Abstract:
AbstractSupply and distribution management of blood products is a challenging task due to their short lifespan. The problem is even more sophisticated considering uncertain demand for these products. This paper addresses integrated inventory-routing of blood in a supply chain network consisting of a single supplier and a group of blood centers. Transshipment among blood centers is allowed to decrease the cost of excess inventory and shortage of goods. A mathematical model is developed that decides on the optimal quantity of supplied blood, delivery plan, inventory level, and quantity of products transshipped between blood centers with the objective of minimizing total costs. In addition, a robust optimization approach is adopted to deal with uncertainty in demand. Since the proposed model is NP-hard, a heuristic solution algorithm is developed that improves solution quality by determining the most efficient change in vehicle routes in each search stage. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is examined in a set of numerical experiments and using data from a real case of supply and distribution management of blood platelets. The results indicated that allowing transshipment reduces the need for supply capacity at the supplier, product shortage, inventory level, and the total cost.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inter-relationship among dominant supply chain capabilities of collaboration, flexibility, velocity and visibility and how the same influence supply chain resilience (SCRES) and supply chain performance. Further, the aim is to explore the relationship between integrated logistics capabilities and supply chain capabilities. Design/methodology/approach The proposed hypotheses were tested with survey data collected from 339 supply chain professionals. The collected data were then analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis, and the proposed relationships were tested with structural equation modeling. Findings Integrated logistics capabilities were found to positively influence supply chain collaboration and supply chain visibility. There is a positive influence of each of collaboration, flexibility, visibility and velocity on SCRES. Further, each of these supply chain capabilities positively influences each other to a greater extent. Further, SCRES was found to have a positive influence on supply chain performance. Research limitations/implications Like many other cross sectional studies, this study also suffers from data collected from single respondent per firm. Originality/value The study is significant and holds immense importance for managers and supply chain practitioners because it has suggested them to focus on core supply chain capabilities, for example, collaboration, flexibility, visibility and visibility for developing SCRES. Along with this, it undersigned the growing importance and empirical influence of integrated logistics capabilities in developing these supply chain capabilities and also the positive influence of resilience on supply chain performance.

Abstract:
The blood supply chain, starting from the donor until the blood is used to meet transfusion demands of patients, is a multi-echelon and complex system. The perishable and lifesaving characteristics of blood products, such as red blood cells and platelets, as well as uncertainties in both supply and demand make it difficult to maintain a balance between shortage and wastage due to expiry. An effective blood supply chain should be able to meet the demand while at the same time reducing wastage and total operational cost. In order to be cost effective, the related organizations have to decide how much blood should be collected from donors, how much blood products should be produced at the blood center, and how much blood products should be distributed to hospitals or transshipped between hospitals. The objective of this dissertation is to provide these tactical and operational decisions to guide those who work in healthcare supply chain management and explore new opportunities on performance improvement for an integrated blood supply chain by optimization with aim of minimizing total cost, consideration of transshipment between hospitals, and application of a coordinated multi-product model. This dissertation presents three multi-stage stochastic models for an integrated blood supply chain to minimize total cost incurred in the collection, production, inventory, and distribution echelons under centralized control. The scope of this study focuses on modeling a supply chain of blood products in one regional blood center, several hospitals and blood collection facilities. First, we develop an integrated model for the platelet supply chain that accounts for demand uncertainty and blood age information, then we develop this model further by investigating the impact of transshipment between hospitals on cost savings, and then we propose a multi-product model that accounts for red blood cells and platelets at the same time and compare it with an uncoordinated model where the red blood cell and platelet supply chains are considered separately.

Abstract:
The cladding industry is relatively independent and complex, having contemporary features in a rapidly changing sector of the construction industry. The increasing complexity of the cladding procurement and fragmentation of the supply chain bring challenges for making informed decisions. The purpose of this research was to study the cladding design and procurement process, in particular the decision making process. It was hoped to develop an integrated decision making mechanism within the context of the cladding supply chain. Based on preliminary exploration, a conceptual model of integrated communication and decision-making (ICDM) was proposed. Within this model, an Information and Communication (I&C) Hub acts as the pivotal platform of the information supply and communication in the supply chain and is managed by an industry level third party. It provides an effective and secure approach to information exchange and collaborative decision making. A questionnaire survey was the key method of this research, while industry meetings and informal interviews were employed to provide in-depth understanding of the communication related issues in the industry. It was found that the participants of the cladding supply chain were experiencing difficulties of identifying information sources and accessing information, and that an industry level third party acting as an independent information source could be accepted by the cladding industry. Therefore, the I&C Hub gained its necessity and partial feasibility. It was also found that training opportunity for practitioners was limited and the usage of ICT had a large potential for improvement. A number of modifications on the I&C Hub and information flows within the ICDM were proposed to enhance its practicality, and the enhanced model was presented and evaluated by an industry meeting. The conceptual model can only be completely validated by real cases; therefore, this study concluded with a recommendation for testing the framework in future pilot projects.

