Proposing a Tool for Supply Chain Configuration: An Application to Customised Production

The full implementation of collaborative production networks is crucial for companies willing to respond to consumer demand strongly focused on product customisation. This chapter proposes an approach to evaluate the performance of different Supply Chain (SC) configurations in a customised production context. The model is based on discrete-event simulation and is applied to the case of supply chain in the fashion sector to support the comparison between mass and customised production. A prototype web-based interface is also developed and proposed to facilitate the use of the model not only for experts in simulation but for any user in the SC management field

Income inequality: should we worry about global trends

Neoclassical economics has long neglected the subject of income inequality, as compared to poverty and economic growth. This neglect has multiple motivations, but the bottom line is well expressed by Willem Buiter (2007), former professor of European Economics at the London School of Economics and currently chief economist of the Citigroup banking conglomerate: ‘Poverty bothers me

A method to select a successful interoperability solution through a simulation approach

(2) Evaluating the accessibility of each project regarding the current state of the organizationEnterprise applications and software systems need to be interoperable in order to achieve seamless business across organizational boundaries and thus realize virtual networked organizations. Our proposition can be considered as an interoperability project selection approach and is based on three steps: (1) Modelling both collaborative business processes and potential related interoperability project
