Performance- and value-oriented decision support for supply chain configuration

A decision support system for the supply chain configuration

The design of a supply chain network provides the main structure for supply chain operations, since the network is a key element in the competitiveness and investments of an extended production system. The configuration of the network is essential for business to pursue a competitive advantage. We adopt a methodology based on three layers. In the first layer, the performance of the entities can...

Decision Support Technique for Supply Chain Management

In this paper, we propose a method for supporting decision makers in the domain of supply chain management. Our objective is the global optimization instead of optimizing independent subsystems of the supply chain. The method architecture is based on combination of the simulation and optimization techniques which includes a multi-objectives optimization module and a simulation module. The optim...

A Fuzzy Based Decision Support System For Supply Chain Disruption Management

Among the supply chain risk types, disruptions that result from natural disasters, sanctions, transportation problems and equipment failure can seriously disrupt or delay the flow of material, information and cash. The aim of this research was to propose a hybrid model for disruption management, which is the process of achieving plans or strategies to reduce the expenses incurred by the disrupt...

Agent-Based E-Supply Chain Decision Support

The global Internet economy is expected over time to give rise to increasingly agile practices where new supply chain arrangements are dynamically set up in response to changing business conditions and demands for highly customized products and services. To implement these “e-Supply Chain” practices, enterprises need the ability to rapidly evaluate new business opportunities and dynamically ide...
