TLDR
A mathematical model is presented that selects the optimal set of supply chains that match diverse characteristics of products and customers, including the required lead time, the supply chain lead times, the customer time sensitivity, and the complexity factor resulting from having multiple supply chains.
Abstract
It has become widely accepted that delivering diverse products to customers who have different needs by a “one-size-fits-all” supply chain results in lower profits and customer service. Therefore, there is a need to design supply chain systems that can effectively and profitably serve products and customers with diverse characteristics. This paper presents a mathematical model that selects the optimal set of supply chains that match diverse characteristics of products and customers. The model considers various product, customer, and supply chain characteristics, including the required lead time, the supply chain lead times, the customer time sensitivity, and the complexity factor resulting from having multiple supply chains. An example and a sensitivity analysis are used to demonstrate the model's capabilities.

When One Size Doesn’t Fit All

TL;DR: The much discussed phenomenon of alert fatigue suggests that there is too much information to process in the typical workflow when it comes to order prescribing, and organizations can turn various severity levels of alerts on or off, these rudimentary cutoffs leave much to be desired in ensuring overall patient safety.

Waiting time influence on the satisfaction-loyalty relationship in services

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how customers weigh up their service satisfaction and waiting time satisfaction in order to determine whether they will remain loyal or not, and the results confirm that waiting-time satisfaction is not only a service satisfaction determinant, but it also moderates the satisfaction-loyalty relationship.

Dual Sourcing: Responsive Hedging Against Correlated Supply and Demand Uncertainty

TL;DR: The authors analyzes dual sourcing decisions under stochastically dependent supply and demand uncertainty and finds that adding offshore supply to the sourcing portfolio becomes more favorable under positive correlation, since offshore supply is likely to satisfy demand when needed.

Services Redesign Strategies for Demand and Capacity Management and Impact on Company Performance

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the connections between chosen supply chain risks (SCR), utilization of services redesign strategies (SRS) and the effect on company execution and proposed an empirical framework where the presence of SCRs influences the use of SRS to handle peak and lean demand has been explored.
