Industrial production and trade require efficient and reliable supply networks. Growing interrelations between these networks and the inherent dynamics of the logistics domain result in a high complexity of global supply processes. Application of conventional centralized planning and control to these processes suffers from that complexity. Therefore, a need arises for decentralized methods empl...

In today’s competitive market place, companies seek an efficient structure of supply chain so as to provide customers with highest value and achieve competitive advantage. This requires a broader perspective than just the borders of an individual company during a supply chain. This paper investigates an aggregate production planning problem integrated with distribution issues in a supply chain ...

With progressing technologies and new features of production, new products compete with older ones in markets. Indeed, new products initiate contest with olden ones and this process repeats in different productions lifetime several times. In this situation recycling the olden products seems to be significant for supply chains. Governments often levy special tariffs for these products as a contr...

Food waste stemmed from food contamination and ineffective quality control is a significant challenge to food management. Supply chain traceability has become an essential task of the food industry for guaranteeing food quality and safety and reducing food waste. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has emerged as a lead technology in the development of traceability systems, which enable autom...

The manufacturing costs, sales costs, and ma...

Background: Additive manufacturing (AM) applications in producing spare parts are increasing day by day. AM is bridging the digital and physical world as a 3D computer-aided (CAM) method. The usage of has made supply chain aviation industry simpler, more effective, efficient. Methods: This paper demonstrates impacts on aircraft following systematic literature review. Hence, centralized decentra...

the manufacturing organizations today are having a competition of supply chain versus supply chain. existing research work fails to relate human metrics with supply chain performance. the authors intend to empirically assess the effects of human metrics on supply chain performance in the context of indian manufacturing organizations. a rigorous literature review has identified 12 variables. the...

taking advantage of the new technology, supply chain has already created a chain of cooperation among its own companies, and, in a larger scale, within a universal environment. superior to these technologies is rfid which is an abbreviation for radio frequency identification. rfid is one of the most advanced technologies in the contemporary world. perishable products and hose with short time ex...

This paper studies a dual-channel supply chain composed of retailer and supplier, discusses the optimal decisions participants under decentralized decision-making without with demand disruption, respectively. By comparing in two scenarios, we find that decision after disruption is linear function plus before disruption. Additionally, when interval (? ?u 2 , 1 ), total production equal Moreover,...
