providing wider variety of products often leads to higher complexity in the manufacturing and business system. finding appropriate methods and techniques to manage these difficulties is going to be an attractive topic for researchers in operations management. by adopting a qualitative approach we have investigated the product variety management in the apparel supply chain. the main contribution...

Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is developed and maintained by the Supply Chain Council (SCC). The model is a reference model which can be utilized to map benchmark and improve the supply chain operations. SCOR model provides companies with a basic process modeling tool, an extensive benchmark database by defining a set of supply chain metrics. This paper explains the process and...

With the continuous development of blockchain technology, “blockchain+” has gradually evolved into a new form social and economic development. Blockchain technology can be applied to rice supply chain management field. Consider integrating encryption algorithm, timestamp consensus sidechain with chain, analliance chainbetween companies upstream downstream including producers, suppliers, vendors...

With an aim to resolve the problem of the increasing costs of supply chain in Manufacture Company, an integrated supply chain management model, driven by market demand, is brought forward in this paper, based on the analysis of existing integrated models of supply chain. The management model integrates purchase, production and sale plans with logistics plans used JIT. In order to build an integ...

On the basis of reviews on related literatures based on complexity science and complex adaptive system of supply chain management research, the development process of supply chain management has been analyzed, and several advantages to apply complex adaptive system in supply chain management research have been put forward. It has broad application prospects to study the coordination development...

This paper studies the multi-stage supply chain system (MSSCM) controlled by the kanban mechanism. In the kanban system, decision making is based on the number of kanbans as well as batch sizes. A kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking different production processes in a supply chain system in order to implement the scope of just-in-time (JIT) philosophy. For a MSSCM, a mixed-integer...
