However, designing a resilient network for the poultry vaccine supply chain to create a viable poultry industry has been neglected. Hence, this paper contributes to the poultry vaccine supply chain network design and planning problem by proposing a multi-period mixed-integer linear mathematical model. This model formulizes several resiliency strategies, including considering surplus vaccine production capacity, inventory holding in the customers and manufacturers, simultaneous utilization of both offshore suppliers and domestic manufacturers, and the necessity for fulfilling a proportion of periodic demand using warehoused vaccines. In addition, time-based prices and limited holding periods of poultry vaccines are considered in the model formulation to consider vaccine perishability. The newly developed model minimizes the poultry vaccine supply chain’s total costs, including vaccine purchasing, transportation, warehousing, manufacturer establishment, and opportunity cost, to make decisions on poultry vaccine manufacturer location-allocation, offshore supplier selection, customer order allocation, depot selection, and production capacity allocation. This model is solved in a case study of the chicken industry from Iran using CPLEX solver to design a new supply chain network for Newcastle, Gumboro, and Bronchitis vaccines from 2025 to 2030. Results showed that 6, 7, and 7 locations of 8 candidates have opted for Newcastle, Gumboro, and Bronchitis vaccine production lines establishment, respectively, and two offshore suppliers are selected between 4 potential ones. In addition, the results of stress tests verified the effectiveness of employed resiliency strategies, and sensitivity analysis showed the significant impact of demand variability on establishment and purchasing costs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100098"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143098647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed mixed-integer linear programming model aims to minimize the total cost of the supply chain while maximizing social objectives such as reducing unemployment. To solve the bi-objective model, a three-stage approach is employed: first, uncertain parameters are defuzzified; second, the augmented epsilon-constraint method is applied to generate a set of efficient Pareto-optimal solutions; and third, robust optimization is used to handle real-world uncertainties, such as disruptions caused by natural disasters and sanctions, ensuring feasibility under different scenarios. The study considers various stages of the supply chain, from feedstock cultivation to processing, transportation, and distribution. A real-life case study in Iran is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, highlighting that biodiesel and bioethanol supply chains are interrelated, particularly at the cultivation stage, where each crop impacts the other. In this regard, Kermanshah, Isfahan, Chahar Mahal & Bakhtiari, Khorasan North, Kohgiluyeh & Boyer-Ahmad, and Lorestan are identified as the most suitable provinces for second-generation plant cultivation. Additionally, Azerbaijan East is identified as the best location for a bioethanol refinery, while Tehran and Markazi are the optimal choices for biodiesel refineries.

Organizations striving for competitiveness and resilience must adeptly recognize, comprehend, and address disruptions. This study presents a three-phase digital supply chain twin framework, leveraging discrete event simulation and neural networks to anticipate floods—a typical natural catastrophe and disruptive event—and predict recovery indicators. This aids supply chain (SC) managers in making informed decisions. In the first phase, machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), were trained on Kerala India's precipitation data to predict floods. LSTM outperforms logistic regression, achieving flood prediction with 73 % recall, 75 % accuracy, and 84 % Area Under Curve-Receiver Operating Characteristics score. In the second phase, simulations replicate value chain breakdowns. A process flow logic-driven discrete event simulation within a real-world SC network emulates operational disruptions. FlexSim is employed to model service-level failures, influencing SC model performance based on the distribution center service level. The third phase employs simulated case scenario data to train a multilayer neural perceptron network (MLPNN) for predicting production network recovery post-disruptions. The MLPNN monitors the mean squared error (MSE) and disruptive inputs throughout training and validation, revealing consistent MSE reduction over recovery periods. The number of epochs needed to achieve a minimum MSE is used as a recovery indicator to predict service restoration time. Consequently, this study introduces a conceptual digital twin framework for catastrophic operations chain breakdowns and recovery prediction. The framework's output assists SC planners in shaping robust strategies by foreseeing disruptions and facilitating recovery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100091"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142720250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact that these products have on sustainability cannot be overlooked. Many cosmetics contain unsustainable ingredients that can cause environmental damage and loss of biodiversity. In addition, fossil-based packaging contributes greatly to environmental pollution and increases waste in the absence of a circular supply chain. This work has a dual objective. The first is to provide a strategic analysis based on a multi-criteria approach to evaluate the most sustainable alternatives to traditional packaging that manufacturers could adopt based on the opinions of experts from different categories of stakeholders. In this study, the multi-criteria approach was employed, as it has been widely recognized in the literature for its effectiveness in evaluating and comparing alternatives across multiple, often conflicting criteria. The second is to provide a social analysis to assess consumers’ views, habits, preferences, and willingness to pay toward sustainable packaging. The results show divergence among experts who prefer refillable packaging while consumers prefer recyclable packaging. In contrast, a convergence in selling price and production costs is verified, highlighting the strategic importance of the economic dimension is for sustainable packaging, and the willingness to pay for sustainable packaging is about twice that of traditional packaging. The implications of this work suggest that circular supply chains covering the entire life cycle of products, based on a pragmatic approach, can drive the convergence of consumption and production patterns toward sustainable development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100090"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142593027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
