We present a stochastic model to infer a product quality index by using product traceability information. We propose a model by using Bayesian Network and apply it to the US pharmaceutical supply chain where regulations to mandate exchanging of traceability information for individual prescription drugs are being studied. In supply chains where traceability information of only a few products is available,...
The competition advantage stems from value creation for customers. Focusing on logistics enterprises, customer value composition are identified and a three-hierarchy framework is presented from a view of creating and delivering superior customer value. A model of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation on service capability of logistics enterprises is built. The local level of evaluation: knowledge recognition,...
Supplier management is an important problem with strategic meaning in the automotive supply chain of China. However, the complexity of the auto product makes difficulty of the supplier management in the auto industry. From the view of cooperation and collaboration, the essence of the supplier management is analyzed and the concept of supplier service optimization is proposed in this paper. Also, the...
Nowadays, competition is no longer between companies but between supply chains. Therefore, it is essential for a company to improve the performance of its supply chain. In order to find out improvement opportunities, companies need a universal and comparable measurement system which they can apply to either an entire supply chain or its individual members on a common scale. This paper explores how...
The logarithm triangular fuzzy number-AHP method is creatively used to study the strategic supplier performance evaluation index system. It is found that this method is a scientific qualitative and quantitative evaluating strategy overcoming the deadly disadvantages, for example experts can give definite value objectively when the traditional AHP method is used to value certainty and the qualitative...
Companies attempt to companies are attempting to find ways to improve their flexibility and responsiveness and in turn competitiveness by changing their operations strategy, methods and technologies that include the implementation of supply chain management (SCM) paradigm. Hence, information technology (IT) can enhance the agility of SCM. The aspects, however, which IT impact on SCM are not equal...
Since the censored and imprecise information are ubiquitous in the real world, under this fuzzy environment, the supplier selection based on the lifetime for the exponential model is proposed in this paper. The fuzzy estimates ^tp L% of lifetime capability indices tp L of suppliers are obtained according to the approach taken by Buckley [3][4] and the Zadeh's [14] extension principle in fuzzy sets...
For years, researchers and practitioners have primarily investigated the various processes and models on supply chain management. Recently, however, there has been increasing attention placed on partnership selection, which represents a new way of managing the business and relationships with other partners on supply chain. Because of the uncertainty of market, it is not always easy for the decision-maker(s)...
