In the last years several software vendors such as I2, Manugistics, SAP and others have started to develop and sell so-called Advanced Planning Systems (APS). They claim to support the integrated, capacity-focused and optimal planning of operations in complex global supply chains. For a practical planner it is often not clear, what these APS really do, as the specific type of planning model and...

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...

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...

Purpose – The purpose of this research paper is to offer a solution to differentiate supply chain planning for products with different demand features and in different life-cycle phases. Design/methodology/approach – A normative framework for selecting a planning approach was developed based on a literature review of supply chain differentiation and supply chain planning. Explorative mini-cases...

In this paper, the large amplitude nonlinear rolling motion and capsizing behavior of an offshore supply vessel hull-form is analyzed. In order to investigate the importance of damping, a dynamical perturbation technique (Vishnubhotla, Falzarano and Vakakis, 1998) is applied to the hull using various approximations to the roll damping. The offshore supply vessel (OSV) is probably one of the mos...
