regarding to the diversified needs of domestic and global customers and various products of domestic and global competitors, importance of agility in supply chain management becomes more important. suppliers have to provide materials and essential resources of manufacturers in a short time without any lead time.in this research, we identified many criteria for agility in sanitation supply chain...

By increasing the extraction of natural gas, its role in the restructured power systems is being expanded, due to its lower pollution. Iran has the second largest reserves of natural gas in the world and exports it to different countries. This paper represents long run analysis of natural gas export from Iran to Turkey as a case study, considering direct transfer and exporting via the power mar...

Effectively mitigating methane emissions from the natural gas supply chain requires addressing the disproportionate influence of high-emitting sources. Here we use a Monte Carlo simulation to aggregate methane emissions from all components on natural gas production sites in the Barnett Shale production region (Texas). Our total emission estimates are two-thirds of those derived from independent...

In this paper the benefits of RFID technology in the specific environment of the Supply Chain of renewable resources are examined. Due to their natural growth the production planning and the Supply Chain Management is faced with some uncertainties which differ from conventional Supply Chains. We will show how RFID can be applied to natural resources and how the whole Supply Chain can benefit fr...

Power can be generated from the pressure energy of natural gas along its supply chain at various pressure reduction points by using turbo-expanders. This technology is being applied in different countries around the world. This paper attempts to asses the potential of using this technology for Bangladesh. A number of producing wells and pressure reduction stations are investigated. It is found ...

The paper describes a new method for numerical monitoring of discrepancies in natural gas supply to consumers, who receive gas from gas distribution loops. This method serves to resolve the vital problem of commercial natural gas accounting under the conditions of deficient field measurements of gas supply volumes. Numerical monitoring makes it possible to obtain computational estimates of actu...

This paper uses Chinese firm level data to detect the international propagation of adverse shocks triggered by US hurricane season in 2005. We provide evidence that processing manufacturers with tight trade linkages United States reduced their intermediate imports from between July and October
