The multi-objective optimization for a multi-product multi-period four-echelon supply chain network consisting of manufacturing plants, distribution centers (DCs) and retailers each with uncertain services and uncertain customer nodes are aimed in this paper. The two objectives are minimization of the total supply chain cost and maximization of the average number of products dispatched to custo...

agility is the fundamental characteristic of a supply chain needed for survival in turbulent markets, where environmental forces create additional uncertainty resulting in higher risk in the supply chain management. in addition, agility helps providing the right product, at the right time to the consumer. the main goal of this research is therefore to promote supplier selection in pharmaceutica...

This paper introduces the supply chain networks integration and discusses the interest of synchronization within them. The evaluation of the causes of uncertainties within the supply chain networks is considered. The structure of a threeechelon supply chain is envisaged and the modeling of this structure is carried out. It is shown that the supply chain network can be exposed to both external a...

Growing global demand for energy, result in depletion of easily access source of fossil fuels. To fulfillment of this huge demand, oil and gas industry expanded to develop offshore oil and gas reservoirs in recent years, which made environmental management challenging. IRAN owns one of the biggest offshore gas reservoir in PERSIAN GULF with high geopolitical and financial importance. Along the ...
