Rumor spreading is an important factor resulting in supply chain demand disruption. A supply-chain demand change prediction model is developed based on a new rumor spreading model, Susceptible-Infective-Isolated-Immune (SI2I) model. In this model, the impact of rumors on demand can be quantitatively reflected by the proportion of ignorants and immunes in the population.

Nowadays, logistics and supply chain management (SCM) is critical to compete in the current turbulent markets. In addition, in the global context, there are many uncertainties which affect on the market. One of the most important risks is supplier disruption. The first step to cope with these uncertainties is quantifying them. In this regard many researches have focused on the problem but measu...

Pricing is one of the major aspects of decision making in supply chain. In the previous works mostly a centralized environment is considered indicating the retailers cannot independently apply their decisions on the pricing strategy. Although in a two-echelon decentralized environment it may be possible that supply chain contributors have encountered with different market power situations which...

Social responsibility is a key factor that could result in success and achieving great benefits for supply chains. Responsiveness and reliability are important social responsibility measures for consumers and all stakeholders that strategists and company managers should be concerned about them in long-term planning horizon. Although, presence of uncertainties as an intrinsic part of supply chai...

We consider a three-level distribution network involving a raw material supplier with imperfect quality, a manufacturer and several retailers. A production-inventory model accompanied by a partial backlogging approach is developed by considering random disruptions. Any batch received from the supplier is inspected by the manufacturer and if any flaw is visited, all the goods in the inspected ba...

In this paper the risk of supply chain disruptions is investigated in relations to different policies of inventory replenishment. The increasing attention to this issue in the academic and business, has strongly motivated the development of this work, above all to obtain analysis of costs in terms of distributions and variability. The goal is to enrich literature in constant growth and allow co...

Recent events have highlighted the need for planners to consider the risk of disruptions when designing supply chain networks. Supply chain disruptions have a number of causes and may take a number of forms. Once a disruption occurs, there is very little recourse regarding supply chain infrastructure because these strategic decisions cannot be changed quickly. Therefore, it is critical to accou...

To manage supply chain disruptions, many diverse organizational cultures must work together to restore services and help ensure resiliency. We use a model of culture taken from social anthropology, economics and public management illustrated through two interorganizational cases of humanitarian supply chain disruption: the Federal Emergency Management Agency contracting with Universe Truck Line...

Market disruptions and changes make the assessment process of supply chain performance more complex. Hence, implementation key indicators to evaluate ability cope with these has received increasing attention. Reconfigurability provide quickly change structure functions by its responsiveness flexibility deal disruptions. This paper aims analyze contributions researchers in field evaluation under...
