Supply chain risks, vulnerabilities, complexity and uncertainties have emerged as key challenges to supply chain management. Supply chain risk management assumes importance in making the organizations understand that their risk sensitivity is dependent on other constituents of their supply chain. These risks are prone to disruptions, Forecast inaccuracies, breakdowns, economic and political cha...

The main objective of this paper is to provide the reader with a state of the art on the supply chain resilience. Markets globalization and global supply chains have to be regarded as business opportunities of economic development for each supply chain actor, but at the same time, they introduce a number of risks and vulnerabilities that affect the capability of the supply chains to maintain eq...

Natural disasters and unexpected disruptive events have forced practitioners researchers to build resilience capability into their systems survive grow in tempestuous turbulent times. This study empirically examined the effect of multi-dimensional supply chain flexibility (MDSCF) improving (SCRES) under a high (SC) risk environment. The incorporated survey technique utilized valid responses fro...

The supply chain represents the critical link between the development of new product and the market in pharmaceutical industry. Over the years, improvements made in supply chain operations have focused largely on ways to reduce cost and gain efficiencies in scale. In addition, powerful regulatory and market forces have provided new incentives for pharmaceutical firms to basically rethink the wa...

Agent based modeling and simulation consider the behavior of agents acting in a system. The agents' interactions result in changing the agent’s behavior, the whole agent based system, and its environment. In this study, the manufacturing, sale, and receiving orders behaviors pertinent to manufacturing and sale agents acting across a pharmaceutical supply chain of an Iranian manufacturing medici...

Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is the process of risk mitigation in supply chains achieved through collaboration, coordination and application of risk management tools among the partners, to ensure continuity coupled with long-term profitability of the supply chain. Supply chain risks emanate from multiple sources and similarly risk mitigation in supply chains is dependent on several varia...
