Researchers and practitioners are taking more interest in developing sustainable garment supply chains in recent times. On the other hand, the supply chain manager drops sustainability objectives while coping with unexpected natural and man-made disruption risks. Hence, supply chain managers are now trying to develop sustainable supply chains that are simultaneously resilient enough to cope wit...

Given the substantive negative financial, marketing, and operationsrelated consequences of supply chain disruptions, it is not surprising that most organizations are expending significant efforts to develop effective disruption management strategies. Further, the focus on lowcost (and lean) supply chains to control costs has also resulted in magnifying the impact of even a small disruption at a...

This paper investigates the impacts of both the demand uncertainty and the supply disruption probability on the decisions of two sourcing strategies: one is dual sourcing and the other is single sourcing with contingent supply. The expected profit functions and the optimal decisions of the buyer are derived and compared. Then sensitivity analysis is given through numerical examples. Explicit in...

Because a practical supply chain is not an ideal supply chain, there always exists a risk of destruction and disruption and the risk is apt to synchronize. It, therefore, is needed to analyze the effect of a risk of destruction and disruption, which occurs simultaneously in an enterprise network and to make a method to minimize the risk. This paper uses agent-based simulation (ABS) and system d...

This paper considers the coordination problem of one-retailer one-supplier supply chains with stochastic demand and demand disruption. Adopted optimization methods and numerical experiments, we evaluate the benefits of the ABD contracts with and without demand disruption, and characterize the optimal discount price that maximizes the supplier’s expected profit under such circumstance. The resul...

Recent years have witness the pervasive supply disruptions and their impacts on supply chain performance. We investigate single or dual sourcing emergency model with partial supply disruptions. Introducing the concept of disruption proportion and delivery allocation, we first explore partial interrupted proportion of main supplier and delivery proportion of backup supplier. Under partial disrup...

in this study, an optimization model is proposed to design a global supply chain (gsc) for a medical device manufacturer under disruption in the presence of pre-existing competitors and price inelasticity of demand. therefore, static competition between the distributors’ facilities to more efficiently gain a further share in market of economic cooperation organization trade agreement (ecota) is...
