Production routing problem is one of the problems of the integrated planning that interests in optimizing simultaneously production, inventory, and distribution planning. This chapter has the purpose of developing two mono-objective models for the production-routing problem: one of them minimizes the total costs which is the classical objective while the other one minimizes the energy consumed by the production system. A bi-objective model is then proposed to combine the two objectives mentioned previously using LP-metric method. To solve big instances of the problem in reasonable time, an approximate approach is proposed using the rolling horizon-based fix and relax heuristic. Finally, computational results are presented to compare the solutions obtained by both approaches.

Retail is one of the most important industries that is continuously improving around the world and in particular in Turkey. Competitive advantages owned by firms keep businesses one step ahead of their competitors. The main objectives of this chapter are determination of the main competitive advantages and capabilities for firm performance, determination of competitive advantages and capabilities which are relatively important for firm performance, and determination of competitive advantages and capabilities that are mainly used under the effects of environmental dynamism for firm performance in the Turkish retail industry. In this chapter, retailers are evaluated into two groups as organized and traditional. Totally, 50 competitive advantages and capabilities were identified in the research. The results of the study would be beneficial both for retail literature and retail business life.

An efficient supply chain management helps to increase the productivity of a business. Use of information technology and concepts like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud computing have integrated the different aspects of supply chain with its stakeholders. Published literature in the field of SCM, IT, and the pharmaceutical industry has been reviewed, and different aspects of innovation, technique, risks, advancements, factors, and models have been taken into consideration to form a comprehensive chapter focusing on the role of information technology in the supply chain management of the pharmaceutical industry. The chapter finds that IT has made a significant impact in improving the efficiency of SCM. But its successful implementation and collaboration with other firms is the key to success for an efficient SCM. Within each category, gaps have been identified.

Multidisciplinary cooperation of participating healthcare professionals, use of common standards in diagnostics, and clinical pathways in the treatment of vascular patients should provide for a higher-quality clinical practice. Using telemedicine, a more efficient way of obtaining specialist treatment is achievable. However, its introduction may raise safety and security issues, which originate from its enabling information technology. In this chapter, a model of patient-telemonitoring after revascularization procedures in the lower extremities is presented. A protocol for proper authentication and authorization to access medical equipment and patient medical records has been introduced. The associated clinical study has shown that most post-operative follow-up examinations can successfully be performed by trained nurses. Hence, improvements to healthcare logistics, mainly due to shortening waiting times for specialist treatment and the reduction of follow-up examinations on the secondary healthcare level, can be achieved using telemedicine.
