The current economic pressures have been challenging manufacturing SMEs that play a complicated role in the Supply Chain (SC); and innovation in the manufacturing supply chain which requires new approaches and technologies. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is considered by research studies as pioneering and disruptive technology that can drive such a transformation. This paper is aimed at investigating in what measures can additive manufacturing techniques adopted as an opportunity for the supply chain in SMEs. Initially, the literature review looks into needs and challenges of SMEs in the SC identifying solutions and strategies. The research further analyses AM's impact on the supply chain, evaluating benefits and drawbacks that AM delivers in this context. IT aims to examine the use of strategic maps, analytical tools and suitable tactical paths to implement and integrate this technology within supply chain. The paper describes the potential effects of the open sources networks and hence argues that a gradual integration of AM with traditional technologies is a plausible way for small manufacturers. However, there are several innovative approaches, and this scenario is rapidly evolving. Material and machines costs reduction could deliver significant changes. Therefore, further and updated investigations from a supply chain perspective are recommended, especially looking at practical cases and examples for this study within this context.

The present research proposes a implementation model of Lean Manufacturing starting from a production system defined with Theory of Constraints (TOC). The paper describes a case study at a major Ecuadorian footwear company with the aim of reducing delivery times and inventories generated by work in process. Value stream mapping is used to identify wasteful action as opportunities for improvement and with the implementation model both Lean and Theory of Constraints tools are applied. The analysis of activities that add and do not add value in the value stream of the current state and then allows to develop the map of the future state from the relationship between the analysis of constraints and the inventory of the TOC and Pull production and takt time of Lean. The results allow to demonstrate the successful application of the model in the footwear industry with a reduction in nonvalue-added time and inventory of 40% and 78% respectively.

Reservoir is one of water management facilities. The role of the reservoir has become prominent in recent years due to increased demand for water, intensified pressure on limited water resources, more frequent extreme weather, and heightened degree of climate change. The management of multiple and multi-purpose reservoir systems is complex as it involves the issues of dimensionalities, nonlinearities and conflicts between different objectives. Optimization and simulation models have been used as a tool for providing quantitative information regarding optimal reservoir operation. This research demonstrates the use of optimization techniques to improve water allocation for multiple and multi-purpose reservoir systems. The optimal reservoir releases were determined by linear programing using IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio software. The objective function was developed to minimize water deficit in dry years under the constraints of reservoir storage, reservoir continuity, and water balance at each node of the river network. Two modeling approaches including time horizon and non-time horizon were applied to a case study of the Lower Chao Phraya River basin which is characterized by two reservoirs and a number of control structures along the channels. When compared to non- time horizon, the time horizon gave higher accuracy of the results. This suggested that using time horizon framework could provide beneficial support for better reservoir management and operational efficiency.

Supply Chain wide proactive risk management based on real-time risk related information transparency is required to increase the security of modern, volatile supply chains. At this time, none or only limited empirical/objective information about digitalization benefits for supply chain risk management is available. A method is needed, which draws conclusion on the estimation of costs and benefits of digitalization initiatives. The paper presents a flexible simulation based approach for assessing digitalization scenarios prior to realization. The assessment approach is integrated into a framework and its applicability will be shown in a case study of a German steel producer, evaluating digitalization effects on the Mean Lead time-at-risk.

A coconut grower family who used to sell their produce to processing plant is now considering transforming their business by expanding their role in the coconut supply chain from coconut farmer into agriproduct processing because it can prolong consumption age which make to exporting. The farmers' revenues and profits can be increased if they consider expanding their role in the supply chain by being responsible for the trimming and transporting the trimmed coconuts to the exporters. In this paper, we consider a coconut supply chain in which the fresh coconuts are supplied to a central processing plant from multiple coconut plantations. There, the fresh coconuts are trimmed and then transported to the exporters. All of these activities will be responsible by the farmers. The farmer of this coconut supply chain has to make decisions such as the committed export quantity in the export contract which will be signed one year in advance the processing quantity of fresh coconuts, the number of labor for harvest, the number of labor for production process at each stage, and the production schedule through a mathematical model is developed. It considers constraints like the volume and quality of coconut, time limitation and restriction of labor. The results shows the appropriate volume of fresh coconut and the labor rise to the satisfy demand of customer. Consequently, the farmer increase profit in business.

In this study, we investigated the effect of image category and color combination on visual fatigue and eye-tracking performance. Thirty subjects were recruited in this study. A two way factorial design was used to investigate the effect of image category (women, men, jewelry, animals and vehicles) and color combination (yellow on red, blue on yellow, yellow on black and white on blue) on change of critical fusion frequency (CFF) and fixation time. The ANOVA results indicated that color combination was significant on change of CFF, where more visual fatigue was found on yellow on red and blue on yellow than that on yellow on black and white on blue. The results also showed that image category was a significant factor on fixation time, while the lowest fatigue was found on women image and the longest fixation was found on vehicle image.
