Due to the progress of high technology, TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor – Liquid Crystal Display) has been widely put in use recently. The manufacturing technology of the TFT-LCD industry mainly consists of array, cell, module processes, in which there exists special characteristics such as different objectives of individual process’s scheduling, complexity of manufacturing processes, and multi-s...

in this study, a new stochastic model is proposed to deal with a multi-product, multi-period, multi-stage, multi-site production and transportation supply chain planning problem under demand uncertainty. a two-stage stochastic linear programming approach is used to maximize the expected profit. decisions such as the production amount, the inventory level of finished and semi-finished product, t...

Modeling and optimal solving of supply chain management problems lead to efficient decision making in strategic planning and supply chain operations, resulting in a competitive advantage. Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainab...

Purpose — The purpose of this paper is to analyse the prerequisites and effects of centralised supply chain planning at IKEA, and to explore how the planning process, planning system, and planning organization make up a centralised planning approach. Design/method/approach — The paper is based on a longitudinal case study of IKEA's implementation of global supply chain planning. The literature ...

The thesis study reveals that the position of bottleneck is a significant importance in supply chain process. The modern supply chain is characterized as having diverse products due to mass customization, dynamic production technology and ever changing customer demand. Usually customized supply chain process consists of an assemble to order (ATO) or make-to-order (MTO) type of operation. By con...

In supply chain management manufacturing flow lines consist of two or more work areas, arranged in series and/or in parallel, with intermediate storage areas. The first work area processes raw items and the last work area produces end items or products, which are stored in a storage area in anticipation of future demand. Firstly managers should analyze and organize the long term production opti...

supply chain for survival in turbulent and volatile markets need instrument that by its help face with environment challenge. this instrument is agility. thus, in order of modeling agility of supply chain, founded 11 factors and interred in questionnaire and give it to experts of zobahan co. supply chain. analyzed result of 180 received questionnaire and accepted 11 factors that founded before....

With an aim to resolve the problem of the increasing costs of supply chain in Manufacture Company, an integrated supply chain management model, driven by market demand, is brought forward in this paper, based on the analysis of existing integrated models of supply chain. The management model integrates purchase, production and sale plans with logistics plans used JIT. In order to build an integ...
