An Available-to-Promise Allocation Decision Model Based on Assemble-to-Order Supply Chain

Developing a method for order allocation to suppliers in green supply chain

Currently, due to increased competition in the services and manufacturing, many companies are trying to lower price and good quality products offer to the market. In this paper, the multi-criteria decision-making techniques to evaluate and select the best supplier from among the existing suppliers. The first, hierarchical structure for selecting suppliers of raw materials used and the analytic ...

The Feasibility Analysis of Available-to-Promise in Supply-Chain System under Fuzzy Environment

Variety Management in Assemble-to-order Supply Chains

Assemble-to-order refers to a supply chain strategy in which products are not assembled until customer order arrives. It is based on the so-called form postponement that is to hold components at a generic form and to delay the point of product differentiation. The performance of an assemble-to-order supply chain depends on two main dimensions, which are responsiveness and achievement level of s...

An Agent-Based Model of Make-to-Order Supply Chains

An agent-based model is proposed in the paper to simulate the make-to-order supply chains. This model is an attempt to improve our understanding of the complex processes going on in make-to-order supply chains. The validity of the model is shown by the simulation of the foreign trade supply chain. Agents are used to simulate the members of the supply chain. Agents’ attributes are presented by t...

An Approach to Supply Chain Design based on Robust Capacity Allocation of Production Locations

Global supply chains are complex dynamical systems. Due to nonlinear dependencies between production locations, already a perturbation at one location can change the dynamic behavior of the whole supply chain. As a consequence the supply of customers in time may be at risk. In this paper we present an approach to supply chain design that maximizes the robustness of a supply chain in regard to p...
