چکیده

cost reduction is one of the methods applied for improving the productivity of organizations. in productivity literature, particularly in nonparametric methods, cost reduction related methods are regarded as input oriented models. this paper presents a supply chain management (scm) model in which purchasing iron ore and coke from different resources, along with production and distribution of steel products were investigated to improve the productivity of a steel making plant in iran. the model was designed based on a single objective concept with a focus on total cost minimization. the constraints of the model consisted principal restriction concerning mines, coke plant and products. the model was implemented in steel factories (blast furnace) affiliated with iranian mines and mining industries development and renovation organization (imidro).the results showed that the priority for providing iron ore should be given to iran central iron ore company (icioc) which has enough production capacity to satisfy the required ores. the results further suggested that at the best productivity condition, isfahan steel plant should focus on the beam and bar production. the other plants, i.e. zagros plant, should focus on l-beam and slab and finally meibod steel plant should concentrate on slab production. it was also showed that the coke production plants cannot supply the required tonnage of the steel plants. therefore, some new plants should be established to achieve self-sufficiency in this industry. this model can be used as a support tool for decision-makers at strategic and tactical decision levels.

Fuzzy Linear Programming for Supply Chain Management in Steel Industry

Linear programming is one of the frequently applied tools in supply chain management. However, managers and decision makers may lack information about exact values of most of the parameters used in the optimization models. Fortunately, fuzzy linear programming comes up with a powerful tool to deal with this kind of incomplete data. In this paper, the flexible approach of fuzzy linear programmin...

COST MALMQUIST PRODUCTIVITY INDEX IN SUPPLY CHAIN

The index is excellent by the Malmquist index as extended to productivity measurement. The index developed here is defined in terms of input cost rather than input quantity distance functions in supply chain. Therefore, we propose productivity change is decomposed into overall efficiency and cost technical change. These decompositions provide a clearer situation of the root sources of supply ch...
