A Study Of The Impact Of Information Blackouts On The Bullwhip Effect Of A Supply Chain Using Discrete-Event Simulations, Elizabeth Rasnick
A Study Of The Impact Of Information Blackouts On The Bullwhip Effect Of A Supply Chain Using Discrete-Event Simulations, Elizabeth Rasnick
Information Technology & Decision Sciences Theses & Dissertations
This study adds to the supply chain management literature by introducing and investigating information blackouts, sudden and short-duration failure of the information flow. This study aims to contribute to the literature in following ways: first, to define information blackouts in a supply chain. Second, to investigate the response of supply chains to information blackouts using discrete-event simulation. Prior research has focused more on analyzing systemic disruptions to supply chains from well-known sources. We expect the results of this study to be useful to supply chain managers in disaster prone areas.
Two Studies On The Use Of Information Technology In Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment (Cpfr), David Mccaw Simmonds
Two Studies On The Use Of Information Technology In Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment (Cpfr), David Mccaw Simmonds
Information Technology & Decision Sciences Theses & Dissertations
In the 1st study, I seek to determine whether there are trends in the coverage of the use of Information Technology in CPFR in support of Supply Chain Management. I look at the way technology is studied along two dimensions. The first dimension is the function within CPFR—Planning, Forecasting or Replenishment. The second dimension is level at which the study addresses use of the technology, whether at the Operational, Tactical or Strategic level. Within this 3x3 matrix, I seek to prove that studies would primarily fall along a line where the higher the level functions should be served by systems …
Simulation Modeling And Analysis Of Customs-Regulated Container Terminal Operations With Multimodal Transportation, Mariam A. Kotachi
Simulation Modeling And Analysis Of Customs-Regulated Container Terminal Operations With Multimodal Transportation, Mariam A. Kotachi
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
World trade has been increasing dramatically in the past two decades and, as a result, container exchange has grown significantly. Consequently and to meet this increase, several container terminals are expanding and many new ones are being established. A port with one or more container terminals is considered a complex system in which many entities interact to accomplish seamless handling of containers inbound and outbound. The level of complexity is drastically heightened for container terminals containing multimodal transportation systems as they typically involve ships, rail, and trucks arriving to one or more terminals delivering containers of different sizes to several …
The Development Of An Enterprise Supply Chain Model For Naval Warship Construction, Rex A. Wallen
The Development Of An Enterprise Supply Chain Model For Naval Warship Construction, Rex A. Wallen
Computational Modeling & Simulation Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The utilization of computer simulation in the shipbuilding industry is not a new concept and many shipyards in the US and around the world are using simulation tools in a variety of ways with various levels of success. In other industries, computer simulation has proven itself as a powerful tool for reducing non-value added activities and promises to become more prominent in its use as a resource management tool. Its use in the manufacturing of outfitting components in the construction of Naval warships has had limited success due mainly to the inherent nature of ship construction, especially shipyards engaged in …
