      Sustainable Supply Chain Management: Computational Approaches and Modelling provides a comprehensive understanding of how computational approaches can be leveraged to address the challenges associated with sustainable supply chain management. It offers insights into emerging and advanced modelling techniques to optimize supply chain operations while considering environmental, social, and economic factors. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in understanding and implementing sustainable supply chain management practices through computational approaches and modelling. This book helps researchers understand the opportunities, challenges, and solutions by developing innovative computational tools and techniques to integrate sustainability considerations into supply chain decision-making processes.

    • Logistics Engineering and Health

      • 1st Edition
      • Hayfa Zgaya + 1 more
      • English
      This book presents the research that resulted from a fruitful collaboration between many CNRS research laboratories, health establishments and industrialists. This research contributes to the study and the development of logistical systems, in particular health-oriented logistical systems, in order to manage and optimize physical, informational and financial flows. The authors examine optimization and modeling methods to facilitate decision support for the management of logistics systems in the health field, including solutions to problems encountered in the management of logistics flows and the study of systems incorporating these flows. In the first chapter, logistics engineering is presented whilst the second chapter introduces the study of real cases of transport, management crisis and warehouse management logistics systems. The third chapter is devoted to the study of hospital systems and emergency services and in the fourth chapter, the authors highlight the operational aspect of the hospital system thanks to an innovative modeling approach. Finally, mathematical and algorithmic models of scheduling, and dynamic orchestration of the collaborative workflow by a multi-agent system, are introduced.

      Benefit from the practices of the best logistics managersOne of the nation's top authorities on logistics management presents a focused interpretation of research findings to help managers improve logistical competency within their organizations. Zeroing in on the best practices of successful logistic managers - and well supported by statistical evidence this handbook provides a sequential model as well as extensive coverage of Electronic Data Interchange in the logistics process. You'll find out why logistics must play an increasingly critical role in overall corporate strategy in the coming years, and why its managers must learn to better manage change. Special emphasis is placed on the development of strategic alliances to increase corporate speed and quality. Throughout the eight chapters, an action-oriented case dialogue facilitates interest and ease of reading.
