Supply chain network design in perishable product has become a challenging task due to its short life time, spoilage of product in degradation nature and stochastic market demand. This paper focused on designing and optimizing model for perishable product in stochastic demand, which comprises multiple levels from producer, local collector, wholesaler and retailers. The ultimate goal is to optim...

Distribution network design as a strategic decision has long-term effect on tactical and operational supply chain management. In this research, the location-allocation problem is studied under demand uncertainty. The purposes of this study were to specify the optimal number and location of distribution centers and to determine the allocation of customer demands to distribution centers. The m...

supply chain network   receding horizon control demand move suppression term   supply chain networks are interconnection and dynamics of a demand network. example subsystems, referred to as stages, include raw materials, distributors of the raw materials, manufacturers, distributors of the manufactured products, retailers, and customers. the main objectives of the control strategy for the suppl...

Demand for supplies, such as ammunition, during a military operation is a scenario-dependent random variable that may be subject to high variance. The challenge is to design an efficient military logistics supply chain that satisfies uncertain, nonstationary demands, while taking into account the volatility and singularity of military operations. This research focuses on the development of a mo...

We consider a model of a supply chain consisting of n production facilities in tandem and producing a single product class. External demand is met from the finished goods inventory maintained in front of the most downstream facility (stage 1); unsatisfied demand is backlogged. We adopt a base-stock production policy at each stage of the supply chain, according to which the facility at stage i p...

The parameters of quality control and inspection are considered as important factors affecting market demand, the “ERC” fairness preference model is introduced to construct a supply chain decision when retailer manufacturer have fair preferences respectively. Through numerical calculation examples, we further observe internal relationship between variables other such product price demand in cas...

This study aims to develop a new one-vendor multiple-buyers integrated inventory model. We believe that our proposed model can forecast the demand of all buyers in coming future by using data have already existed and minimize total cost-for both vendors. In recent days, Markov chain approach has played one critical methods forecasting Supply Chain Management (SCM) field. The this is analysis sp...

The type of industry we want to analyze in this paper is comprised of multiple manufacturers, each selling differentiated products through multiple exclusive retailers. The retailers are faced with fixed market prices but uncertain demands. Industries falling in this category include telecommunication industry, fast food chains, gasoline, etc. The manufacturers competition, the retailers compet...
