The manufacturer manufactures products from raw materials to finished products and adapts them for sale to meet key market demands. Used products from consumers will be returned to the retailer to be processed by remanufacturing under a technology license, and the rest will be returned to the manufacturer for remanufacturing, refurbishing, recycling, or waste disposal. The models are formulated mathematically and constructed under three scenarios – centralized, decentralized, and a Stackelberg game led by the manufacturer. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results of the developed model. The result suggests that both types of investment can assist the closed-loop supply chain in enhancing its financial and environmental performance. It also suggests that lowering emissions levels through green technology might increase product selling prices, hence increasing sales volume.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100051"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S294986352300050X/pdfft?md5=fd97b7fb3276a37a9b4242146b0739d9&pid=1-s2.0-S294986352300050X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92026707","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 model includes multiple suppliers, factories, and customers, where the construction of factories is a strategic decision, and determining the amount of production and allocating human resources with different levels of expertise is taken as a tactical decision. Also, the capital recovery factor has been used in the mathematical model to prevent the influence of strategic decisions on tactical decisions. The results from the mathematical models of epsilon limit, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II), and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) show that by reducing the amount of shortage, the amount of production has increased, and as a result, the costs of production, supply and distribution and transportation have increased. Also, with the increase in the production and transportation of products, greenhouse gas emissions have also increased. Examining the impact of the uncertainty rate on the Robust Fuzzy Optimization (RFO) model also shows that with the increase of this coefficient, due to the increase in the demand in the network, the total costs of production, distribution, purchase of raw materials, and transportation have increased. Examining different comparison indices between solution methods also shows that heuristic methods have higher efficiency than exact methods. MOPSO is more efficient than NSGA II for the designed mathematical model in these investigations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100044"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49765633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed methodology is evaluated through a comprehensive empirical study involving 30 teams in a large supply chain company, revealing notable improvements in forecasting accuracy. Compared to a baseline scenario without process improvement data, the new methodology achieves an enhanced accuracy score by 17% and an improved F1 score by 13 %. These findings highlight the benefits of integrating Lean maturity assessments and adopting a hybrid forecasting model, contributing to the advancement of supply chain analytics. By incorporating lean maturity assessments, the forecasting process is enhanced, providing a deeper comprehension of the underlying Lean framework and the impact of its elements on supply chain performance.

However, in the face of growing demand for sustainability, this strategy faces significant challenges. Adoption of localised supply chains is deemed a more sustainable option, yet its efficacy requires verification. Supply chain analytics methodologies provide invaluable tools to guide decisions regarding inventory management, demand forecasting and distribution optimisation. These solutions not only enhance facilitate operational efficiency, but also pave the way for cost reduction, further aligning with sustainability objectives. This research introduces a novel decision-making approach anchored in mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and neighbourhood flow models defined in cellular automata to compare the environmental benefits and vulnerability to disruption of these two chain configurations. Additionally, a comprehensive cost analysis is integrated to assess the economic feasibility of incorporating layout changes that enhance supply chain sustainability. The proposed framework is applied on an ice cream supply chain across England over a one-year timeframe. The findings indicate the superiority of the localised configuration in terms of economic benefits, leading to savings exceeding £ 1 million, alongside important reductions in environmental impact. However, in terms of resilience, the traditional configuration remains superior in three out of the four examined scenarios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100043"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49727256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
