Several factors must usually be taken into account when deciding the design of a supply chain network. In most cases, the economic impact and the resulting service quality are the most common. In this sense, one of the strategies with a big impact in both factors is which inventory centralization level is the most appropriate. High decentralization levels usually provides a better service but with a higher costs due to a more inefficient use of resources. However, the environmental impact of this decision has not been considered in this equation. Here it is analyzed whether considering environmental impact could affect the decision regarding the centralization level. An experimental framework has been designed to check the influence of two factors (the clustering of the clients and their closeness to the manufacturing plant), using a MILP model to look for the best distribution network for each instance.

The goal of this paper is to analyze and compare the performances of two Hybrid Production Planning and Control (HPPCs) systems, namely CONWIP and Workload Control. Although several implementations of HPPCs reported excellent results, in fact, many authors have discharged the concept, arguing that these systems can only reduce manufacturing lead times and control WIP to the detriment of production rate, punctuality or service level. The paper starts from a brief review of the literature on HPPCs. Afterwards, the paper uses a common simulation model from the literature to compare two simple and easy-to-implement configurations of CONWIP and Workload Control against the baseline of a classic push system. The results of the simulations lead to important conclusions and suggest interesting improvements of simulation models and future directions of research for better understanding HPPCs.

The permutation flowshop scheduling and the single machine scheduling problems are two classical problems in the scheduling literature. Since the former is known to be NP-hard for more than two machines, hundreds of algorithms have been implemented in the last decades to solve it. Furthermore, several computational studies have found that the permutation flowshop to minimise makespan is easily solvable for structured (i.e. processing times are job- and/or machine-correlated) instances and when the initial availability of all machines for processing jobs cannot be assumed. Our working hypothesis to explain this behaviour is that, under certain conditions of machine availability or structured processing times, only one stage in the flowshop layout determines the optimal sequence, approximately transforming the flowshop scheduling problem into a single machine scheduling problem. Since the single machine scheduling problem with makespan objective is a trivial problem where all feasible sequences are optimal, such transformation may explain why it is so easy to find good solutions for such flowshop scheduling problems. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to study under which assumptions a permutation flowshop scheduling problem can be reduced to a single machine scheduling problem. More specifically, we focus onto the two most common objectives in the literature (i.e. makespan and total flowtime). Our work is a combination of theoretical and computational analysis, therefore several properties are derived, together with an extensive computational evaluation.

The necessity to simultaneously satisfy different stakeholders' objectives in an industrial project or in a process requires efficient performance management for decision-making. With the characteristics of multi-dimensions and dynamic nature of performance and the proliferation of evaluation criteria, the design and construction of performance measurement and management systems are facing new challenges. However, none of the existing methodologies and tools can globally satisfy this expectation. In this context, a new methodological framework, named BCVR, has been developed to help decision-makers in performance management and decision-making processes on the basis of four assessment dimensions, namely: benefit, cost, value and risk. In this paper, the basic concepts and the main mechanisms of the proposed framework are presented with an illustration about supplier selection risk assessment in a typical supply chain process.

This work is an extension of previous works [1], [2], [3] about scheduling jobs on identical parallel machines with constraints of unavailabilities to minimize the makespan. We are interested in this paper on the case with two identical parallel machines such that each machine is unavailable for one unavailability period such that the preemption of jobs is not allowed. We are divided this problem on five cases and for each of them we are proposed a heuristic to minimize the makespan. The obtained results, compared with those of Chien and Liao [13], show that our heuristics quit efficient in solving large problems.

This conference session invites reflection on how to design and/or manage a supply chain system from supply chain dynamics perspective. It emphasizes the interactions between supply chain players and the economic consequences. The most popular topic of supply chain dynamics is called “bullwhip effect”. It is the term used to describe the scenario that orders upstream tend to have large fluctuations than the sales downstream. It produces severe impact on the suppliers' performance such as excessive capacity, labor idling and over-time; eventually these costs will be passed onto customers. The area has received considerable attention in the past two decades, but there are still many open questions. Although many reasons jeopardize the performance of the supply chain, the issue of supply chain dynamics might be universal. A local farm would be vulnerable facing the bullwhip effect due to the products' perishable feature. A multinational might suffer because of the geographical dispersion.

Because of insufficient capacity of hospitals, all patients on waiting lists can't be treated immediately. Then, patients must be prioritized for treatment based on variety of factors. But, current decisions regarding patients' prioritization have been criticized as being highly subjective and inadequate to assess urgency and case-mix of patients. This study presents a new risk based prioritization framework using fuzzy soft sets, in an attempt to overcome the limitations of current approaches. The proposed framework can aid hospitals' decision makers to evaluate and select the high-risk patients in uncertain and complex environments. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a numerical study for surgical patients' prioritization is considered. The numerical study suggests that the proposed framework not only considers various perspectives and risks in determining patients' priorities, but also remains noticeably robust as shown by sensitivity analysis. This framework can increases patients' safety, quality of care, and decrease uncertainties and total risks that threaten patients on waiting lists. Besides it can have significant impact on both the medical community and the public's faith in justice and equity.

Black box optimizers have a long tradition in the field of operations research. These procedures treat the objective function evaluation as a black box and therefore do not take advantage of its specific structure. Black-box optimization refers to the process in which there is a complete separation between the evaluation of the objective function -and perhaps other functions used to enforce constraints- and the solution procedure. The challenge of optimizing black boxes is to develop methods that can produce outcomes of reasonable quality without taking advantage of problem structure and employing a computational effort that is adequate for the context.
