impact of supply chain drivers on supply chain performance has no far been studied. in this research we want identifying supply chain drivers, classifying them and examining their relationship with iran's supply chain performance. this research has innovation in identifying and classifying drivers and examining relationship between drivers and supply chain performance we used bsc for assessing ...

This paper describes a novel simulation framework that integrates discreteevent modeling with system-dynamics modeling. The former has strength in system performance evaluation; meanwhile, the later has an advantage of representing feedback mechanisms in complex systems. We are currently developing a hybrid-modeling framework, which combines discrete-event modeling with system dynamics modeling...

Supply chains continually face the challenge of efficient decision-making in a complex environment coupled with uncertainty. While plenty of forecasting and analytical tools are available in the market to evaluate and enhance Supply Chains’ performance, the current functionalities are not sufficient to address issues related to efficient decision making under uncertainty. In this paper we discu...

in the emerging supply chain environment, green supply chain risk management plays a significant role than ever. risk is an inherent uncertainty and has tendency to disrupt the typical green supply chain management (gscm) operations and eventually reduce the success rate of industries. in order to mitigate the consequences, a fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making modeling (fmcgdm) which co...

Supply chain management (SCM) is a strategic paradigm to coordinate cash, material, and information flows from raw material to customer. Supply chain simulation (SCS) is a strong and popular tool for designing, evaluating, and optimizing the structure of supply chains, and it requires an important task to estimate the effect of the planning to coordinate such flows in SCM. Stochastic natures ex...

The planning and management of supply chains require properly specifying the participating members and the relationships among them. Construction supply chains usually consist of numerous participants and are complex in structure. Representing construction supply chains using a network model can help understand the complexity, support re-configuration, identify the bottlenecks, and prioritize c...

in today’s complex, dynamic and ever changing modern environment, all companies need to design and use strategies helping them to improve continuous performance, because in such a competitive environment, those companies which keep pace with changing and dynamic conditions of competitive market are able to survive. this study was conducted using descriptive – correlational methodology. the stud...

the aim of this study was to represent effective componentsin demand chain which help organizations attain high performance levelsthrough identification of these components and determining theirdegree of importance. the following questions were major ideas of thisstudy: what are the most effective components in demand chain? andhow are they effective on organizational performance? to this end,m...

Information Technology (IT) has been widely employed in supply chain operations, helping companies to respond to clients’ needs in real time, facilitate paperless transactions, reach out to difficult-toaccess markets, and outperform competitors. This paper presents a theory-driven, validated higherorder construct that measures e-supply chain capability, integrating typical procurement and order...
