Up-to-Date Supply Chain Management: The Coordinated (S, R) Order-Up-to
2011
This paper presents the mathematical derivation of a new generation of the most largely used periodic review policy in supply chain: the coordinated (S, R) replenishment rule. We first derive the classical order-up-to model and then we modify it to generate the coordinated decision policy equations. We run a numerical simulation on a serial supply chain model to show differences in the two policies. We conclude on the managerial implications related to coordinated replenishment.

Simulation analysis of cold chain performance based on time–temperature data
2011
Perishable goods are a fundamental source of revenue for the retail sector; their management, however, constitutes a severe challenge for retailers and supply chain partners. A significant cost in particular is the fraction of products perished through the supply chain, which also constitutes an ethical and environmental concern. Supply chain organisation and operative characteristics have a significant influence on this matter, as in fact ensuring suitable temperature conditions for the stock-keeping units throughout the supply chain is mandatory for perishable products. Recent developments in sensing and communication technologies allow detailed monitoring and control of cold chain; howev…

Italian “Gelli–Bianco” law (law n. 24 enacted by the Italian Government on 8 March 2017) introduced innovative changes and regulations regarding patient safety and healthcare workers’ (HCWs) liability.
