A scenario where the market demand is changed suddenly by some undesired events is considered. The results reveal that enhancing collaboration with a more resilient supplier can significantly improve supply chain resilience and reduce supply chain losses. It is also found that enhancing the supplier relationship can significantly benefit supply chain resilience if the collaborative intensity is relatively low, and it has less effect if supply chain members have already collaborated closely. Thus, enhancing the supplier relationship to a limited intensity is a relatively effective and economic method to strengthen supply chain resilience.展开更多

While these innovations deliver operational improvements, the heightened interconnectivity introduces significant cybersecurity challenges, particularly within military logistics, where mission-critical operations and life-safety concerns are paramount. This paper examines these unique cybersecurity requirements, focusing on advanced persistent threats, supply chain poisoning, and data breaches that could compromise sensitive operations. The study proposes a hybrid cybersecurity framework tailored to military logistics, integrating resilience, redundancy, and cross-jurisdictional security measures. Real-world applicability is validated through simulations, offering strategies for securing supply chains while balancing security, efficiency, and flexibility.展开更多

The value of demand information sharing is analyzed in a two-level supply chain involving one supplier-multiple retailer model in which retailer demands may be correlated. Each member in the supply chain forecasts its demand using an AR (1) demand process. Two conditions of the information sharing are considered (1) Without the information sharing, the retailers only communicate their orders to the supplier. (2) With the information sharing, retailers communicate their orders and forecasting models to the supplier. Analyses showthat the reductions of supplier's average inventory and average costs are substantial with the information sharing. However, the retailers donot get direct benefit from the information sharing. The retailers may ask the supplier to reduce the replenishment leadtime, so that the retailers will obtain substantial cost savings and inventory reduction. Both partners may obtain benefits when information sharing and leadtime reduction are implemented together.展开更多

文摘Many attempts have been made to identify barriers to blockchain adoption in supply chain;however,barriers to blockchain adoption in supply chain finance(SCF)are underexplored.This study prioritizes barriers to blockchain adoption in SCF and evaluates the barrier level of each alternative participant.We propose an integrated decision model to prioritize the barriers and evaluate their levels of alternative participants.To determine the barriers,we conducted a literature review.We then introduce an integrated weight calculation method by combining interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy(IVFF)-optimistic-pessimistic-utility values-based and IVFF-RS(ranking sum)methods to determine the barrier weights.To evaluate the barrier level of each alternative participant in SCF,the integrated IVFF-RAFSI(Ranking of Alternatives through Functional Mapping of Criterion Subintervals into a Single Interval)model is presented to rank the barrier,which uses a power-weighted aggregation operator to fuse experts’opinions.A case study demonstrates the practicality of the integrated IVFF-RAFSI model.The results show that uncertain and competitive markets(weighted at 0.0676)are the most significant barriers.This finding also suggests that small and medium-sized processing enterprises have the highest barriers to blockchain adoption.Sensitivity and comparative analyses validate the steadiness and competency of the proposed model.These results indicate that the proposed methodology provides a systematic technique for analyzing barriers to blockchain applications in SCF.
文摘The purpose of this paper is to present the preliminary literature findings of a research project.The main project is set out to identify,analyse and report on performance requirements,mechanisms and actions required to address the performance of construction related small and medium size enterprises(SMEs)that are providing services for state owned enterprises(SOEs)in South Africa.The need for the project arose from the view that the absence of performance evaluation mechanism leads to the poor management of the performance of organisations involved in most SOE supply chain.This inevitably led to none creation of expected value in the system.Through a related literature study,the findings that have emerged so far suggest that it is notable that the SMEs related programmes in SOEs have not address performance and relationship management within their supply chain strategy in explicit terms as there is less or no means to record,measure and enhance SME contributions.These SMEs also recognise the fact that when their performances are poor and/or good,there is no difference and/or feedback mechanism to record it.

文摘In view of the imperfect supply chain management of prefabricated building,inadequate information interaction among the participating subjects,and untimely information updates,the integration and development of BIM technology plus the supply chain of prefabricated building is analyzed,and the problems existing in the current supply chain and the application of BIM technology at various stages are elaborated.By analyzing the structural composition of the prefabricated building supply chain,an information sharing platform framework for prefabricated building supply chain based on BIM was established,which serves as a valuable reference for managing prefabricated building supply chains.BIM technology aligns well with assembly construction,laying a solid foundation for their synergistic development and offering novel research avenues for the prefabricated building supply chain.
