Managing income is a considerable dimension in supply chain management in current economic atmosphere. Real world situation makes it inevitable not to design or redesign supply chain. Redesign will take place as costs increase or new services for customers’ new demands should be provided. Pricing is an important fragment of Supply chain due to two reasons: first, represents revenue based ...

Abstract Assume that customers are price sensitive, changes in the price of perishable products will bring changes in demand, and business can adjust the perishable products' price to influence the market demand, a perishable products multi-stage pricing model considering cancelations and no-shows is proposed, and the optimal pricing, the optimal expected revenue with the products' initial quan...

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...

Security is an important concern to improve in emerging cloud computing to store, manage, analyze and share the sensitive data. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a provision cloud model attracting all business customers to use cloud by offering on-demand and pay-per-use hardware, storage, servers and other networking components. Present single cloud architectures are having numerous securit...

A centralized multi-echelon, multi-product supply chain network is presented in a multi-period setting with products that show varying demand against price. An important consideration in such complex supply chains is to maintain system performance at high levels for varying demands that may be sensitive to product price. In order to examine the price-centric behavior of the customers, the conce...

Purpose This paper aims to examine containership routing and speed optimization for maritime liner services. It focuses on a realistic case in which the transport demand, consequently collected revenue from visited ports depend sailing speed. Design/methodology/approach The authors present an integer non-linear programming model fleet sizing problem, of every leg, be included service their sequ...

• Developed multi-objective optimisation model for sustainable CLSC network problem. Considered SCs complexity, price-sensitive demand and consumer’s incentives. Data collected from a leading European household appliance company was used. Evidenced the positive effects of incentive pricing on returned goods. Provided multiple trade-off solutions decision makers. Closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs...

The optimal management of distributed generation (DG) enhances the efficiency of the distribution system; On the other hand, increasing the interest of customers in optimizing their consumption improves the performance of DG. This act is called demand side management. In this study, a new method based on the intelligent algorithm is proposed to optimal operate the demand side management in the ...
