This paper addresses the disruption problem caused by the request changes of customers in a predetermined vehicle distribution plan. In this paper, vehicle routing problem with simultaneously pickup and delivery (VRPSPD) is considered. Based on the idea of disruption management, the impacts of disruption issues on both cost and service time were analyzed. A disruption management model was established...
We consider a pharmaceutical company that sources a biological product from a set of unreliable contract manufacturers. The likelihood of a manufacturer to successfully deliver the product is estimated via logistic regression as a function of the product attributes. The assignment of a product to the right contract manufacturers is of critical importance for the pharmaceutical company, and simulation-based...
Lean logistics performance evaluations for integrated service-oriented logistics enterprises have several characteristics which involve business links and interactions between the evaluation dimensions. In this paper, a lean logistics performance evaluation index system is constructed based on the balanced scorecard (BSC). To identify the characteristics of the index system, unascertained sets are...
In order to adapt to the development of food enterprises, that more and more logistics operations will be outsourced by food companies increasingly. So to manage the risks become one of the most important issues. In order to control the risk of logistics outsourcing better, so that this paper analyzes food enterprises' risk of logistics outsourcing, then use the method-fuzzy evaluation to construct...
Risk assessment in business interactions is carried out to determine beforehand the occurrence of undesirable events and their associated consequences. In the literature, approaches have been proposed by which an interaction initiating agent can ascertain the occurrence of undesirable event/s and determine their consequences in an interaction. But those approaches just consider those events that are...
The central issue of this paper is uncertainty in decision making of reverse logistics operations. Based on a literature review, we develop a conceptual model classify uncertainty in decision. Then, we use a structured, two-stage approach to develop a multi-item scale and explore the relationship among uncertainties. In the first stage, by drawing upon the literature as well as extensive interviews...
