Manufacturers are establishing smaller supplier network for enhanced cooperation, developmental efficiency and specialization. However, it limits manufacturing flexibility manifested by supplier capacity, disruptive events and customer attitudes. Methodology for modeling flexible assembler-suppliers relationships to manage supply chains in emerging markets is described. Supplier database, decis...

This paper introduces the supply chain networks integration and discusses the interest of synchronization within them. The evaluation of the causes of uncertainties within the supply chain networks is considered. The structure of a threeechelon supply chain is envisaged and the modeling of this structure is carried out. It is shown that the supply chain network can be exposed to both external a...

Supply chain management is likely to play an important role in the digital economy. In this paper, we first describe major issues in traditional supply chain management. Next, we focus our attention on the supply chain issues of visibility, supplier relationships, distribution and pricing, customization, and real-time decision technologies that have risen to importance with the prevalence of e-...

Supply chain management (SCM) has become a potentially valuable way of securing competitive advantage and improving organizational performance. This research develops three constructs of e Supply chain capability (procurement, make and delivery) and tests the relationships between e-Supply chain capability, competitive advantage, and organizational performance. Data for the study were collected...

Resilient supply chains are often inherently dependent on the nature of their complex interconnected networks that simultaneously multi-dimensional and multi-layered. This article presents a Supply Chain Network (SCN) model can be used to regulate downstream relationships towards sustainable SME using 4-component cost function structure - Environmental (E), Demand (D), Economic Social (S). As m...

Purpose: The present study aims to identify the critical factors of supply chain finance and interrelationship between using interpretive structural modeling. Methodology: Factors were identified from literature experts both industry academia consulted assess contextual relationships factors. Then, we applied modeling examine interrelationships these find out Findings: model outcome indicates i...

Many commercial and academic simulation tools have been released to capture the operating strategies necessary to enhance the efficiency of the supply chain. However, the supply chain’s dynamic nature caused due to the concurrent flow of various parts as well as sharing of different types of resources requires inevitable hand-woven codes to fully implement all the activities in modeling simulat...

The unique and complex challenges of sustainable interplanetary travel necessitate a novel space logistics paradigm, which is hereafter referred to as the supply chain. To lay groundwork for this anticipated paradigm shift, work aims introduce principles methodologies chain (SC) planning field logistics. end, stochastic multistage mixed integer linear programming model proposed that explores vi...
