Software Supply Chain Analysis Based on Function Similarity

Special Issue on Optimization in Supply Chain Management An Attribute Based Similarity Function for VRP Decision Support

When solving problems in the real world using optimization tools, the model solved by the tools is often only an approximation of the underlying, real, problem. In these circumstances, a decision maker (DM) should consider a diverse set of good solutions, not just an optimal solution as produced using the model. On the other hand, the same DM will only be interested in seeing a few of the alter...

Providing A Model for Supply Chain Agility of Ground-Based Military Products and Its Impact on Supply Chain Performance

Nowadays, Military products of superpowers countries have a high level of diversity, delivery speed, and appropriative operational functionality. Therefore, Production of varied, high quality and high speed delivery military products, is essential for enhance Iran's defensive deterrence power. Defense industries supply chain agility is an answer to how to produce military products with these f...

Software Agents for Dynamic Supply Chain Management

Some dynamic supply chain problems are instances of a class of distributed optimization problems that intelligent agents were made to address. Agents are thus a natural enabling technology for such problems. In this paper we describe the use of TÆMS agent technologies on a sterilized dynamic supply chain management problem.

Software component architecture in supply chain management

We present a software component architecture for supply chain management across dynamic organisational networks. The local management in the architecture is done by existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS). The integral management in the architecture is executed by supply chain engines (SCEs). These softw...
