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.

in this study, as for the re-casting, surface alloying and re-solidification layer of this alloys at the work piece level machining with wire electro discharge machining (wedm), changes of surface micro hardness with changes of operational parameters has been studied. therefore, study shows using surface alloying phenomena with the diffusion of wire material into the machined surface and select...

This paper explores New York City’s new mandatory information disclosure policy of posting hygiene quality grade cards on restaurant windows. I find that the dual inspection process (initial inspection and re-inspection) has been exploited by restaurants. In particular, after getting an A card in the re-inspection, restaurants frequently revert back to the previous bad hygiene conditions by the...

This paper proposes a re-conceptualization of the port supply chain as a smart service 10 system, according to the theory of the Service science. Starting from a short literature review about 11 the port supply chain approach and the Service science, a new comprehensive framework is 12 provided to better understand the seaport dynamics and the creation of competitive port supply 13 chains. The ...

Supply chain planning models under disruptions are extensively studied in literature. In this paper, we consider a multi-stage supply chain (re)planning problem. We propose a new approach with an explicit connection of performance impact assessment and supply chain plan reconfiguration issues with consideration of the duration of disruptions and the costs of recovery. This approach is based on ...

Automated Identification (Auto ID) applications can provide corporate information systems with the identity of each a physical item in the supply chain in an automated and timely manner. The real time availability of item identity allows other information, related to the item, to be drawn on in order to assess both the current state of the product and future actions required. In the context of ...

The use of System Dynamics Modeling in Supply Chain Management has only recently re-emerged after a lengthy slack period. Current research on System Dynamics Modelling in supply chain management focuses on inventory decision and policy development, time compression, demand amplification, supply chain design and integration, and international supply chain management. The paper first gives an ove...
