Optimization and simulation for design of multi-objective, multi-echelon supply chain system
… strategy, aggregation, on a multi-echelon supply chain network by managing demand volatility is discussed in this research. For this an operational supply chain design is considered. Multi-echelon network consisting of manufacturing plants, distribution centers, warehouses, and retailers is used …

Enhancing service providers reliability by mitigating supply chain risk : the case of telecommunication networks
… providers are not as dependent on their supply chain as product companies are, a closer look of some relevant systems shows that a stable and resilient supply chain is a key for both maintaining service and growing it. A wireless network provider which does not have spare parts in place to …

Investigation of the Environmental Effect of Unit Load Design Optimization Using Physical Interaction Between Pallets and Corrugated Boxes
… stored, and transported through the supply chain system in unit load form consisting of pallets, corrugated boxes, and load stabilizers. Hence, it is important to holistically understand the environmental impact of not only individual packaging levels, but also the unit load form. We can use …

Prethermalization and localization in quantum spin chains
How can a quantum many-body system escape the fate of thermalization is of importance to both fundamental study of quantum statistical physics and applications in quantum devices. Here we develop novel experimental and computational tools to address this question. First, novel control techniques …

Designing and Implementing Hard Drive Inventory Policies for Enterprise Computing Solutions
… the inventory behavior of the existing supply chain system, and generating inventory policies that more accurately reflect consumption within the system. Three parameterized inventory policies have been built and tested.

Development of a Pharmaceutical Tablet Authentication system using Spectroscopic Techniques in combination with Multivariate Chemometric Methods
… world are falsified. Unfortunately, the supply chain system of developing countries (from manufacturers to customers) is not well monitored and suffers the highest rates of fraudulent activities. Also, the rise of product procurement from the internet increases the chance of American consumers' …

Supply Chain Revenue Management Considering Components' Quality and Reliability
… that impact the performance of the supply chain. Stochastic reliability affects the final production quantity and hence makes it more difficult to predict the manufacturer's best ordering quantity as opposed to the simpler traditional news vendor model. In addition, the quality of …

Framework for selection of distribution strategies
… the existing infrastructure of the supply chain system set up long ago, faces an increasing pressure to meet new challenges and needs to be restructured. A seasonal seed manufacturing company, such as Seed Corp, has only five months of manufacturing time in the Fall each year. Customers …

Vendor Managed Inventory: A new approach to supply chain management
The Global Supply Chain Forum (Stanford Global Supply Chain Forum Web Resource, http://www.stanford.edu/groups/scforum) defines supply chain management (SCM) as “Supply chain management is the integration of key business processes from end user through original suppliers that provides products, …

Reliability, robustness, and resilience of complex supply chain systems: design optimization and analysis under uncertainty
… rates of individual factories in a supply chain system (SCS), the interactions among connected factories and the impact of those interactions on overall supply chain reliability, robustness, and resilience have been rarely studied. Moreover, ensuring the reliability, robustness, and …

Differential evolution optimisation of a two echelon inventory system.
… inventory optimisation in a two-echelon supply chain setting. The study of DE in application to supply chain planning is limited; thus, we present a well-known hard discrete non-linear stochastic optimisation problem to determine the inventory investment for a two-echelon supply chain system. …
