This paper discusses the need for Supply Chain Business Intelligence and driving forces for its adoption, and presents BI development life cycle along with quality success factors. Also, Internet-based supply chain BI model that enables many-to-many, loosely-coupled information exchange for collaborative business analysis and decision making is described. Finally, the main elements of the devel...

Green Supply Chain Management has its roots in supply chain management, i.e. it is based on the adoption and extension of its concepts. The “Green” component to Supply Chain Management involves addressing the influence and relationships between Supply chain management and the natural environment [1]. Harland [2] defines supply chain management as “the management of a network of interconnected b...

in a recent paper in this journal, yang et al. [feng yang, dexiang wu,liang liang, gongbing bi & desheng dash wu (2009), supply chaindea:production possibility set and performance evaluation model] definedtwo types of supply chain production possibility set which were proved to beequivalent to each other. they also proposed a new model for evaluatingsupply chains. there are, however, some short...

While firms understand that implementing green supply chain management (GSCM) is important, they seem uncertain about how to manage their initiatives by looking beyond own facilities. Building a requires the participation of all partner across chain. However, are different in size, situation, capabilities, and even industries. Thus, encouraging them participate difficult. Many small medium ente...

Integrated production-distribution planning (PDP) is one of the most important approaches in supply chain networks. We consider a supply chain network (SCN) to consist of multi suppliers, plants, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers. A bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for integrating production-distribution designed here aim to simultaneously minimize total net costs in ...

Decentralized supply chain management is found to be significantly relevant in today’s competitive markets. Production and distribution planning is posed as an important optimization problem in supply chain networks. Here, we propose a multi-period decentralized supply chain network model with uncertainty. The imprecision related to uncertain parameters like demand and price of the final produc...

In this paper, a bi-objective mixed-integer linear optimization model for Closed-loop Supply Chain Network Design Problem (CLSCND) is developed. The proposed model includes both the forward and reverse directions and includes different types of facilities, namely, manufacturing/remanufacturing centers, warehouses, and disassembly centers. The first objective function tried to minimize the total...

today the environmental consequences and earth resources unresponsiveness is transformed to the main concern of human. at the same time increasing environmental pollution and its devastating consequences following that, increased consumer and environmental demand for sustainable products and services must try to reduce pollution caused by industrial development in the form of efforts to impleme...

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is a charming subject today in business competition among the organization’s. In this competitive and globalized environment, most of the all organization’s are emphasizing more efforts to improve their green supply chain practices. This paper is used the fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach to select the ...

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is one of the recent buzz world in the industrial enterprises in India for the enhancing the capabilities of their supply chain management through sustainability. Industries are more interested in profit making due to sustainable supply chain activities rather than to save environment. Thus in this research, we aim to study the various activities involved in...
