Supply chain management generally seeks to reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, and gain a competitive advantage for all members of the chain. If decisions are made independently, there can be no guarantee that network members will reach the optimal decision as a whole. In integrated buyer-vendor optimization models, decisions are made cent...

Nowadays, the use of electrical energy storage has a significant role in flatting the load curve, peak shaving, increasing reliability and also increasing the penetration of distributed generation, reducing carbon emissions, and reducing network losses. In this article, a three-echelon power supply chain is investigated considering energy storage a...

Supply Chain Planning Based-on SAP ERP Solution This webinar will be held on Dec 14, 2022 at Alazahra University

The lack of clear codified framework and the lack of coherent planning in the location of retail stores has caused most of the stores not to be located based on known standards and this is mostly experimental. On the other hand, usually the methods used in the location of stores are done with traditional methods and do not follow scientific logic....

One of the critical issues that have recently been considered in the supply chain is the Omni-Channel. The main idea of that is to consider customer interactions with different channels during the purchasing process. Compared to other product-oriented strategies, omni-channel is a customer-oriented approach. Especially in modern distribution channe...

Pricing is one of the most important decisions made in the supply chain that has a significant impact on the profit of the entire Supply chain. In order to increase the market share and attract more customers, most of the organizations use other channels to present their products and services besides the traditional supply. For a supply chain with...

Most organizations use different channels to offer products and services in order to increase their market share and attract more customers. In a supply chain with more than one sales channel, product pricing is a critical issue in the decision-making process. Proper pricing can be very effective in reducing the conflict between channels and increa...

Due to the emergence and creation of new structures and new technology in the retail and the store, fierce competition between them is increasing. In addition, the wide range of changes in the needs and wants of customers has forced stores and planners to pay more attention to long-term plans and think about strategic planning. A chain store is a n...

Just-in-Time production system is a comprehensive system for inventories management. In this system, no inventory of raw materials is purchased and no products are made, except when necessary. The system focuses on reducing costs by eliminating and reducing inventory levels. Just-in-Time approach is also called a tactical management approach in ter...

Based on demand characteristics which are mentioned in the literature, a helpful classification has been proposed in the below article. Source: Nasiri, G.R., Namazi T., A., and Davoudpour, H. (2021). Evaluation of an integrated facility location-inventory model using Lagrangian relaxation approach with a FMCG case study. Iranian Journal of Supply C...

Considering changes in business, Lean production is not a choice but a necessity. It is aimed primarily at eliminating waste throughout the organization. The first step to achieve Lean production is ensuring that the market and services are guaranteed. This can not happen without knowing customers' needs and expectations. All departments of an orga...

Supply chain management and distribution network design have attracted the attention of many researchers during recent years. This paper addresses a multi-product system of location problem in distribution network that incorporates inventory decisions for each product into capacitated facility location models. In the development of mathematical mod...

Road transport is a critical component of Iranian transportation system. Over 90 percent of domestic transport is carried by roads and also this mode plays a fundamental role in exporting to the major regional markets. However, the existing problems in this sector have hindered the efficiency of exports in terms of cost, time, and reliability. In t...

This is a helpful classification for future research positioning in FLP.

If decision making is done independently in a supply chain, the optimum decisions for all network members could not be guaranteed. In integrated buyer-vendor models, decision making is done centrally and different parts of the supply chain are considered in an integrated and coordinated manner. In this paper, an integrated inventory model with mult...

This paper presents a multi-echelon distribution network design problem with pricing strategy in a stochastic environment, where location, inventory, and pricing decisions in retail and wholesale channels are made simultaneously. The considered network is comprised of a central warehouse, a set of distribution centers, and a set of retailers and wh...

Importance of managing supply chain resilience to advance the Covid-19 vaccination program: A new paradigm requirement

In recent decades, achieving strategic supply chain goals including reducing costs, improving revenue and profitability has attracted the attention of many researchers. However, these efforts have yielded successful practices, but the prevalence of Covid-19 and its disorders caused to consider other indicators. Therefore, factors including increasi...

Facility location is one of the most important strategic decisions in designing a supply chain network. However, given the interaction of strategic decisions on tactical and operational decisions, it seems necessary to provide models that integrate these decisions. In this study, a mixed-integer non-linear programming model is developed to determin...

Based on my survey, this hierarchical framework will be helpful to selected strategy positioning at holding/ corporate level. However, some strategies can be included in several levels.

In this study, reviewed based on important and influential indicators, the evolution, reasons, and business environment of third-party logistics companies are reviewed. Moreover, main tasks and operations of these companies are extracted based on the study of leader companies. Therefore, the current situation of Iran (with a focus on road transport...
