The impact of supply chain integration on new product development has been very well studied in literature. However, little literature examines the relationship between supplier integration and customer integration when they influence new product performance. This study aims to explore the complicated relationships among supplier integration, customer integration and new product performance via...

In this research, we have investigated the interaction between product platform development and supply chain configuration in a global environment. A comprehensive decision support model has been developed to simultaneously determine product strategy and supply chain configuration. By Products we refer to the bundle of module option alternatives offered to market segments, and product platform ...

over the years we have witnessed the growing importance of supply chain operations and supply chain management (scm), as supply chains play a major role in every step of the product life cycle. therefore, this paper will dea-based performance evaluation approaches for overall supply chain can be categorized. future perspectives and challenges are discussed

The aim of this study is to propose a new model of the extended supply chain where design of new products is integrated into the process of designing the supply chain. The paper deals with a recent approach that tackles the product and the supply chain design issues at the same time and proposes a methodology of an optimal design of the product and its extended supply chain. We also propose UML...

integrated production-distribution planning (pdp) is one of the most important approaches in supply chain networks. we consider a supply chain network (scn) to consist of multi suppliers, plants, distribution centers (dcs), and retailers. a bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for integrating production-distribution designed here aim to simultaneously minimize total net costs in ...

In this research, a bi-objective model is developed to deal with a supply chain including multiple suppliers, multiple manufacturers, and multiple customers, addressing a multi-site, multi-period, multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) problem. This bi-objective model aims to minimize the total cost of supply chain including inventory costs, manufacturing costs, work force costs, hir...

The supply chain network design (SCND) implicates decision-making at a strategic level and makes it possible to create an effective and helpful context for managing. The aim of the network is to minimize the total cost so that customer's demands should be met. Preventive maintenance is pre-determined work performed to a schedule with the aim of preventing the wear and tear or sudden failure of ...

In this paper, we present a novel visualization framework for product and supply chain metadata in the context of redesign-related decision scenarios. Our framework is based on the idea of overlaying product-related metadata onto interactive graph representations of a supply chain and its associated product architecture. By coupling environmental data with graph-based visualizations of product ...
