agility is the fundamental characteristic of a supply chain needed for survival in turbulent markets, where environmental forces create additional uncertainty resulting in higher risk in the supply chain management. in addition, agility helps providing the right product, at the right time to the consumer. the main goal of this research is therefore to promote supplier selection in pharmaceutica...

For manufacturing industries, the integration of business processes from customer-order management to delivery (Supply Chain Management) has widely been received much attention from the viewpoints of agile and lean manufacturing. Supply chain planning concerns broad activities ranging network-wide inventory management, forecasting, transportation, distribution planning, production planning and ...

Abstract/Résumé : The supply planning of agricultural products and in particular perishable products is a critical issue in the supply chain management field due to high safety and quality risks associated with the delays in the products delivery. This work is concerned with the planning of a real agri-food supply chain for poultry products. More precisely the problem is to redesign the existin...

In today’s competitive market place, companies seek an efficient structure of supply chain so as to provide customers with highest value and achieve competitive advantage. This requires a broader perspective than just the borders of an individual company during a supply chain. This paper investigates an aggregate production planning problem integrated with distribution issues in a supply chain ...

This paper describes requirements for an integrated supply chain system simulator with the focus on production activities within the system. This paper includes the following contents: (1) Identification of supply chain planning problems over various operational strategies, (2) Operational strategy for supply chain management, and (3) Requirements and design issues for a generic supply chain si...

In this work, a framework to model the Supply Chain (SC) Collaborative Planning (CP) process is proposed. The main contributions of this framework concern 1) the presentation of the decision view, the most important one due to the characteristics of the process, jointly within the physical, organisation and information views, and 2) the simultaneous consideration of the spatial and temporal int...

As firms search to maximise value through the effective management of their various business activities, it is increasingly important to identify and understand the key factors that can significantly impact on the performance of the supply chain. The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model enables to identify four distinct processes (plan, source, make and deliver) that constitute a supp...

Supply chain planning is critical in semiconductor manufacturing with its expensive production facilities, expensive inventory and usually expensive logistics. Simulation provides a powerful technique to study supply chain dynamics and evaluate options for supply chain planning and control. However, detailed simulation models of semiconductor supply chain can be computationally quite intensive....

Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to document the research on development of a conceptual framework for the supply chain. The aims of the research were to develop an integrated framework, and to provide a methodology for planning of many components in the supply chain such as suppliers, materials, resources, warehouses, activities and customers. The proposed framework is based on the ...
