Supply chain management is a popular trend for intensive global competition, and the performance analysis plays an important role in improving supply chain. This paper introduces the basic of the supply chain management and performance analysis. We emphasize the importance of building the performance analysis system to evaluate the entire supply chain. Via reviewing the characteristics of suppl...

Amixed integer stochastic programming model is established to support strategic planning of bioenergy supply chain systems and optimal feedstock resource allocation in an uncertain decision environment. The two-stage stochastic programming model, together with a Lagrange relaxation based decomposition solution algorithm, was implemented in a realworld case study in California to explore the pot...

This research studies the single-stage supply chain system operated under JIT technique. A kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking the production processes in a supply chain system. The number of kanbans, batch size, and the number of batches are determined optimally. Based on this information, kanban operation between two adjacent plants can be worked out for controlling the supply c...

results responsiveness, effectiveness, and flexibility with eigenvalue of 2.628 were identified as the main aspects of agility in humanitarian health supply chains. the components of visibility, reactivity, and speed were identified as components of responsiveness. quality, reliability, and completeness were identified as components of effectiveness. volume, delivery, mix, and product were know...

Nowadays, working alone on a context is not sufficient and reaching good and worthy results demands cooperation of multi sciences. Healthcare supply chain is one of these sciences that bridges engineering and healthcare sciences. This paper proposes a new multi–objective model for organ transplant supply chain, which is one of consequential fields in Healthcare supply chain, by aiming at having...

Today’s competition is promoted from firm against firm to supply chain versus supply chain, globalization and competition is a common phenomenon so each organization should make its supply chain as a weapon against the others, in doing so this paper presented a conceptual, graphical, step by step methodology to construct supply chain strategies by integrating strategic management’s ...

In supply chain relationship governance, trust is considered as an important governance mechanism to decrease opportunism. Trust provides commitment, improves transaction efficiency, and implements the supply chain information system. The paper constructs a three-stage dynamic model based on the impact of trust governance on supply chain information system investment. It analyzes supply chain o...

Modern manufacturing enterprises are required to collaborate by their business partners through their business process operations such as design, manufacture, distribution, and aftersales services. And furthermore performance evaluation is of great importance for effective supply chain man agement. Therefore, DEA can help companies to remove some of the in efficiencies in operational processes ...

In this article, manufacturer-retailer supply chain coordination (SCC) has been developed under periodic review inventory system. In the studied model, the retailer as downstream member uses periodic review inventory policy and decides about review period (T) and order-up-to-level (R). Also, the manufacturer as upstream member faces EPQ system and determines the number of shipments from manufac...
