Disruptions can adversely affect profitability, service level, and even the viability of supply networks (SNs). Natural disasters, COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions heightened disruption risks for SNs. We propose a methodological framework to guide design resilient SNs, with focus on efficient resilience. In fact, despite an increasing economic social interest in SN resilience large variety qualitative frameworks, there is lack model-based frameworks decision makers complex task...
Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) are two significant initiatives that have engaged European global business over the past few years. While direct effects of these on performance been found, nature interactions among remain largely unexamined. This exploratory study theorises investigates how I4.0 technologies can facilitate CLSC initiatives. Data collected analysed from enterprises located in northeast Italy. Partial least squares structural equation modelling...
<ns3:p>Background Worldwide, the worker population age is growing at an increasing rate. Consequently, government institutions and companies are being tasked to find new ways address age-related workforce management challenges opportunities. The development of age-friendly working environments enhance ageing inclusion diversity has become a current national policy imperative. Since spreading worldwide trend, identification analysis related best practices across different countries would help...

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in all areas of life, including supply chains (SCs). This paper presents a new risk-averse mixed-integer nonlinear problem mathematical model for the design and planning two-echelon resilient SC network. Disruption events, which can partially or completely reduce available capacity, are included model. model's objective is to minimise total costs by determining optimal facility location allocation flows resilience actions hedging...
The growing competition and the destabilising effects of climate, disease other external perils bring important challenges to companies worldwide. Supply chain (SC) networks become more complex with a exposure broad range uncertainties, some which may cause network disruptions. Neglecting these kinds risks lead adverse consequences, such as negative financial effects, higher transportation costs, order delays, inventory shortages, loss market shares. Frequent disruption events that have been...
This study aims at investigating the logistic performance of centralised healthcare supply chains and quantifies consequent benefits on entire system sustainability. The focus is drug inventory management distribution inside a network hospitals, re-designed optimised by applying hub spoke perspective coupled with logistics outsourcing. An Italian HSC analysed multi-method simulation modelling in order to understand overall sustainability new integrated chain. findings provide comprehensive...

The buffer allocation problem (BAP) is a crucial research issue in designing manufacturing systems. Several methods have been proposed including simulation modelling, exact and heuristics approaches. Simulation usually time-consuming requires expensive software; analytical approaches necessitate specific knowledge that uncommon companies, especially among small-medium enterprises (SMEs). Thus, practitioners generally develop empirical based on their experience, to get buffers size with...
