in recent years, supplier evaluation and selection, an important element in supply chain management, has been gaining attention in both academic literature and industrial practice. the mixed integer multi-objective non-linear programming model (mimonlp) presented in this paper aimed to evaluate and select the appropriate set of suppliers considering quantitative and qualitative criteria and in ...

In this paper, a mathematical model for the strategic planning and design of supply chains in the globalization context is proposed. A multi-objective function is used to address decisions about capacity sizing, sourcing, and facility location, with the scope of maximizing supply chain profits. The model is dynamic and is applied to a multiechelon, multi-facility and multi-product supply chain ...

Product recovery has become significant business strategies to increase a competitive edge in and also the society. Parts from discarded products due rapid advancement post-consumer before & after end-of-life (EOL) are recovered reduce landfill waste have part of circular economy. is made possible with help Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). This paper concentrates on multi-period, multi-prod...

The Supply Chain is considered a necessity for the success of organizations seeking the most economic, environmental and social impacts. In addition, the implementation and suitable execution of this supply chain seems to be necessary. Considering the importance of the social impacts of this supply chain, a fuzzy multi-objective mathematical model is provided such that, in addition to consideri...

The objective of this paper is to describe a control technique that can be use in a supply chain environment. A multi-product, multi-stage manufacturing system was built and simulation was used to analyse the system behaviour. System benefits were investigated based on the behaviour of the following performance measures: flow time, lateness, work in progress and production cost.

from the beginning of emerging concept of supply chain, a variety of strategies or paradigms have been developed for supply chain organizations .the most important paradigms are four main paradigms, namely the lean, agile, resilience and green. each of these paradigms has advantages and disadvantages. using the benefits of this paradigms and the plan to eliminate the disadvantages of each parad...

"Egypt is one of the most countries that face the problem of drug counterfeit, counterfeit trade is near to 1 billion LE, out of 12 billion LE the volume of drug market trade in Egypt" As announced by the official speaker of the ministry of Health and Population in Egypt. Hence, it can be seen that the drug counterfeit problem is a threatening problem nationally and internationally. Due to the ...

Manufacturing managers face increasing pressure to reduce inventories across the supply chain. However, in complex supply chains, it is not always obviouswhere to hold safety stock to minimize inventory costs and provide a high level of service to the final customer. In this paper we develop a framework for modeling strategic safety stock in a supply chain that is subject to demand or forecast ...
