In one-of-a-kind production (OKP), a firm usually keeps zero stock for some components of which the demand is unstable. In this work, we model the scheduling problem for the OKP firm who promises due-date-guaranteed delivery to its customers. The firm schedules its jobs to minimize its total cost concerning the constraint of components delivery from its supplier. We develop a pair-wise scheduli...

After giving an overview over various conservation law models for supply networks, this talk will focus on level set approaches to modeling scheduling policies in supply chains. The starting point is a rather high dimensional kinetic model for a density of parts / particles with multidimensional attributes. After deriving hyperbolic conservation laws for the level sets of all parts with equal s...

Addressing an integrated decision-making structure for planting and harvesting scheduling may lead to more realistic, accurate, and efficient decision in fresh product supply chain. This study aims to develop an integrated bi-objective tactical and operational planning model for producing and distributing fresh crops. The first objective of the model is to maximize total revenue of supply chain...

A centralized multi-echelon, multi-product supply chain network is presented in a multi-period setting with products that show varying demand against price. An important consideration in such complex supply chains is to maintain system performance at high levels for varying demands that may be sensitive to product price. In order to examine the price-centric behavior of the customers, the conce...

Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is developed and maintained by the Supply Chain Council (SCC). The model is a reference model which can be utilized to map benchmark and improve the supply chain operations. SCOR model provides companies with a basic process modeling tool, an extensive benchmark database by defining a set of supply chain metrics. This paper explains the process and...

In this study, tactical decisions considering the material and financial flows in a supply chain have been made. To achieve these aims and some effective solutions, a multi-objective mathematical model proposed for an integrated supply chain master planning problem. The multi-product, multi-period and capacitated supply chain network has three objective functions. Two first objective functions ...

The importance of semantic based web services has been widely recognized and accepted by the industry and academic research. In this paper, we first motivate the demand for semantic based distributed production configuration taking place in the supply chain under B2B situation, then propose a solution for the configuration system, in which we apply the DAML+OIL Language to describe multi-layere...

There has been a significant increase in the improvement of response to disasters in crisis management supply chain. Due to their sudden occurrence, these disasters require a consequent quick and efficient response that depends on the ability of logistics systems to generate plans under a variety of constraints. The supply chain studied in this work is a crisis management supply chain, composed...

Supply chain scheduling is a new emerging area of research. We study batch arrival scheduling problems at the manufacturer in a multi-level customer-centric supply chain, where promised job due dates are considered constraints which must be satisfied. We analyze the tradeoff between inventory holding costs and batch delivery costs. We show that the problems are closely related to batch scheduli...
