Virtualization of work in global supply chains

2016

ABSTRACT. Background: The paper is devoted to the notion and benefits of implementing virtual work in global supply chains. Virtual work must be understood as an intentional activity of a human being, aimed at rendering services (tangible and intangible), by means of ITC tools, performed in a distance from the traditional place of work, in a mobile manner. The empirical research were conducted on the basis of 4 case studies of global leaders of supply chains, which in accordance with M. Fisher's classification, represent two types. The case studies confirmed the positive influence of virtual work both in effective and flexible supply chains. Favourable market and technological conditions an…

E-supply Chain for International Technology Transfer

2001

This research (a review of current literature and empirical research) suggests that in order to make the e-supply chain for technology transfer of a Western country company (i.e., technology supplier) more efficient and effective than the conventional technology development and delivery approach, it should be considered as a process whose phases include planning, implementation and evaluation. This paper focuses only on the e-supply chain for technology package development for international technology transfer, and does not deal with all the aspects of IT-supported technology transfer process. peerReviewed

Maturity of Supply Chain as a Factor of Modeling the Relationships with Suppliers

2017

The following paper will discuss the level of maturity of the supply chain as a main factor that determines supplier relationships in the supply chain. The Ch. C. Piorier categorization was taken into consideration, where the development of supply chains includes 5 stages. Analysis of individual stages of supply chain maturity towards presented classification is a substitute for identifying different models of supplier relationships in the supply chain. In the supply chain, supplier relationships are established in order to enter into a partnership. Establishing relationships with suppliers in the supply chain appears to create by a stronger partnership. The capability of this cooperation d…

ANALYSIS OF A WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BY MEANS OF SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS

2011

The supply chains for perishable products are nowadays affected by significant wastes and losses. Their management hence requires optimized approaches in order to remove such inefficiencies. In particular optimized warehouse management policies is a well established research topic which has been recently enriched with specific formulations for deteriorating stocks and shelf life based picking rules. In such context the proposed research aims at investigating the optimal warehouse management policy, taking into account the effects of uncertainty by means of simulation and approaching the effect of optimal picking rules. In the proposed approach, on the basis of a Weibull deterioration proces…

Анализ проблем развития лесопромышленного комплекса при формировании модели экономики замкнутого цикла на примере Томской области

2019

The main objective of the paper is the conduction of the timber industry complex problems analysis from the circular economy and sustainable development point of view. The problem of waste is considered in conjunction with other environmental, economic and social problems. A modeling of the value chain process and the formation of threats along the whole chain «nature (forest) – economy – society (consumer)» is being conducted. A classification of the development problems in the timber industry complex on the basis of «created values» and «production factors» has been developed. Planned growth in logging volume and wood processing, expansion of unused waste require the development of a spec…
