today, companies need to make use of appropriate patterns such as supply chain management system to gain and preserve a position in competitive world-wide market. supply chain is a large scaled network consists of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, retailers and final customers which are in coordination with each other in order to transform products from raw materials into finished goods wit...

fluorescent monitoring of dna amplification is the basis of real-time pcr. absolute quantification can be achieved using a standard curve method. the standard curve is constructed by amplifying known amounts of standards under identical conditions to that of the samples.the objective of the current study is to propose a mathematical model to assess the acceptability of pcr resulys.four commerci...

Supply chain coordination has become a critical success factor for supply chain management (SCM). In the past few years, the researchers have widely emphasized that cooperation among supply chain (SC) firms is a key source of competitive advantage. This paper is focused on supply chain coordination from the perspective of inventory management. Li and Liu [1] developed a model for illustrating h...

todays, improving the competitiveness of companies and rapidly responding to diverse customers’ demands requires efficient management of the supply chain. integration is one of the effective indices in a supply chain, and vendor managed inventory (vmi) is one of the innovative approaches in this field. in this paper, an integrated model based on a vmi system for deteriorating and ameliorating i...

Nowadays, automakers have faced complexity of supply chain that have to improve procedures and processes in order to access high performance in both strategic and operational. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate model of strategic performance of supply chain (SPSC), which include information technology (IT), organizational learning (OL), and Product innovation (PRI) via qualitative...

Reverse supply chain is a process dealing with the backward flows of used/damaged products or materials. Reverse supply chain includes activities such as collection, inspection, reprocess, disposal and redistribution. A well-organized reverse supply chain can provide important advantages such as economic and environmental ones. In this study, we propose a general framework and formulate a m...

This paper presents a dual-objective facility programming model for a green supply chain network. The main objectives of the presented model are minimizing overall expenditure and negative environmental impacts of the supply chain. This study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating uncertainty in customer demand, suppliers, production, and casting capacity. An industrial case st...
