For supply chain optimization, as a key determinant of strategic resources mobility along the value-added chain, simulation is widely used to test the impact on supply chain performance for the strategic level decisions, such as the number of plants, the modes of transport, or the relocation of warehouses. Traditionally, a single centralized model that encompasses multiple participants in the s...

The revenue management concept and techniques are applied to model the coordination of supply chain elements. The fundamental premise of this approach is synchronization of a group of business entities consist-ing of a manufacturer and multiple suppliers to achieve an optimal supply chain capacity plans. The output of the supply chain can be various products and thus it is measured in terms of ...

Numerous researchers and practitioners are attracted to sustainability in supply chains (SCS) and it has become one of the favorite topics among academics and industries. The purpose of this paper is to review and analyze the research studies that have been published in the field of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). A total 242 articles published between 2000 and 2019 reviewed. Conten...

(ABSTRACT) Supply chain management has been recently introduced to address the integration of organizational functions ranging from the ordering and receipt of raw materials throughout the manufacturing processes, to the distribution and delivery of products to the customer. Its application demonstrates that this idea enables organizations to achieve higher quality products, better customer ser...

In the contemporary global market, managing the entire supply chain has become crucial for competitive advantage in different industries. However, the realization and success of supply chain management (SCM) depends significantly on the previous supply chain modeling and simulation for analyzing complex systems. This study develops a modular approach for system analysis and design of supply cha...

Increasing global competition has led to massive outsourcing of manufacturing businesses. Such outsourcing practices require effective collaborations between the manufacturing companies and their partners by sharing a large amount of information. In the meantime, since some of the partners are also potential competitors, protection of confidential information, particularly intellectual property...

On the basis of reviews on related literatures based on complexity science and complex adaptive system of supply chain management research, the development process of supply chain management has been analyzed, and several advantages to apply complex adaptive system in supply chain management research have been put forward. It has broad application prospects to study the coordination development...

We discuss SISCO, the Simulator for Integrated Supply Chain Operations, a Java-based tool that simplifies supply chain simulation model development. SISCO maps supply chain descriptions stored in the XML-based Supply Chain Modeling Language (SCML) format to a set of supply chain “building blocks” developed with ThreadTec’s SilkTM simulation classes. The resulting system combines the ease of a v...

the manufacturing organizations today are having a competition of supply chain versus supply chain. existing research work fails to relate human metrics with supply chain performance. the authors intend to empirically assess the effects of human metrics on supply chain performance in the context of indian manufacturing organizations. a rigorous literature review has identified 12 variables. the...