(cont.) in the success of Lucent's turnaround and, from the patterns that emerge, a basis for a new holistic framework for designing and leveraging an integrated supply chain is offered. This framework suggests that attaining competitive advantage from supply chain capabilities lies in a firm's ability to incorporate corporate culture, leadership style, organization structure and both inter and intra tier governance methods into it's supply chain design in order to enable an integrated and extended organization where the channel expert can be identified and engaged in decision making in a natural, real-time and organic process.
Over the past three years, in response to dramatic changes in the telecommunications industry, Lucent Technologies has realigned its corporate strategy from being a provider of manufacturing excellence to one of supply chain excellence. Supported by this realignment, Lucent has recently returned to profitability after eleven consecutive losing quarters, and has posted dramatic improvements in financial, operational and customer satisfaction metrics. Lucent's new strategy is focused on leveraging its supply chain capabilities to create a new extended enterprise that is both customer and supplier intimate, and operates as a broad reaching cross-functional Supply Chain Networks (SCN) organization. Pivotal to the success of this realignment was extending the scope of Lucent's supply chain activities, both internally and externally to the company. Internally, Lucent integrated such non-traditional SCM activities as sales, product design, and margin management into its newly created SCN organization. Externally, by outsourcing virtually all of its manufacturing, and much of the associated supplier management, to Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) partners, Lucent became responsible for the orchestration of an extended multi-tier supply chain that integrated abilities and expertise of functional teams within Lucent and within its EMS partners, raw component suppliers and customers. In this thesis, the Supply Chain Networks transformation at Lucent is examined in the broader context of the changes that took place in Lucent's: organizational model; leadership team; corporate culture; customer and supplier relationships; operations; and market space. The change that was effected in each of these areas is reviewed for its role

Abstract:
In 2009, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants [Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, (2009). Global SCM excellence study., p.5.] reported that 40% of 234 companies had the wrong priorities in regard to efficiency vs. responsiveness. In 2014, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) [PwC and APICS, Sustainable supply chains: Making value the priority 2014] found that 76% of 500 supply chain executives identified sustainability as an important aspect of their supply chain. The results highlight the importance of achieving consistency between customer expectations, in terms of cost and service level, and supply chain performance in today’s competitive business environment. Despite this, however, no integrated supply chain design framework exists to control majority of the important functions related to supply chain strategy, structure, process and performance. The literature review showed that simulation is rarely considered at the strategic level, but the research experiments highlighted a number of ways in which simulation tools might be useful at this level, such as exploring the impact of strategic fit and decoupling points, and assessing different supply chain network configurations and policies. This research contributes to knowledge by designing and developing a framework that integrates strategy, process and resources, and allows the use of simulation tools to consider the three dimensions of efficiency, responsiveness and sustainability concurrently during the design process. The proposed framework is validated using a hypothetical supply chain network. Simulation allows performance to be assessed under a range of scenarios. The simulation experiments showed that under the suggested policies, efficiency improved from 25.38% to 30.58% and responsiveness rose from 18.37% to 32.78%. However, they also indicated that while policies oriented towards improving responsiveness had a positive impact on sustainability, those oriented towards improving efficiency had a negative impact. The significance of the research lies in its development of a supply chain design framework that could assist companies in achieving the optimum configuration of supply chain resources, thereby helping them reduce inventory, lower costs, enhance responsiveness and improve strategic focus in terms of design, execution and capital investments.

