this paper proposes a new mathematical model for the integrated procurement-production-distribution problem of a fuzzy mixed integer linear programming (fmilp) type. considering the uncertainty in real problems, a number of parameters such as demand, capacity, and cost where their values are not available or known precisely, have been considered as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. to solve fuzzy mixe...

Certification of Halal food product supply becomes a challenging task as various validating procedures have to be undergone under the emergence of vast business networks in food supply chain. In order to maintain high quality assurance of every validating procedure, and to fulfill demand from immense religious population, highly efficient method will be needed to monitor, to record and to regis...

The capability to improve market responsiveness to meet future uncertain demand is a critical imperative for many firms today. Flexibility in the supply chain to accommodate such changes in demand is a function of the alternative routes a product may take as it travels from the plant where it is made to the distribution center to the regional warehouse and finally to the retailer. From a supply...

Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is developed and maintained by the Supply Chain Council (SCC). The model is a reference model which can be utilized to map benchmark and improve the supply chain operations. SCOR model provides companies with a basic process modeling tool, an extensive benchmark database by defining a set of supply chain metrics. This paper explains the process and...

In this research, a bi-objective model is developed to deal with a supply chain including multiple suppliers, multiple manufacturers, and multiple customers, addressing a multi-site, multi-period, multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) problem. This bi-objective model aims to minimize the total cost of supply chain including inventory costs, manufacturing costs, work force costs, hir...

To help improve customer satisfaction management (CRM), greater emphasis is given to the aspect of quality in the supply chain. And improve supply chain performance through integrated business management and strategic partnerships. On the other hand, strategic supply chain management decisions are made at a company level that determine benefits and efficiencies of the supply chain and effective...

over the years we have witnessed the growing importance of supply chain operations and supply chain management (scm), as supply chains play a major role in every step of the product life cycle. therefore, this paper will dea-based performance evaluation approaches for overall supply chain can be categorized. future perspectives and challenges are discussed

Supply chain network design (SCND) problem has recently been gaining attention because an integrated management of the supply chain (SC) can reduce the unexpected/undesirable events and can affect definitely the efficiency of all the chain. A critical component of the planning activities of a manufacturing firm is the efficient design of its SC. Hence, SCND affords a sensitive platform for effi...

The fair profit distribution problem of a typical supply chain network involving batch production is considered in this article. To implement this concept, we construct a multi-product batch production combined with multi-stage distribution planning model to achieve multiple objectives such as maximizing the customer service level, maximizing the profit of each participant company of the supply...
