According to the operation of automotive supply chain and the features of various simulation methods, we create and simulate a automotive supply chain network model with the core enterprise of two vehicle manufacturers, consisting of several parts suppliers, vehicle distributors and logistics service providers. On this basis of a conceptual model including the establishment of enterprise layer,...

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...

Bioenergy is attracting more attention worldwide due to its environmental and economic benefits. The design of a feasible biodiesel supply chain network can effectively improve the production use then further promote development industry. As an easy recyclable material with high yield, kitchen waste has good prospect solve public health safety problems. This paper takes producing as object opti...

Changing market environment, global competition, rapidly fluctuating customer demands and more complex global network of supply chains require new production conceptions (Pull, Lean) and technologies. Novel supply chain paradigms (1. Lean-, 2. Agile-, 3. Leagile Supply Chain) are forms in order to increase and maintain competitiveness of companies. New organization and cooperation forms are for...

How does decision-making of individual firms result in the emergence of different supply chain network structures? In this research we use a complex adaptive systems based framework to grow and evolve supply chain networks to answer the question. We are using an agent-based hybrid simulation (discrete time and discrete event) methodology to implement the framework. Preliminary results and analy...

In this study, an optimization model is proposed to design a Global Supply Chain (GSC) for a medical device manufacturer under disruption in the presence of pre-existing competitors and price inelasticity of demand. Therefore, static competition between the distributors’ facilities to more efficiently gain a further share in market of Economic Cooperation Organization trade agreement (ECOTA) is...

A design and planning approach is proposed for addressing general multi-period, multi-product closedloop supply chains (CLSCs), structured as a 10-layer network (5 forward plus 5 reverse flows), with uncertain levels in the amount of raw material supplies and customer demands. The consideration of a multi-period setting leads to a multi-stage stochastic programming problem, which is handled by ...
