We explore the economics of ransomware on production supply chains. Integrated chains result in a mutual-dependence between firms that can be exploited by cyber-criminals. For instance, we show targeting one firm network criminals potentially hold multiple to ransom. Overlapping security systems may also allow strike at weak points network. it optimal for attacker target supplier order ransom l...

Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is developed and maintained by the Supply Chain Council (SCC). The model is a reference model which can be utilized to map benchmark and improve the supply chain operations. SCOR model provides companies with a basic process modeling tool, an extensive benchmark database by defining a set of supply chain metrics. This paper explains the process and...

Recent supply chain literature are mainly concentrated on the quality of conventional supply chain information systems, the study on the e-fulWllment has not been visibly noticeable. This paper uses factor analysis to determine four e-fulWllment success factors: information quality, service quality, system quality, and work performance quality. Later, this paper uses discriminant analysis metho...

In a mining supply chain, products from mines are blended at port terminals to ensure that set of blending targets (such as grade and qualities) achieved. The production scheduling problem each individual mine the for network ports constitute integrated optimisation, which involves modelling material flows mine-side pits port-side stockpiles. Due scale bilinear constraints behaviours, is comput...
