Vast industry like aerospace managing complex businesses expects disruption risks at every stage in Supply chain. In the paper, system oriented modeling approach is used to analyze the aerospace supply chain. A networked framework is designed using Parallel and Discrete event Simulation (PDS) for integrating local production system, production management and scheduling activities of multi-ownership aerospace supply chain to mitigate risks.

Supply chain partners started to realise that working in a collaborative way can offer them substantial gains. Literature suggests that there are many benefits for supply chain partners achieving supply chain collaboration. However, achieving supply chain collaboration with partners does not always have the expected benefits. There are a number of challenges mentioned in the literature as the drawbacks of collaboration. Also, enhancing collaboration levels in agricultural supply chains is seen as a source of competitiveness. This research aims to evaluate the impact of collaboration on the business performance of the fruit producers. Design/methodology/approach: The research is based on the analysis of key literature in order to explore the concept of supply chain collaboration in the a...

Thus, the research questions addressed in this research are as follows: 1) Is there a need to ensure visibility of risks across firms in a supply network and to develop a collaborative process to manage risks in the network? 2) What are the benefits and challenges associated with such a collaborative approach? 3) How do the supply network characteristics influence the need for ensuring visibility of risks and for developing a collaborative process to manage risks in a supply network? Design/methodology/approach: The objectives of the research are achieved by conducting rev...

In order to achieve a cross-functional understanding of the topics connected to supply chain food criminality academia and industry need to understand the landscape of research against common perceptions, in order to build robust frameworks that can work toward mitigating risk and building supply chain resilience. Further, the research will review how these topics pertaining to food crime and fraud are related to the softer side of human behaviour within supply chains and the potential effect this has on overall resililence. Research Approach: This research utilises a qualitative and quantitative methodology to explore the challenges faced by cross functional business operations in combating food crime and fraud. The methodology leverages a triangulation approach that provides a robust literature review pertaining to the research area, which is further c...

Empowering robotic technology to take control of the car, making calculated decisions and interrelating in real-time with the road traffic environment to heights unprecedented for humans, constitutes a decisive step towards transitioning to a new Artificial Intelligence-led transport paradigm. Despite a wide spectrum of potential traffic safety, economic, environmental, social inclusion, road space allocation and network performance benefits (many of them recorded by Fagnant and Kockelman, 2015; Nikitas, 2015; Nikitas and Nikitas, 2015; Thomopoulos and Givoni, 2015; Clark et al., 2016; Milakis et al., 2017; Nikitas et al., 2017a; Nikitas et al., 2017b) that make CAVs potentially an inescapable future direction for transport provision, the road...
