Supply Chain Management (SCM) is focused on developing, optimizing, and operating efficient supply chains. Efficient supply chains are characterized by cost effective decisions, lean flow and structure, high degree of ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for supplier selection considering the sustainability factors. It utilizes an integrated Triple Bottom Line (3BL) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach. ANP is a ...

This paper addresses the multi-objective stochastic optimization problem that arises in many real-world applications, especially in supply chain management and optimization.To this end, a simulated annealing algorithm is ...

In this research, we have developed a linear programming formulation to describe Qatar steel manufacturing supply chain from suppliers to consumers. The purpose of the model is to provide answers regarding the optimal ...

This paper presents an application of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology to improve the performance of a water bottling process. The LSS method is widely applied across the manufacturing sector with the aim of increasing the ...

Oil leaks onto water surfaces from big tankers, ships, and pipeline cracks cause considerable damage and harm to the marine environment. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images provide an approximate representation for target ...

Objective: Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices (CFLVAD) are circulatory support devices that are implanted in patients with end-stage heart failure. We developed a novel control algorithm for CFLVAD to maintain ...

A new adaptive probabilistic model of blood vessels on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images is proposed. The model accounts for both laminar (for normal subjects) and turbulent blood flows (in abnormal cases like ...

— The retail chain store business is an infant stage of growth and development in Bangladesh and so are the supply chain management practices in this sector. The main objective of this study is to identify the key drivers ...
