Customized planning, engineering and construction of one-of-a-kind products (like wind energy, biogas or power plants) are complex and contain a lot of risks and temporal uncertainties, e.g. of logistics and project schedules. Therefore the management of this kind of projects has to be supported by adequate methods for the estimation of project risks and uncertainties. Based on the results of the...
This paper presents an approach for modelling the transformation of knowledge in the procurement process and the findings obtained from simulating that process. The knowledge transformation is from tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge for the purchasing process of a chemical company. The simulation model considers the information flow from the identification of the need for a purchase to the placing...
Regional food hubs aggregate, distribute, and market local food, with a goal of promoting environmental and social sustainability. They provide an alternative distribution channel through which small-scale producers can access wholesale markets. However, food hubs face many barriers to growth and success. In particular, they are often unable to achieve the logistical and operational efficiencies that...
Reverse logistics networks are designed and implemented by companies to collect products at the end of their useful life from end users in order to remanufacture products or properly recycle materials. In this paper, we present a simulation framework for comparing alternative reverse logistic network configurations based on productivity and sustainability performance metrics. The resulting decision...
Both in academia and industry, supply chain simulation is a relatively mature subject. Academic researchers have produced supply chain modelling/simulation frameworks and have used simulation to teach supply chain dynamics. A review of industrial applications however points to the heavy use of consultants and/or simulation software vendors. The shortage of in-house supply chain simulation skills/practitioners...
Social network platforms are a useful source of information on preferences of citizens. However, population exposed on social network platform is non representative and in result preferences collected through such platforms are biased. The goal of the public administration is to utilize the data that can be collected through such online platforms in order to understand preferences and its structure...
Technological innovation and requirements of modern production are leading to a significant transformation of logistics. Cyber-physical systems are introduced as an integrating concept for improving information flow from execution to decision systems and vice versa. Accompanied by decision and information systems with an increasing degree of autonomy, new challenges arise in modelling and implementing...