Abstract:
Manufacturing outsourcing in the U.S. has never been stronger than it is today. Increased outsourcing has led to significant changes in the design of the retail distribution network. While the traditional distribution network had the manufacturing plants supplying goods to the retail stores directly, the off-shore manufacturing has increased the network's demand for transportation and warehousing to deliver the goods. Thus, most companies have a complex distribution network with several import and regional distribution centers (RDC). In this thesis, we study an integrated facility location and inventory allocation problem for designing a distribution network with multiple national (import) distribution centers (NDC) and retailers. The key decisions are where to locate the RDCs and how much inventory to hold at the different locations such that the total network cost is minimized under a pre-defined operational rule for the distribution of goods. In particular, the inventory cost analysis is based on the continuous review batch ordering policy and the base-stock policy. Both Type-I (probability of stock-outs) and Type-II (fill-rate) service level measures are used in the analysis. Two different models are presented in this thesis for solving the integrated facility location-inventory allocation problem. The first model, continuous approximation (CA), assumes the distribution network to be located in a continuous region and replaces the discrete store locations with a store density function. The second model is a discrete representation of the problem as a mixed integer programming problem. Both the models take a nonlinear form and solution techniques are developed using the theory of nonlinear programming and linear reformulation of nonlinear problems. The goal of the first part of the thesis is to model the problem using a modified CA approach and an iterative solution scheme is presented to solve it. The main contribution of this work lies in developing a refined CA modeling technique when the discrete data cannot be modeled by a continuous function. In addition, the numerical analysis suggests that the total network cost is significantly lower in the case of the integrated model as compared with the non-integrated model. It is also shown that the regular CA approach leads to a solution which is inferior to the solution obtained by the modified CA approach. Our analysis shows that the type of service measure used affects the network design. In the second part of the thesis, the problem is modeled as a nonlinear mixed integer program and a linear reformulation solution technique is proposed to obtain a lower bound on the original problem. Computational results are presented for small problem instances. We conclude this part of the thesis by presenting an integrated model when a base stock inventory policy is used. A drop-decomposition heuristic is proposed to solve this problem.

Abstract:
Integrated robust planning systems that cover all levels of SC hierarchy have become increasingly important. Strategic, tactical, and operational SC plans should not be generated in isolation to avoid infeasible and conflicting decisions. On the other hand, enterprise planning systems contain over millions of records that are processed in each planning iteration. In such enterprises, the ability to generate robust plans is vital to their success because such plans can save the enterprise resources that may otherwise have to be reserved for likely SC plan changes. A robust SC plan is valid in all circumstances and does not need many corrections in the case of interruption, error, or disturbance. Such a reliable plan is proactive as well as reactive. Proactivity can be achieved by forecasting the future events and taking them into account in planning. Reactivity is a matter of agility, the capability of keeping track of system behaviour and capturing alarming signals from its environment, and the ability to respond quickly to the occurrence of an unforeseen event. Modeling such a system behaviour and providing solutions after such an event is extremely important for a SC. This study focuses on integrated supply chain planning with stochastic dynamic considerations. An integrated tactical-operational model is developed and then segregated into two sub-models which are solved iteratively. A SC is a stochastic dynamic system whose state changes over time often in an unpredictable manner. As a result, the customer demand is treated as an uncertain parameter and is handled by exploiting scenario-based stochastic programming. The increase in the number of scenarios makes it difficult to obtain quick and good solutions. As such, a Branch and Fix algorithm is developed to segregate the stochastic model into isolated islands so as to make the computationally intractable problem solvable. However not all the practitioners, planners, and managers are risk neutral. Some of them may be concerned about the risky extreme scenarios. In view of this, the robust optimization approach is also adopted in this thesis. Both the solution robustness and model robustness are taken into account in the tactical model. Futhermore, the dynamic behaviour of a SC system is handled with the concept of Model Predictive Control (MPC).

