In this paper, based on the imbalance of the supply-demand relationship of food, we design a spreading model of food safety risk, which is about from food producers to consumers in the food supply chain. We use theoretical analysis and numerical simulation to describe the supply-demand relationship and government supervision behaviors' influence on the risk spread of food safety and the behavio...

In the pharmaceutical industry, the development activities that are required to bring a new drug to market involve considerable expense (upwards of $1 Billion) and can take in excess of 10 years. Clinical trials constitute a critically important and very expensive part of this development process as the associated supply chain encompasses producing, distributing and administering the candidate ...

We describe a supply chain management board game which is the first of its kind to illustrate the concepts of shortage gaming, synchronization of the flow of parts, demand uncertainty and its impact on location selection, and customer service. The game in which students assume the roles of supply chain enterprises, builds skills in both decision-making and the execution of operations plans. The...

The supply chain is a world-wide network of suppliers, manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, wholesalers and retailers where raw materials are purchased, processed and transformed to be sold to customers. Customer satisfaction is highly dependent on the flexibility of the supply chain such as its ability to respond to changes in demand. Supply chain management (SCM) is current...

With the constant changes of the market demand trends and modern information technology which greatly influence supply chain operation and management, postponement has been developed to be an important strategy in some of the supply chain processes.
