University bookstores have a complex multi-product, multi-supplier supply chain with complex channel relationships such as product substitution, random yields, reverse logistics and returns, and risk sharing contracts. Supply chain efficiency is important to the bookstore due to low overall profit margin. The used book buyback activity is an example of reverse logistics with random yield with s...

Supply chain management helps partners in the chain to justify internal costs. The pursuit of cost information through the supply chain is very important for controlling costs, which helps to establish and optimize activities in institutions in the value chain. In this research, we have tried to review the literature on Supply Chain Costing in order to predict a model of management dashboard de...

Revenue sharing is an effective mechanism for coordinating decisions in a supply chain. For a three-stage supply chain, we explore how revenue-based incentives can be used by the stage 1 supply chain agent (retailer) to motivate cooperative behavior from its two upstream partners with conflicting interests. To illustrate our analysis, we provide a food supply chain example, with retailer, proce...

this paper presents a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with a clustering supplier problem in a supply chain system. during recent years, determining suitable suppliers in the supply chain has become a key strategic consideration. however, the nature of these decisions is usually complex and unstructured. in general, many quantitative and qualitative factors, such as quality, price, and fl...

In the last decade, supply chain operations have received tremendous attention in manufacturing and business sectors due to an increasingly challenging marketplace. This paper presents a multi-agent approach for analysing material flow in a manufacturing supply chain under information sharing. The model is capable of handling complex networks with many tiers, each tier with many business units ...

supply chain for survival in turbulent and volatile markets need instrument that by its help face with environment challenge. this instrument is agility. thus, in order of modeling agility of supply chain, founded 11 factors and interred in questionnaire and give it to experts of zobahan co. supply chain. analyzed result of 180 received questionnaire and accepted 11 factors that founded before....

Due to the highly complex nature of a dynamic supply chain, modeling and analyzing of supply chain processes using formal and quantitative approaches is a challenging task. Modeling and analysis of such a complex system is crucial for performance evaluation and for comparing competing supply chains. Since today's manufacturing enterprises are more strongly coupled in terms of material, informat...