Abstract:
Las tendencias del mercado han hecho que las empresas cambien su forma de hacer negocios. La Globalización ha permitido a las empresas tener la posibilidad de acceder a distintos proveedores y mercados globalmente dispersos. Actualmente para mantener un nivel competitivo, el mercadoreclama productos amigables con el medio ambiente, rápido desarrollo de nuevos productos, alta calidad y fiabilidad, entre otros. Para cumplir con tales requisitos, las empresas dependen cada vez más de su Cadena de Suministros (CS). De hecho, la competencia en el mercado ya no es únicamente entre empresas, sino entre CS. La comunidad científica es consciente de este cambio y ha dedicado esfuerzos a la concepción de estrategias para el modelado y optimización de CS. Asimismo, la industria química Europea reconoce necesaria la mejora de la Gestión de la Cadena de Suministros (GCS) para mantenerse competitiva en un mercado global. La GCS trata de maximizar los retornos financieros sincronizando los flujos de materiales, información y efectivo existentes entre las distintas entidades interconectadas con el objetivo de proveer un producto al mercado. Recientemente, también se reconoce la necesidad de una Gestión Integrada de la CS (GICS), la cual consiste en la sincronización de otras funciones del negocio y de diferentes niveles de decisión. El actual entorno dinámico de los negocios y de las propias operaciones hacen difícil la coordinación de las actividades de la CS. Por tanto, es importante que los objetivos y planes sean desarrollados considerando explícitamente la incertidumbre del mercado y de las propias tareas de fabricación y que sean revisados periódicamente. El propósito de esta tesis es contribuir al desarrollo de estrategias para la GICS. La tesis contempla CS centralizadas, es decir, se considera que existe una entidad central que es capaz de controlar las actividades de toda la CS. Después de una revisión de conceptos y de las estrategias existentes para abordar la GICS, la tesis se enfoca en el desarrollo de modelos queincluyen decisiones de diferentes funcionalidades del negocio. Esta parte explora cómo mejorar el comportamiento de la CS si conjuntamente con la gestión estratégica de la CS se integran decisiones asociadas con finanzas, marketing y desarrollo de nuevos productos. A continuación la tesis se dedica a temas puramente relacionados con la gestión estratégica y táctica de las operaciones de la CS. Se investiga cómo obtener una representación más apropiada de los procesos productivos a nivel de CS. En esta parte se considera también el diseño de CS considerando su impacto ambiental asociado. La cuarta parte está dedicada a la consideración de la incertidumbre. Para ello se propone un control predictivo que incorpora como algoritmo de control un modelo estocástico. Se muestra como las incidencias pueden resolverse de mejor manera cuando se tiene en cuenta una visión completa de la CS en la búsqueda de posibles soluciones. Además, se desarrolla una extensión del método para programación de operaciones (PO) S-graph para abordar problemas con incertidumbre. Esta propuesta posee la particularidad que el tamaño del espacio de búsqueda no crece con el número de escenarios considerados. Dicha característica permite reducir los tiempos de solución, lo cual es uno de los desafíos en esta área. La última contribución está relacionada con la integración de los niveles de decisión. Se muestra como la capacidad es el factor clave para llevar a cabo esta integración. Se examinan las implicaciones de considerar la PO cuando se diseña una CS. En esta parte se hace hincapié en la errónea sobreestimación de la capacidad que se obtiene cuando la PO no es incluida en el diseño de CS. Aún más, se demuestra como la capacidad permite la integración del módulo de control de bajo nivel con la CS por medio de la formulación de la PO. Dicha integración permite actualizar la capacidad real y resolver adecuadamente interrupciones y fallos en los equipos.
Market trends have made enterprises change the way of doing business. Globalization makes accessible a wide range of globally dispersed potential suppliers and customers. For competitive customer service now the market demands environmentally friendly products, rapid development of newproducts, high quality and reliability, among others. In order to fulfill such requirements firms depend more and more on their supply chains (SC). Indeed, nowadays competition is not longer among individual firms, but among SCs. The process system engineering community has been conscious of this shift and has thus devoted research efforts on devising SC and enterprise-wide modeling and optimization strategies. Likewise, from another stand point, the European chemical industry has realized the necessity of SC improvement in order to remain competitive in the global market. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is intended to maximize financial returns by synchronizing material, cash and information flows across interconnected entities that seek to provide products to consumers. Lately, it has been recognized the necessity for integrated SCM solutions which incorporate and synchronize decisions from several business functions and different hierarchical levels. Current changing and uncertain marketenvironment and internal business concerns make it even more difficult to synchronize all the SC activities. Hence, it would be desirable that SC objectives and plans were developed considering market and internal operations uncertainty explicitly, revised periodically and eventually modified following the uncertainty disclosure. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the centralized integrated SCM. The centralized approach to SCM considers that there exists a central entity that it is able to control the activities of the whole business. After an overview of SCM and analysis of existing approaches, the second part of this thesis is focused on the development of models which consider the variety of business functionalities. This part explores how business performance can be improved by integrating strategic SCM with financial, marketing and product development planning. The following section is devoted to topics related to pure strategic and tactical SC operations. It is investigated how a more appropriate representation of production processes can be achieved at the SC level. This part is also concerned with the environmentally conscious design of SCs. The fourth part is focused on uncertainty considerations. A model predictive control whose control algorithm is a stochastic formulation is proposed to face uncertainty and dynamics in SCM. Here, it is shown how incidences can be better resolved by approaching them from a SC perspective. This part also presents a novel graph based approach to deal with scheduling under exogenous uncertainty. The S-graph framework is enhanced to address a two stage stochastic scheduling considering demand as uncertain. One of the advantages of this approach is that the search space does not increasewith the number of considered scenarios. Such a feature reduces the computational cost required to solve this kind of problems which is one of the major challenges in this field, thus constituting a robust alternative to existing schedulers to become eventually the best option in integrated SCM. The last contribution concerns the integration of hierarchical decision levels. The fifth part examines the implications of considering scheduling decisions when designing a SC network. It is shown how capacity is the core factor that allows the integration of hierarchical levels. This part emphasizes that an optimistic performance, due to capacity overestimation, is obtained if scheduling is not consider into the SC design formulation. Moreover, it is demonstrated how capacity permits low level supervisory control integration. Such integration allows updating SC capacity and adequately resolving equipment disruptions or breakdowns.

