In this paper, we develop a tractable network model and computational approach for the design and redesign of medical nuclear supply chains. Our focus is on the supply chain of the most commonly used radioisotope for medical imaging utilized in cardiac and cancer diagnostics. This topic is of...

In this paper, we develop a supply chain/logistics network model for critical needs in the case of disruptions. The objective is to minimize the total network costs, which are generalized costs that may include the monetary, risk, time, and social costs. The model assumes that disruptions may...

Globalization and technological advances, notably, in telecommunications networks and in the development of new financial instruments, have transformed the financial services landscape and their impacts have been studied empirically. In this paper, in contrast, we focus on the theoretical...
