in today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. this paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. it is assumed that all transportations a...

In this work, a framework to model the Supply Chain (SC) Collaborative Planning (CP) process is proposed. The main contributions of this framework concern 1) the presentation of the decision view, the most important one due to the characteristics of the process, jointly within the physical, organisation and information views, and 2) the simultaneous consideration of the spatial and temporal int...

Abstract/Résumé : The supply planning of agricultural products and in particular perishable products is a critical issue in the supply chain management field due to high safety and quality risks associated with the delays in the products delivery. This work is concerned with the planning of a real agri-food supply chain for poultry products. More precisely the problem is to redesign the existin...

Planning systems for supply chain management can be designed in different ways in order to achieve the multiple objectives of supply chain management. Two of these objectives are responsiveness and efficiency of the system. In this paper, a System Dynamics simulation model is used to assess the performance of planning approaches for supply chains in the high-tech electronics industry on the dim...

The supply chain of agricultural products has received a great deal of attention lately due to issues related to public health. Something that has become apparent is that in the near future the design and operation of agricultural supply chains will be subject to more stringent regulations and closer monitoring, in particular those for products destined for human consumption (agri-foods). This ...
