As part of supply chain optimizations, Ford of Europe currently focuses primarily on Micro-level investigations and mainly operates on stability of lean manufacturing systems.The value chain optimization on the Micro-level is based on a clearly defined and standardized methodology. Based on a detailed...
We are here to help you. In this guide, we’ll show how with the help of root cause analysis you can find possible challenges and opportunities your business has. Then, we’ll list the most popular types of supply chain optimization software that can help you with solving the issues you...
An emerging alternative for achieving these attributes is the sustainable closed-loop supply chain (SCLSC). This paper offers a critical review of the literature on SCLSCs, their formulation as mathematical problems and the associated optimization models. No literature reviews were found with the ...
mixed integer linear programming (MILP) has been chosen to assist the DCs in making their decisions. As described in this section, coordination within MILP models has been widely used in the literature for system analysis and optimization (Timpe & Kallrath,2000; Lavoie & ...
This paper presents a methodology to define a supply chain (SC) inventory management policy, which is based on the framework of (s, S) stock and fuzzy set theory. The fuzzy set theory is used to properly model the uncertainty associated with both market demand and inventory level. Two inven...
An action research, case study approach used the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology to design an information technology solution that effectively communicates information between the layers within the supply chain regarding the movement of materials via inland tank barges. The comparative analysis ...
The primary purpose of this paper is to develop a model to help determine optimal product/service, process and supply chain configurations in a concurrent fashion. For that purpose, a concurrent engineering framework and an optimization model that incorporate supply chain design and life cycle costing...
It is a genetic algorithm on the basis of granular simulation which is the subject of the methodology of this research. In part II, MCCSC is simulated using Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) device within an integrated environment of SimEvents and Simulink of MATLAB; software package followed by ...
Supply Chain Operation refers to the management of the flow of goods and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption, involving complex processes to ensure security and efficiency in the supply chain. AI generated definition based on: Cargo Theft, Loss Prevention, and Supply Ch...
2010). Integration is considered as the degree of supply chain optimization (Romano 2003), while coordination is a pattern of decision-making and communication (Malone 1987) among supply chain actors. Coordination and integration are highly intertwined (Wever et al. 2009). Integration in supply ...
