Fossil fuels, as the primary source of energy supply in today’s global society, are being depleted much faster than expected and raising serious environmental social concerns for contemporary societies. To deal with issues, a movement towards generation sustainable renewable is underway. One most promising sources alternatives use municipal solid waste, biomass since it does not endanger food s...

Natural disasters and unexpected disruptive events have forced practitioners researchers to build resilience capability into their systems survive grow in tempestuous turbulent times. This study empirically examined the effect of multi-dimensional supply chain flexibility (MDSCF) improving (SCRES) under a high (SC) risk environment. The incorporated survey technique utilized valid responses fro...

Environmental factors, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and soil organic carbon (SOC), should be considered when building a sustainable biofuel supply chain. This work developed three-step optimization approach integrating geographical information system-based mixed-integer linear programming model to economically optimize the chain on premise of meeting certain GHG emission criteria. T...

This article develops an integrated model of transmitting strategies and operational activities to enhance the efficiency of supply chain management. As the second objective, this paper aims to improve supply chain performance management (SCPM) by employing proper decision-making approaches. The proposed model optimizes the performance indicator based on SCOR metrics. A process-based method is ...

Biofuels developed from biomass crops have the potential to supply a significant portion of our transportation fuel needs. To achieve this potential, however, it will be necessary to develop improved plant germplasm specifically tailored to serve as energy crops. Liquid transportation fuel can be created from the sugars locked inside plant cell walls. Unfortunately, these sugars are inherently ...
