Supply chain management is one key area that has gathered much interest from both the academic and business communities. Today’s many uncertainties require that supply chains be nimble and resilient in reacting to disruptions for sustainable operations. We look at a refinery supply chain and present a strategy for recovering from disruptions by heuristic rescheduling. This is important as refin...

A supply network structure design, that is resilient to any adverse, fast changing, or unexpected conditions, serves as a catalyst to propel a business forward while competition sits still. Complex systems theory provides an approach to capture the evolution of supply chains over times, where companies co-evolve with their suppliers, customers and competitors to adapt to changing business envir...

The short shelf-life of platelets together with their stochastic demand and variable supply create problematic decision making for inventory managers who seek to maintain optimal stock levels. This paper develops a novel simulation model that acts as support tool identifying levels guarantee the availability and, eliminate wastage outages within platelet chain. A multi-method approach is deline...

With the upsurge of frequent disruptive events, organizations have become more vulnerable to the consequences of these disruptive events. As a result, the need for more resilient supply chain (SC) to mitigate the vulnerabilities has become paramount. Supply chain resilience (SCR) has been discussed in the literature and resilience index has been developed, but developing and selecting a portfol...

The purpose of this paper is to propose and test a theoretical framework to explain resilience in supply chain networks for sustainability using unstructured Big Data, based upon 36,422 items gathered in the form of tweets, news, Facebook, WordPress, Instagram, Google+, and YouTube, and structured data, via responses from 205 managers involved in disaster relief activities in the aftermath of N...

impact of supply chain drivers on supply chain performance has no far been studied. in this research we want identifying supply chain drivers, classifying them and examining their relationship with iran's supply chain performance. this research has innovation in identifying and classifying drivers and examining relationship between drivers and supply chain performance we used bsc for assessing ...
