Modeling of responsive supply chain [electronic resource] / M.K. Tiwari ... [et al.].

Includes bibliographical references and index.

1. Supply chain responsiveness -- 2. A supply chain optimization perspective to achieve responsiveness -- 3. Supply chain coordination : modeling through contracts -- 4. System dynamics applications in supply chain modeling -- 5. Technologies for supply chain integration and interoperability.

"Addressing various aspects of supply chain management, this book describes the coordination between various elements in supply chain and optimizes the problem using both conventional and evolutionary approaches. It considers different models in the supply chain such as the transportation model, facility location model, assignment model, and planning and scheduling models. The text presents diverse technologies like RFID tags for detection of flow of particular item in the supply chain network. It also addresses the use of artificial intelligent optimization techniques in different types of supply chain problems and the use of specific coordination mechanisms and different analytical models"-- Provided by publisher.
