In the era of globalization, industries critical metals are organized through global supply chain. However, chains have been disrupted since 2020 by outbreak COVID-19 and a series geopolitical crises. To better address chain challenges metals, review is needed about sources, propagation, responses risks. Firstly, this provides an overview research progress in identifying risk sources assessing ...

managing the supply chain plays an important role in creating competitive advantages for companies. adequate information flow in supply chain is one of the most important issues in scm. therefore, using certain information systems can have a significant role in managing and integrating data and information within the supply chain. pharmaceutical supply chain is more complex than many other supp...

this study was carried out to 1. determine spatial variations of heavy metal deposition in agricultural soils of two rural communities (ouledbouaicha and tazakourte) of about 5790 ha in a mining area near marrakech city in morocco; 2. to assess the extent of metallic pollution generated by the mining activity and; 3. to identify the key mechanism responsible for this contamination and its relat...

The rate of metal use has risen rapidly in recent decades resulting in increasing amounts of landfilled mining wastes and produced metals being stockpiled as in-use products. These two reservoirs will become important for their metal content recovery over the next decades as a result of population growth, increasing per capita resource use, and anticipated metal price increases due to supply li...

In a mining supply chain, products from mines are blended at port terminals to ensure that set of blending targets (such as grade and qualities) achieved. The production scheduling problem each individual mine the for network ports constitute integrated optimisation, which involves modelling material flows mine-side pits port-side stockpiles. Due scale bilinear constraints behaviours, is comput...

From a global perspective, the evolution process of Taiwan’s economic and industrial development has been profoundly affected by globalization and regional economies. Transforming Taiwanese businesses from OEM to ODM meant not only strengthening the partnership with international companies, but also adding value through product-oriented innovation rather than process-oriented innovation. Howeve...

Due to that many fuzzy and uncertain association relations represented by some phenomenon in the process of enterprises cooperation in supply chain, data mining method was try out in this paper. At first, concept and deducing procedure was introduced, and then 300 samples from a survey was pretreatment, in succession cooperation relations of enterprises in supply chain was studied combined with...

Sustainable metal supply will be essential to achieve climate and sustainability goals (e.g., Paris agreement), for instance by providing the necessary raw materials renewable energy infrastructure systems. The potential exploitation of mineral resources from deep sea polymetallic nodules) can play a major role in this supply. A holistic environmental analysis is needed, order consider entire v...
