In this study, tactical decisions considering the material and financial flows in a supply chain have been made. To achieve these aims and some effective solutions, a multi-objective mathematical model proposed for an integrated supply chain master planning problem. The multi-product, multi-period and capacitated supply chain network has three objective functions. Two first objective functions ...

Supply chain master planning strives for optimally aligned production, warehousing and transportation decisions across a multiple number of partners. Its execution in practice is limited by business partners’ reluctance to share their vital business data. Secure Multi-Party Computation can be used to make such collaborative computations privacy-preserving by applying cryptographic techniques. T...

Supply chain planning in manufacturing companies is approached in this paper through empirical case-study research. The target was to chart how different types of manufacturing companies are specifying their future volumes and to identify the type of collaborative planning they are implementing with customers and suppliers. Based on interview study results, a framework is presented to explain h...

Recently, many novel paradigms, concepts and technologies, which lay the foundation for new revolution in manufacturing environments, have emerged make it faster to address critical decisions today supply chain 4.0 (SC4.0), with flexibility, resilience, sustainability quality criteria. The current power of computational resources enables intelligent optimisation algorithms process data such a w...

Higher expectations on supply chain performance force organizations to reinvent themselves in order to cut costs and increase customer service, all to gain competitive advantage. Pursuing the best network of manufacturing, supply and distribution facilities relative the marketplace is therefore on top of many managers “most wanted” list concerning supply chain management. Supply chain planners ...

Supply chain master planning strives for optimally aligned production, warehousing and transportation decisions across a multiple number of partners. Its execution in practice is limited by business partners’ reluctance to share their vital business data. Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC) can be used to make such collaborative computations privacy-preserving by applying cryptographic techniq...

To be able to cope with the requirements of today’s competitive and demanding digital world of business, companies, especially SMEs, need to be more agile, and be ready to react to the changing requirements of the sector. This requires a better view and a more comprehensive analysis of the whole marketplace which can be achieved through a knowledge oriented collaborative supply chain planning i...

the revenue management concept and techniques are applied to model the coordination of supply chain elements. the fundamental premise of this approach is synchronization of a group of business entities consist-ing of a manufacturer and multiple suppliers to achieve an optimal supply chain capacity plans. the output of the supply chain can be various products and thus it is measured in terms of ...
