this paper presents a multi-objective linear programming model for disaster blood supply chain in some periods of time after disaster. this model assist to determine the quantity and location of facilities and also how to allocate blood to facilities. in this study, a three-level model is described, while blood is collected from temporary and permanent facilities and sent to blood center. blood...

this paper presents a new strategy based on multi-stage fuzzy (msf) pid controller based on artificial bee colony (abc) for damping power system stabilizer (pss) in multi-machine environment. the recent studies in artificial intelligence demonstrated that the abc optimization is strong intelligent method in complicated stability problems. also, finding the parameters of pid controller in power ...

Authors michail heinmann · visionary officer marco Klein · sCm Consultant ©2011 Camelot management Consultants 3 Preface the challenge of managing a multi-stage supply chain will be familiar to many process industry companies. Implementers of mrP II in the 1980s and early 1990s found that the proposed approaches, whilst possibly sufficient for handling simple supply chains involving a single pl...

this research provides an optimization tool for use by supply chain managers in the design and operation of manufacturing- distribution networks under uncertain demand conditions. the problem under consideration consists of determining the supply chain infrastructure; raw material purchases, shipments, and inventories; and finished product production quantities, inventories, and shipments neede...

In supply chain relationship governance, trust is considered as an important governance mechanism to decrease opportunism. Trust provides commitment, improves transaction efficiency, and implements the supply chain information system. The paper constructs a three-stage dynamic model based on the impact of trust governance on supply chain information system investment. It analyzes supply chain o...
