Remanufacturing practices in closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs) are often characterised by
highly variable lead times due to the uncertain quality of returns. However, the impact of …

This work analyses partial information sharing involving retailers with different operational
configurations. Retailers are characterized by four operational factors, ie, demand variance …

This work quantifies the financial impact of the mean and the variability of production and
ship** lead times on multi-echelon supply chains. We combine agent-based modelling …

Increasing the understanding of the management of closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs) is
fundamental to accelerate the much-desired transition towards the circular economy. From …

In global supply chains, high uncertainty coming from liner ship** forces manufacturers
who commit to on-time delivery to face great losses from tardiness or earliness. To find a …

Lead-time demand forecasting constitutes the backbone of inventory control. Although there
has been a considerable amount of research on forecasting the mean lead-time demand …

In this paper we consider supply chains with multiple stages of serial or network structure.
The supply chains are endogenous in the sense that they involve queues because each …
