The more common approaches used in the SCM consider only the physical logistic operations and ignore the financial aspects of the supply chain. The main objective to incorporate financial aspects in supply chain management is to strengthen managerial decisions concerning financial flows in supply chains, while empirical knowledge about financial supply chain management (FSCM) is in its early stages. This paper presents a model for FSCM which financial planning in addition to operation planning...

Since 1990, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) audits have assessed supply chain management as a high-risk area within the Department of Defense (DoD). In response to these findings, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) developed the National Inventory Management Strategy (NIMS) initiative. This initiative combines the consumable repair inventories of DLA (wholesale level) and each armed service (retail level) into a single national inventory. The United States Navy and DLA established...

The differential evolution approach has become a promising optimization technique in recent decades. It has been successfully applied to solve various problems in science and engineering fields; however, few applications have been addressed in the domain of supply chain management. In this paper, an improved DE approach is proposed for the aggregate planning problem in a supply chain. The approach comprises an improved DE variant with a winner-based constraint handling mechanism called the...

ABSTRACT Heat has always been a problem in countries like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. As these countries are located near the equator region, the sun’s light falls directly on them, thereby keeping their temperature high. And India, being a country having a tropical climate, experiences immense heat with little difference in temperatures between summer and winter due to its proximity to the equator. It is hot and humid all year round, with an average temperature of 27°C. A proper air...
