totoday’s market place is increasingly dynamic and volatile. in this area supply network issues recently have attracted a lot of attention from industrial practitioners and academics worldwide. chaos theory is the study of complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems. for chaotic systems, a tiny change in conditions may result in an enormous change in system output, whereas substantial changes in condit...

the increasing emphasis on supply chain management (scm) has led researchers to rethink models, constructs, and frameworks for quality management (qm) that have been developed for the field of operations management. in this paper, within the framework of a structural model we investigate how these two supply chain management-related quality practices (customer focus and supplier quality managem...

The construction project is a business full of risk in every process due to its complexity, changes, and involvement from various stakeholders. One of the critical risks in the construction project is in the supply chain. Identifying and assessing the risk with the right tools and methods in that area will inevitably affect the success of the project. Unfortunately, the research for the tools a...

The article addresses the issues of Supply Chain (SC) performance measurement the process of qualifying the efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain. The aim of this study is to create a supply chain measurement framework for manufacturing industry. The research is based on a review of the current understanding of supply chain management and literature related to supply chain performanc...

The index is excellent by the Malmquist index as extended to productivity measurement. The index developed here is defined in terms of input cost rather than input quantity distance functions in supply chain. Therefore, we propose productivity change is decomposed into overall efficiency and cost technical change. These decompositions provide a clearer situation of the root sources of supply ch...

Many supply chain problems involve optimization of various conflicting objectives. This paper formulates a green supply chain network throughout a two-stage mixed integer linear problem with uncertain demand and stochastic environmental respects level. The first objective function of the proposed model considers minimization of supply chain costs while the second objective function minimizes CO...

Nowadays, in turbulent and violate global markets, agility has been considered as a fundamental characteristic of a supply chain needed for survival. To achieve the competitive edge, companies must align with suppliers and customers to streamline operations, as well as agility beyond individual companies. Consequently Agile Supply Chain (ASC) is considered as a dominant competitive advantage.  ...

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...

Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...

 Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to present a new model of non-radial data envelopment analysis that is able to evaluate the systems one of these complete networks is supply chain of cement industry. In this paper, using a non-radial model in data envelopment analysis, a model with a network structure that can assess the sustainable supply chain of strategic industries is evaluated....
