The notion of risk is receiving greater attention in research on supply chain management by academics and practitioners alike. As firms collaborate and combine forces to compete as extended enterprises against other integrated supply chains, risk is linked to the interdependence among supply...

An algorithm is described which permits the computation of optimal (minimum-duration) solutions for the resource-constrained project network scheduling problem under conditions of multiple resource requirements per job (activity). The approach is a form of bounded enumeration and employs...

The problem addressed is that of scheduling the activities of a project network to minimize project duration under conditions of multiple limited resource requirements and availabilities. Various heuristic sequencing rules have been applied to this problem, and the effectiveness of these rules...

Purpose: Inventory management systems in health-care supply chains (HCSC) have been pushed to breaking point by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unanticipated demand shocks due to stockpiling of medical supplies caused stockouts, and the stockouts triggered systematic supply chain (SC) disruptions...
