Simulation Based Decision Support for Supply Chain Logistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supply chain logistics planning is a complex process in both military and civilian operations. Poor planning may lead to system instability that might seriously influence the ability of the supply chain to satisfy its customers or might affect a combat mission. Therefore, correct decisions need to be made to optimize the performance of the system. It is important that the right information is transferred to the concerned unit that needs to receive the right information. Our model features a decision support system that aids human in making decisions and studies the role of a decision support system in enhancing the performance of the supply chain logistics system. The model is object oriented in nature, which helps in rapid prototyping of the different components of the system.

A Two Stage Stochastic Programming Model of the Price Decision Problem in the Dual-channel Closed-loop Supply Chain
In this paper, we propose a new model for designing integrated forward/reverse logistics based on pricing policy in direct and indirect sales channel. The proposed model includes producers, disposal center, distributers and final customers. We assumed that the location of final customers is fixed. First, a deterministic mixed integer linear programming model is developed for integrated logistic...

We develop a decision support tool that assesses the throughput of a coal export supply chain for a given level of demand. The tool can be used to rapidly evaluate a number of infrastructures for several future demand scenarios in order to identify a few that should be investigated more thoroughly using a detailed simulation model. To make the natural model computationally tractable, we exploit...
