In this work, a multiperiod MINLP model is proposed for the supply chain optimization of a petrochemical complex. Nonlinear, semi-rigorous models have been included for main plants in the site, allowing the determination of process operating conditions and product properties. Intermediate and final product storage and shipping are considered. Binary variables are associated to intermittent prod...

We study a complex Configured to Order (CTO) business operating under variable product configuration recipes and high component commonality within product Bills of Materials. In particular, we conduct a series of simulation experiments to compare certain supply chain designs and investigate how their performance changes with changing variability of product configurations. The results indicate t...

Effective supply chain design calls for robust analytical models and design tools. Previous works in this area are mostly Operation Research oriented without considering manufacturing aspects. Recently, researchers have begun to realize that the decision and integration effort in supply chain design should be driven by the manufactured product, specifically, product characteristics and product ...

The EPCglobal has defined the standard for sharing the tagged product information among the enterprises, which are mainly the product level information rather than event level information. Now the EPCglobal aims at provide visibility in supply chains by enabling interested parties to query item-level data. Item level data are distributed to several EPCIS (EPC Information Service) in the supply ...

Geleneksel tarım-gıda tedarik zincirlerinde ürüne değer katmayan birden fazla aşama olup ürünlerin kalitesini ve fiyatını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Ayrıca ürünlerindeki enflasyon Tüketici Fiyat Endeksini de doğrudan etkilediğinden zincir üzerinde yapılacak iyileştirmelerin nihai tüketiciye katkısı yüksek olacaktır. Bu çalışma kapsamında zincirinde yaratmayan katmanların olmadığı bütünleşik ...

When an innovative product is introduced into the market, consumers are often uncertain about the product value. Over time they may learn the value of product. This paper studies the impact of consumer learning on the firms' marketing efforts and revenue sharing strategies in a supply chain that sells an innovative product to consumers over multiple periods. Both the supplier and the retailer c...

Digital supply chain integration is becoming increasingly dynamic. Access to customer demand needs to be shared effectively, and product and service deliveries must be tracked to provide visibility in the supply chain. Business process integration is based on standards and reference architectures, which should offer end-to-end integration of product data. Companies operating in supply chains es...
