The goal of this paper is to identify the value impacts of supply chain collaboration and design a measurement system to quantify them. Treating process sharing as a special form of supply chain collaboration, we focus on developing measures for evaluating the performance of RosettaNet technology. The empirical findings show that supply chain collaboration creates most value in the extended sup...

This paper examines the systemic and complex influences of 2020 Coronavirus epidemic on supply chains (SCs) international clothing companies through a global business risk management perspective. The pandemic has triggered demand disturbance risks that strongly affect chain (SC) management, signifying necessity to develop agility alleviate such risks. study revealed lean-SC model is inadequate ...

the primary purpose of this paper is to highlight for the research community and practitioners the various aspects of using vmi-type supply chains in today’s business environment as well as a number of directions for future studies. in this regard, fifty articles published in major international journals, beginning in 1995, which contribute to the vmi-type supply chains are reviewed via a syste...

The supply chain represents the critical link between the development of new product and the market in pharmaceutical industry. Over the years, improvements made in supply chain operations have focused largely on ways to reduce cost and gain efficiencies in scale. In addition, powerful regulatory and market forces have provided new incentives for pharmaceutical firms to basically rethink the wa...

this paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of lean manufacturing. the lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. to improve ...

Lean manufacturing is a strategic concern for companies which conduct mass production and it has become even more significant for those producing in a project-oriented way by modularization.  In this paper, a bi-objective optimization model is proposed to design and plan a supply chain up to the final assembly centre. The delivery time and the quality in the procurement and low fluctuation of t...
