results responsiveness, effectiveness, and flexibility with eigenvalue of 2.628 were identified as the main aspects of agility in humanitarian health supply chains. the components of visibility, reactivity, and speed were identified as components of responsiveness. quality, reliability, and completeness were identified as components of effectiveness. volume, delivery, mix, and product were know...

Today’s competition is promoted from firm against firm to supply chain versus supply chain, globalization and competition is a common phenomenon so each organization should make its supply chain as a weapon against the others, in doing so this paper presented a conceptual, graphical, step by step methodology to construct supply chain strategies by integrating strategic management’s ...

Modern manufacturing enterprises are required to collaborate by their business partners through their business process operations such as design, manufacture, distribution, and aftersales services. And furthermore performance evaluation is of great importance for effective supply chain man agement. Therefore, DEA can help companies to remove some of the in efficiencies in operational processes ...

To help improve customer satisfaction management (CRM), greater emphasis is given to the aspect of quality in the supply chain. And improve supply chain performance through integrated business management and strategic partnerships. On the other hand, strategic supply chain management decisions are made at a company level that determine benefits and efficiencies of the supply chain and effective...

This paper addresses a production and outbound distribution scheduling problem in which a set of jobs have to be process on a single machine for delivery to customers or to other machines for further processing. We assume that there is a sufficient number of vehicles and the delivery costs is independent of batch size but it is dependent on each trip. In this paper, we present an Artificial Imm...

The Trading Agent Competition (TAC) Supply Chain Management (SCM) game presents trading agents with several difficult scheduling decisions. Each agent must decide how to build and deliver goods across multiple time periods in the presence of uncertain information about the environment. Stochastic programming (SP) is suggested as a natural, adaptable, and robust solution to scheduling in stochas...

In order to find a novel method for solving the water resources scheduling problem more effectively, the strategies of supply chain management were introduced and the calculation model was established. Then, the artificial fish swarm algorithm was employed to solve this problem. To avoid the premature defect of the basic artificial fish swarm algorithm, the improved adaptive algorithm was propo...
