Supply chain management (SCM) is not always concerned with optimal solutions conventionally in terms of product allocation. Virtual market based supply chain operation solves the product allocation problem by distributing the scheduled resources based on the agent interactions in the market. We formulate supply chain model as a discrete resource allocation problem under dynamic environment, and...

This study considers a combination of cross-docking and vehicle routing problem (VRP) approachesto transport raw material and parts in a supply chain. The supply chain is composed of some supplierswhich are spread in different geographical zones and multiple shared vehicles with different speedsand capacities for transporting orders from the suppliers to a manufacturer. After ...

Although many companies have implemented ERP systems to track and share information across cross functional business processes, they often supplement them with legacy, custom, or best of breed applications to support supply chain execution and management. This article offers a framework for understanding all types of enterprise applications that support the supply chain. In this study, the auth...

Using Simulation Dynamics’ Supply Chain Builder, a supply chain tool has been developed to study alternative inventory allocations in a network. The model represents the supply chain of a nationwide food production and distribution network. The company produces thousands of product lines and is studying the best strategies for allocating inventory to distribution centers to avoid cross-shipment...

The goal of this paper is to identify the value impacts of supply chain collaboration and design a measurement system to quantify them. Treating process sharing as a special form of supply chain collaboration, we focus on developing measures for evaluating the performance of RosettaNet technology. The empirical findings show that supply chain collaboration creates most value in the extended sup...

results responsiveness, effectiveness, and flexibility with eigenvalue of 2.628 were identified as the main aspects of agility in humanitarian health supply chains. the components of visibility, reactivity, and speed were identified as components of responsiveness. quality, reliability, and completeness were identified as components of effectiveness. volume, delivery, mix, and product were know...
