Capabilities define competitive advantages an organization possesses, and attaining desired capabilities is a challenging task. This paper proposes to use reference models as a basis for the capability design, and it focuses on usage of the SCOR model for designing supply chain management capabilities. The paper outlines a method for the reference model based capability design. The method relie...

The issue of decreasing air quality index due to supply chain transportation is one the problems that must be addressed by manufacturing sector. Green management (GSCM) can a solution address environmental issues in chain. GSCM an integrated view incorporates considerations into conventional chain, ranging from supplier selection, product design, material processes, packaging, and distribution....

spurred by intensifying competition in global markets, most companies have been increasingly implementing supply chain management (scm) and information systems (is) practices. as well, globalization policies have created a more intensive competition amongst manufacturers; in additional the priority of supply over demand, market competition and importance of some factor such as quality, accounta...

The supply chain of agricultural products has received a great deal of attention lately due to issues related to public health. Something that has become apparent is that in the near future the design and operation of agricultural supply chains will be subject to more stringent regulations and closer monitoring, in particular those for products destined for human consumption (agri-foods). This ...

To probe into special port supply chain and analyze the interaction between ports, this paper establishes a port supply chain simulation model through system dynamics (SD) approach, and then, Simulink tool is adopted for that model. Through the simulation, the affluence of some port’s operation improvement on the other is clearly shown and the profit of ports is changed with interaction. What’s...

The reference-price effect refers to the demand deviation caused by consumers’ perceived losses or gains when the current market price of a product differs from a cognitive benchmark (known as a reference price) formed by the customers based on past prices. The impact of such a reference effect on the dynamic pricing policy of a monopolist has been widely studied in the literature. However, des...

Supply chain modelling is an important part of any supply chain improvement initiative. This paper argues that understanding the dynamic behaviour of supply chains is essential to evaluate the impact of adopting different supply chain strategies. Simulation is a key technique for the study of the dynamics of supply chain systems. In recent times a number of simulation systems have emerged that ...

This study divides the sales cycle of fresh agricultural products into two stages according to the features of fresh agricultural products, establishes two pricing strategies according to its sales and through constructing an centralized-control model of supply chain under the constraints of revenue sharing contract and through analyzing different prices in the two stages, it summarizes the sal...

Since 21st century, developing E-commerce has overthrown the traditional tour operation. Tourism supply chain is an alliance established on confidence between each tour operator. And it also changes the traditional business mode. In this paper, the authors make the E-commerce as the breakthrough point, and analyze the traditional tourism supply chain mode, and then propose an evaluation index s...
