A supply chain comprises different actors existing in different
countries, including suppliers, producers, and customers. Clothes
are supplied from Asia to all other regions; most coffee beans are
supplied from South America; and cocoa is produced in Africa.
Protecting the rights of people who produce goods in different
countries is essential. In fact, according to this evolutionary
law, companies need to identify, analyze, and prioritize the risks
in their supply chains, and new policies must be established based
on these results. New measures are taken to prevent or minimize
violations of human rights and damage to the environment. Companies
also need to set up grievance channels for people in the supply
chains for regular reporting on supply chain practices. The German
Supply Chain Act gives consumers the security that companies are
managed based on fair production, and many similar legislations are
likely to follow in other nations. Businesses around the world must
prepare for these types of policies to impact their own supply
chain management strategy before they are enforced if they wish to
avoid revenue-impacting delays. Government Impact on Sustainable
and Responsible Supply Chain Management is edited by Atour
Taghipour, with about a decade of experience as a director in
Automobile and High-Tech Industries, provides new and innovative
ways to integrate social and environmental analysis into global
value chains and adapt the law that regulates corporate
responsibility for the observance of sustainability and human
rights in the supply chain. This book is ideal for professionals
and researchers working in governmental and private organizations
in supply chain management, operations management, logistics, and
operations research. Moreover, the book provides insights and
support for executives in managing expertise, knowledge,
information, and organizational development in different work
communities and environments.
The development of information technology in supply chains has
shown that this digital revolution can be a source of performance
for enterprises and governments. Among these technologies is
blockchain. The application of blockchains in cryptocurrency
reduces information security risks and eliminates several
processing and transaction fees and allows countries with volatile
currencies to have a more stable currency. Blockchain Applications
in Cryptocurrency for Technological Evolution features a collection
of contributions related to the application of blockchain
technology in cryptocurrency. It further explains the ways in which
these applications have affected the industry. Covering topics such
as crypto mining attacks, data processing architecture, and
purchase power, this premier reference source is an excellent
resource for business leaders and executives, IT managers,
logistics specialists, students and faculty of higher education,
librarians, researchers, and academicians.
During global crises, apart from humanitarian concerns, at the
economic level, supply chains around the world can be impacted.
These crises can cause huge uncertainties in both the supply and
demand parts of supply chains. On one side, the demand for some
products and services can be reduced. On the other side,
manufacturers around the world are facing shortages of supplies of
raw materials and parts because of interruptions in production,
disruptions to transportation, and labor shortages. In this
context, organizations start to re-examine their production and
service systems based on digitization of operations to not only
mitigate the risk but also to build a resilient supply chain while
continuing to reduce costs and maximize profits. The question that
can be asked is how the decentralized supply chains can integrate
new technologies to compete in a risky environment in global
crises. Digitalization of Decentralized Supply Chains During Global
Crises provides new approaches of digitalization of decentralized
supply chains and industries to help researchers, educators,
consultants, and practitioners deal with global crises and improve
the global performance of supply chains. Important topics covered
include blockchain, internet of things, 3D technologies, and
Industry 4.0 technologies within the context of digital supply
chains. This book is important for supply chain managers,
manufacturers, producers, logistics personnel, economists,
practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and
students.
Efficient supply chain management is essential for maintaining
successful workflows within companies. A lack of decisional,
organizational, and information integration can lead to increased
cost for a business due to missed opportunities, delays,
inefficient inventory decisions, poor capacity allocation, and
misuse of resources. Companies must employ collaborative practices
across all functions of the supply chain in order to avoid costly
mishaps. Hierarchical Planning and Information Sharing Techniques
in Supply Chain Management is an essential reference source that
discusses information exchanges and approaches of coordination
related to operation planning for a better understanding of how
hierarchical planning techniques and principles can contribute to
the effective and efficient management and planning of supply chain
activities. Featuring research on topics such as competitive
advantages, information sharing, and transport management, this
book is ideally designed for managers, academicians, and
practitioners in the field of supply chain management, operations
management, logistics, and operations research.
In a decentralized supply chain, most of the supply chain agents
may not share information due to confidentiality policies, quality
of information, or different system incompatibilities. Every actor
holds its own set of information and attempts to maximize its
objective (minimizing costs/minimizing inventory holdings) based on
the available settings. Therefore, the agents control their own
activities with the objective of improving their own
competitiveness, which leads them to make decisions that maximize
their local performance by ignoring the other agents or even the
final consumer. These decisions are myopic because they do not
consider the performance of all the partners to satisfy the
consumer. Demand Forecasting and Order Planning in Supply Chains
and Humanitarian Logistics is a collection of innovative research
that focuses on demand anticipation, forecasting, and order
planning as well as humanitarian logistics to propose original
solutions for existing problems. While highlighting topics
including artificial intelligence, information sharing, and
operations management, this book is ideally designed for supply
chain managers, logistics personnel, business executives,
management experts, operation industry professionals, academicians,
researchers, and students who want to improve their understanding
of supply chain coordination in order to be competitive in the new
era of globalization.

Supply chains are complex systems, which include several
independent organizations with different objectives, in dynamic
uncertain environment. A key issue in supply chain management (SCM)
is the coordination of supply chain operations planning decisions.
In this book, we first review supply chain operations planning
coordination methods from centralized to decentralized approaches
proposed in the literature. Second, we propose a decentralized
operations planning coordination mechanism referred to as mutual
adjustment search (MAS), which is based on a negotiation-like
mutual adjustment of planning decisions with financial incentives
and rooted in mathematical programming. Finally, in order to
develop an approach capable of supporting the dynamic coordination
of operations planning in a rolling horizon context, this book
first proposes a negotiation strategy for the supplier, as well as
a revenue sharing protocol. Computational analysis shows that the
proposed approach produces a win-win strategy for two partners of
supply chain and improves the results of upstream planning.
