TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the reasons why one would want to use simulation as the analysis methodology to evaluate supply chains, its advantages and disadvantages against other analysis methodologies such as optimization, and business scenarios where simulation can find cost reductions that other methodologies would miss.
Abstract: In business today, re-engineering has taken a great deal of the cost out of internal corporate processes. Our factories and internal support organizations have become much more efficient, but there is still a great deal of unnecessary cost in the overall delivery system, or the supply chain. Although your corporation does not own all of the supply chain, the entire chain is responsible for product delivery and customer satisfaction. As one of several methodologies available for supply chain analysis, simulation has distinct advantages and disadvantages when compared to other analysis methodologies. This paper discusses the reasons why one would want to use simulation as the analysis methodology to evaluate supply chains, its advantages and disadvantages against other analysis methodologies such as optimization, and business scenarios where simulation can find cost reductions that other methodologies would miss.

TL;DR: In this paper, a re-classification of the 6R (reduce, recover, redesign, reuse, recycle, remanufacturing) methodology for rectifying waste minimisation along a supply chain, to increase product utilisation at the post-use stage is presented.
Abstract: Purpose – Owing to the manufacturing trend of stringent product disposal regulations, a new business scenario, which requires an alternative disposal option on consumer products and further product recovery operations, is increasingly important for promoting sustainable supply chain performance. The purpose of this paper is to explore the use to post‐use stage of the product lifecycle, that may have significant potential for increasing product utilisation value and reducing product disposal to landfills.Design/methodology/approach – The paper proposes a re‐classification of the 6R (reduce, recover, redesign, reuse, recycle, remanufacturing) methodology for rectifying waste minimisation along a supply chain, to increase product utilisation at the post‐use stage.Findings – Intensive study of 6R considerations to improve end‐of‐life planning and strategy and extend of product lifecycle management is lacking. None of the existing supply chain frameworks clearly illustrates the aspects of 6R perspectives for t...

TL;DR: In this article, sustainable intensification is defined and interpreted in terms of a framework to support production of farmed aquatic animals in Asia and their trade with Europe and a novel holistic perspective to value chain analysis, informed by a range of sustainability tools, is used to explain the dynamic in the trade that is having significant impacts on livelihoods in both regions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrated theory and practices of supply chain management, incorporating more than 15 years of research and industry consulting experience to both government and industry firms, focusing on how to build a competitive supply chain using viable management strategies.
Abstract: Integrating theory and practices of supply chain management, this book incorporates more than 15 years of supply chain and operations management research and industry consulting experience to both government and industry firms.The coverage focuses on how to build a competitive supply chain using viable management strategies, operational models, decision-making techniques, and information technology. It includes a core presentation on supply chain management and new initiatives such as e-commerce, collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR), data mining, knowledge management, and business intelligence.

TL;DR: An exploratory case study identifies what a combined view of the value and supply chain would entail and proposes five fundamental decisions that define the latter and explores the application and utility of the “value chain architecture” concept in both academia and practice.
