Supply chain design in e-mobility supply chain networks

2015
The German Federal Government claimed the goal to have one million electric cars on German roads by 2020 to foster the public acceptance of electric cars and electromobility (cf. [25]). Moreover, the amount and the variety of electric cars are steadily increasing as well as the public awareness for sustainability is rising.

A FUZZY PROGRAMMING APPROACH FOR SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK DESIGN

International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 2007
This paper presents a fuzzy programming method to design supply chain network, in which the customer demands and transportation costs are assumed to be fuzzy parameters. Existing researches on supply chain network design problem are either restricted on deterministic environment or only address stochastic parameters.

Unresolved Issues in Supply Chain Network Design

Information Systems Frontiers, 2001
Designing a supply chain network provides the basic structure for supply chain operations, where the network is a major element in a firm's competitiveness and a significant area of capital investment. With the boundary-spanning scope encouraged by supply chain management, the question is whether existing analyses used for network design are adequate ...

Queueing networks and the topological design of supply chain systems

International Journal of Production Economics, 2004
Abstract Manufacturing firms are linking their internal processes to external suppliers and customers. The resulting supply chain is often a very large network of activities and resources. Modeling and optimization of such complex systems is a new area of research for which exact analytical results are obviously very difficult if not impossible.

Network design in supply chain management

International Journal of Agile Management Systems, 1999
The distribution function in a supply chain is an important internal service function for any firm, and has been increasingly recognized as playing a strategic role in achieving competitive advantage. This paper proposes improving the distribution function of the supply chain by employing hub‐and‐spoke network designs.

Integrated Supply Chain Network Design for Packaged Gases

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems, 2014
Network design of the supply chain is an important and strategic aspect of logistics management. In this paper, we address the network design problem specific to packaged gases (e.g., cylinder) supply chain. We propose an integrated framework that allows for the determination of the optimal facility locations, the filling plant production capacities ...

Designing the distribution network in a supply chain

Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2003
Abstract This paper describes a framework for designing the distribution network in a supply chain. Various factors influencing the choice of distribution network are described. We then discuss different choices of distribution networks and their relative strengths and weaknesses. The paper concludes by identifying distribution networks that are best

Supply Chain Network Design Considering RFID Adoption

IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, 2017
This paper reports on the integrated supply chain network design with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. The proposed model seeks to maximize the total profits of a manufacturer, servicing multiple retailers through regional distribution centers (RDCs) by identifying the optimal area of influence and order quantity for each RDC using a ...
