This paper discusses the importance of strategy use in regulating cognitive processes, with a particular interest in co-regulation of the learning by peers in technology enhanced learning environments. Research on self-regulated learning has focused on cognitive, motivational and emotional regulation in relation to academic achievement. Co-regulation is an important facet of the regulatory proc...

Simulation is a very useful tool for predicting supply chain performance. Because there are no standard simulation elements that represent accurately the activities in a supply chain, there exist a variety of approaches for developing supply chain simulation models. To improve this situation, this paper describes a novel supply chain simulation framework that follows the Supply Chain Operations...

Combining with the collaborations between business customers and suppliers, traditional purchasing and logistics functions have evolved into a broader concept of materials and distribution management, namely, supply chain management (SCM) (Tan, 2001). This chapter reviews the literature of SCM from several paths that can be the basis of a proposed framework for SCM within academic and manageria...

In recent years, significant attention has been given to understanding and implementing extended enterprise management solutions – efforts that integrate product, process, and information flows within and across organizational boundaries. The global competitive business environment, complex and rapidly changing customer demands, and advances in information technology forced enterprises to look ...

RFId systems show great potentials enhancing supply chain performances. Some of the major retailers in the World (Wall Mart, Metro Group, Tesco) made sounding campaigns promoting the benefits they were able to attain. Despite the increase in the number of researches on RFId benefits, a study investigating their measurement in the supply chain context is still lacking. This paper aims at identif...

Nowadays, where most of the leading economies are service oriented and e-business is being widely used for their management, supply chain management has become one of the most studied and practiced fields. Quality has an important role on today’s business processes, so it is important to understand the impact of IT service quality on the performance of supply chains. This paper will start by an...

Nowadays, the incremental use of component-based simulation presents a new challenge to overcome. So, the researchers and software developers are putting attention to solve problems as interoperability and reuse of components. In the supply chain context, this simulation paradigm is very valuable because allows us to develop independent models and then interconnect them using middleware softwar...

bullwhip effect phenomenon is what reduces the efficiency of the supply chain. the effect occurs when demand changes in the supply chain face with a lot of volatility. so far, several key factors have been identified as causes of this phenomenon. since the steel industry, is the basic one, its efficiency is of great importance. therefore, in this study influencing factors on bullwhip effect in ...
