Abstract To improve the flexibility of system, flexible resources are added to planning renewable energy systems for collaborative optimization. Firstly, three quantitative indicators introduced build a distributed double-layer distribution network model that considers and more detailed cost is considered based on existing research. Secondly, scheduling optimization controllable loads coordinat...

Supply chain information flow significantly influences material flow behaviour. To improve supply chain performance, efficient information sharing practices are largely recommended. However limited knowledge exists on how companies should choose their supply chain planning approaches and the extent to which information is required. Additionally, current literature does not give answers to the q...

In a competitive market environment, supply chain management (SCM) has been critical for companies to survive. Demand planning plays an important role in SCM, for it provides accurate demand forecasts which may achieve customer satisfaction by offering benefits such as low inventory level, short lead time, efficient resource allocation, and quick response. To obtain more accurate forecasts, thi...

This paper is concerned with demand planning for internal supply chains consisting of workstations, production facilities, warehouses, and transportation links. We address the issue how to help a supplier firmly accept orders subsequently plan fulfill demand. first formulate linear aggregate model management that incorporates elements order promising, recipe run constraints, capacity limitation...

today the domain of competition in production and operation has been changed to supply chains for independent firms. in this problem material flow is very important among three flows, financial, information and materials. traditional approach is dominated in supply, production and distribution planning at most iranian industrial cooperation. it means that each of these unit are planning their a...

e electricity supply chain is changing, due to increasing awareness for sustainability and an improved energy e›ciency. e traditional infrastructure where demand is supplied by centralized generation is subject to a transition towards a Smart Grid. In this Smart Grid, sustainable generation from renewable sources is accompanied by controllable distributed generation, distributed storage and dem...
