cost criteria. We derive necessary and sufficient criteria ...

This paper concentrates on a new procedure which experimentally recognises gears and bearings faults of a typical gearbox system using a least square support vector machine (LSSVM). Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared to select an appropriate wavelet for feature extraction. The fault diagnosis method co...

Management of complex supply networks is a fundamental business topic today. Especially in the presence many and diverse stakeholders, identifying assessing those risks having potential negative impact on performance processes utmost importance and, as result, implementing focused risk management actions current lively field research. The possibility supporting Supply Chain Risks (SCRM) herein ...

During the last few decades, many academic and professional groups gave attention to adopting multi-criteria decision-making methods in a variety of contexts for that are given diversity sophistication their selections. Five different classification tested assessed this paper. Each has its own set five attribute selection approaches. By using procedures, these data can be used rate options. Tec...

this paper develops a single-vendor single-retailer supply chain for multi-product. the proposed model is based on vendor managed inventory (vmi) approach and vendor uses the retailer's data for better decision making. number of orders and available capital are the constraints of the model. in this system, shortages are backordered; therefore, the vendor’s warehouse capacity is another limitati...
