In the face of a substantial and uncertain growth of behind-the-meter Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), utilities and regulators are currently in the search for new network planning strategies for facilitating an efficient Transmission &…
The current surge in supply chain finance has significantly alleviated the "capital challenges" faced by domestic related enterprises, enabling enterprises upstream and subsequent stages of the industrial chain to achieve effective…
To improve decision-making and planning efficiency in back-end centralized redundant supply chains, this paper proposes a decision model integrating deep learning with intelligent particle swarm optimization. A distributed node deployment…
Supply Chain (SC) modeling is essential to understand and influence SC behavior, especially for increasingly globalized and complex SCs. Existing models address various SC notions, e.g., processes, tiers and production, in an isolated…
Supply Chain coordination has become a critical success factor for Supply Chain management (SCM) and effectively improving the performance of organizations in various industries. Companies are increasingly located at the intersection of one…
Generally during recent decades due to development of power systems, the methods for delivering electrical energy to consumers, and because of voltage variations is a very important problem, the power plants follow this criteria. The good…
Supply chain networks in enterprises are typically composed of complex topological graphs involving various types of nodes and edges, accommodating numerous products with considerable demand and supply variability. However, as supply chain…
While consolidation strategies form the backbone of many supply chain optimisation problems, exploitation of multi-tier material relationships through consolidation remains an understudied area, despite being a prominent feature of…
In this paper, the differences between an integrated and hierarchical generation and transmission expansion planning approaches are first described. Then, the hierarchical approach is described in detail. In general terms, in this scheme…
Build-to-order (BTO) supply chains have become common-place in industries such as electronics, automotive and fashion. They enable building products based on individual requirements with a short lead time and minimum inventory and…
Risks and potential benefits of distributing software development projects globally depend to a large extent on how to allocate work to different development sites and regions. Existing methods in task allocation are likely to omit the…
