In this paper, we develop a new model of oligopolistic competition for fashion supply chains in the case of differentiated products with the inclusion of environmental concerns. The model assumes that each fashion firm's product is distinct by brand and the firms compete until an equilibrium is...

In this paper, we consider fashion supply chain management through cost and time minimization, from a network perspective and in the case of multiple fashion products. We develop a multicriteria decision-making optimization model subject to multimarket demand satisfaction, and provide its...

In this paper, we propose a framework for supply chain network design and redesign that allows for the determination of the optimal levels of capacity and operational product flows associated with supply chain activities of manufacturing, storage, and distribution at minimal total cost and...

In this paper, we develop a sustainable network design/redesign model for the complex supply chain of human blood, which is a valuable yet highly perishable product. Specifically, we consider the optimal design (or redesign) of a blood banking system consisting of collection sites, blood...

In this paper, we developed a supply chain network game theory model with differentiated products and transportation costs in the case of time-based oligopolistic competition. The firms are profit-maximizers and have, as their strategic variables, the product shipments and the delivery times to...

The economic and financial collapse of 2008 and 2009 due to the credit crisis in the U.S. with global ramifications impacted dramatically the landscape for mergers and acquisitions (M&As). It is anticipated that, if there is a new merger wave, then a larger percentage of M&A deals will be more...

This paper develops a supply chain network game theory framework with multiple manufacturers/producers, with multiple manufacturing plants, who own distribution centers and distribute their products, which are distinguished by brands, to demand markets, while maximizing profits and competing...