Abstract:
Lack of visibility of the assets in a product supply chain compromises attempts to optimise supply chain management. Increasing the visibility of these assets presents a relatively unexplored frontier in operations and supply where organisations can create competitive advantage through the opportunities asset visibility offer. This research aims at investigating the key capabilities of asset visibility specifically those associated with returnable transport assets that travel across supply chains carrying material and products e.g. cages, boxes, trays, trolleys and pallet bins. In addition, how these capabilities may influence supply chain visibility and firm performance in a way that might lead to sustainable competitive advantage is examined. To achieve these objectives, the research develops a two-stage model that is theoretically grounded in the extended resource-based view. Philosophically, the research adopts a critical realist approach using abductive logic. Methodologically, a sequential exploratory strategy for data collection is implemented. A qualitative, indepth site-based case study supported by field expert interviews was conducted as a pilot study. The pilot study findings refined the initial conceptual model derived from literature and informed the next stage of the research. The quantitative phase focused on refining the factors constituting asset visibility capabilities and then testing the relationship between these capabilities and supply chain visibility, performance and sustainable competitive advantage. Key findings are that asset visibility capabilities are shaped through three key capabilities: (1) an asset management capability formed by both core technological aspects related to tracking and tracing technology, and non-technological ones focusing on logistic-related capability; (2) a complementary technological capability comprising of IT infrastructure for supply chain integration; and (3) a complementary nontechnological capability represented through three sub-capabilities: (a) supply chain process integration; (b) focal firm-3PL relational orientation; and (c) internal firm integration. The research findings prove a positive relationship between asset visibility capabilities and supply chain visibility. In addition, a positive relationship between these capabilities and sustainable competitive advantage through the mediated effect of supply chain visibility and firm performance, is confirmed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present the innovative reliability modeling of Petrobras 2010 integrated gas supply chain. The model represents a challenge in terms of complexity and software robustness. It was jointly developed by PETROBRAS Gas & Power Department and Det Norske Veritas. It was carried out with the objective of evaluating security of supply of 2010 gas network design that was conceived to connect Brazilian Northeast and Southeast regions. To provide best in class analysis, state of the art software was used to quantify the availability and the efficiency of the overall network and its individual components (such as gas processing units, city-gates, compressor stations, pipelines). The study requests, as input, a lot of information, that should be provided from different sectors of Petrobras, since it is supposed to depict reliability performance of all gas supply chain players. Information such as 2010 design configurations, gas offer and demand profiles, shedding priority, pressure delivery conditions, supply contract and associated penalties, commodity prices, etc., should be raised and addressed. More than twelve processing plants were modeled, in a detailed manner, and have their performance indicators compared. Different gas sources were considered in the study, such as offshore platforms, onshore fields, Bolivia pipeline and LNG ships. Detailed failure probability and repair data were addressed. Contingency plans, for each identified scenario, were made, in order to evaluate probable losses that constitute an input for the reliability modeling. Therefore, two additional software’s were used for their validation: - Pipeline studio – TGNET (from Energy Solutions), to check pressure conditions; and an in-house Petrobras software (PLANAGE), used for best gas allocation purposes. Experienced operational team opinion was incorporated on that contingency plans elaboration. This work constitutes a powerful tool for Petrobras planning and optimization of gas supply chain future configurations. The simulation provides propositions for investments prioritization, based on cost benefit analysis, and as a by-product, contingency plans, that were developed, considering different failure scenarios.
