Due to occurrence of unexpected disruptions,a resilient supply chain design is important. In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a resilient supply chain including suppliers, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers under disruption risks.The first objective function minimizes total costs. The second objective function maximizes satisfied demands. We use the augmented e-...

The observation of memory recovery following post-training amnestic interventions has historically caused controversy over the meaning of this finding, leading some authors to question the paradigm of a consolidation period for memories. Similarly, recent demonstrations of transient amnesia caused by interventions following memory reactivation have been used to question the existence of a retri...

BACKGROUND Human factors engineering has allowed a systematic approach to the evaluation of adverse events in a multitude of high-stake industries. This study sought to develop an initial methodology for identifying and classifying flow disruptions in the cardiac operating room (OR). METHODS Two industrial engineers with expertise in human factors workflow disruptions observed 10 cardiac oper...

This article considers a resource allocation problem for monitoring infrastructure networks facing strategic disruptions. The network operator is interested in determining the minimum number of sensors and a sensing strategy, to ensure a desired detection performance against simultaneous failures induced by a resourceconstrained attacker. To address this problem, we formulate a mathematical pro...

For as long as there have been supply chains, there have been disruptions, and no supply chain, logistics system, or infrastructure network is immune to them. Nevertheless, supply-chain disruptions have only recently begun to receive significant attention from practitioners and researchers. One reason for this growing interest is the spate of recent high-profile disruptions, such as September 1...

Firms that rely on functioning mission-critical equipment for their businesses cannot a¤ord signi…cant operational downtime due to system disruptions. To minimize the impact of disruptions, a proper incentive mechanism has to be in place so that the suppliers provide prompt restoration and recovery services to the customer. A widely adopted incentive mechanism is performance-based contracting (...

Original scientific paper Disruptions can destroy the stability of a supply chain resulting in losses in business, thus, determining the influence of various disruptions on a supply chain is significant. However, current studies have mainly concentrated on the stability of a supply chain under normal conditions, exploring the effects of inventory level on the system state and omitting the influ...
