The supply chain is a system comprising organizations, decision makers, and technology decision policies that is responsible for transforming raw materials into finished products that are delivered to end customers. As expanded upon later in the paper, the supply chain is traditionally characterized by counter-current flows of information and material. Material flows from the raw material suppl...

Due to the complexity of present day supply chains, it is important to select the simplest supply chain scheduling Decision Support System (DSS) which will determine and place orders satisfactorily. We propose to use a generic design framework, termed the explicit filter methodology, to achieve this objective. In doing so we compare the explicit filter approach to the implicit filter approach u...

Supply chain optimisation is now a major research theme in process operations and management. A great deal of research has been undertaken on facility location and design, inventory and distribution planning, capacity and production planning and detailed scheduling. Only a small proportion of this work directly addresses the issues faced in the pharmaceutical sector. On the other hand, this sec...

modern manufacturing enterprises are required to collaborate by their business partners through their business process operations such as design, manufacture, distribution, and aftersales services. and furthermore performance evaluation is of great importance for effective supply chain man agement. therefore, dea can help companies to remove some of the in efficiencies in operational processes ...

in this paper a scheduling problem in a 2-stage supply chain is discussed. suppliers are in the first stage and in the second stage, there are vehicles which carry orders to a manufacturing center. the purpose is to allocate orders to suppliers, sequence the suppliers’ production, allocate orders to transport vehicles and prioritize orders that should be carried by vehicles to minimize the tota...

today’s competition is promoted from firm against firm to supply chain versus supply chain, globalization and competition is a common phenomenon so each organization should make its supply chain as a weapon against the others, in doing so this paper presented a conceptual, graphical, step by step methodology to construct supply chain strategies by integrating strategic management’s theories, ap...
