supply chain management has been considered by many researchers in order to coordinate the chain members in this new age so that it is considered as a strategic approach for demands, operations, procurements and managing logistical processes. the present study deals with survey of supply components in supply chain management and their effect on organization performance. the research conceptual ...

Operators of long field-life systems like airplanes are faced with hazards in the supply of spare parts. If the original manufacturers or suppliers of parts end their supply, this may have large impacts on operating costs of firms needing these parts. Existing end-of-supply evaluation methods are focused mostly on the downstream supply chain, which is of interest mainly to spare part manufactur...

Overview: Given the ongoing advancements in additive manufacturing (3D printing), many companies are considering using this digital technology for supply of spare parts. This study identifies advantages and barriers context parts chain management. The case examines perspectives a manufacturer customer chain. We present several questions that practitioners can use to (re)consider their companies.

An appropriate performance measurement system is an important requirement for the effective management of a supply chain. Because of the existence of the intermediate measures connecting the supply chain members, conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) cannot be utilized directly to measure the performance of supply chain and its members. This paper evaluated the performance of supply chai...

As additive manufacturing (AM) evolves to become a common method of producing final parts, further study of this computer integrated technology is necessary. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the potential impact of additive manufacturing improvements on the configuration of spare parts supply chains. This goal has been accomplished through scenario modeling of a real-life spare parts...

The goal and challenge of Shortfall is for students to learn to minimize environmental impact while maximizing profit. The auto industry manufacturing supply chain allows exploration of relationships among design considerations, supply chain management, environmental issues, research and development, and profitability. Although the supply chain in the game is simplified, students can experience...

In supply chain networks, the flow of material occurs between various business entities such as suppliers, manufactures, distributors and retailers, which can be considered as the various echelons (levels) in a multi-echelon supply chain network. Spare parts supply chain management deals with optimizing stocking, purchasing, repairing and disposing activities of purchased parts and their compon...

As goods move from raw material processors through to manufacturers, distributors and retailers, extensive coordination is required throughout the supply chain. Ordering, demand forecasting and inventory decisions at each link in the chain all depend not only an organizations immediate trading partners, but on every link in the supply chain. In the past, there was little coordination among all ...
