A Decision Making Model for the Evaluation of Supply Chain Execution and Management Systems

Abstract

A Supply Chain Execution and Management (SCEM) system is an enterprise application that integrates all of the necessary supply chain functions into a single system. These functions range from common ones such as warehouse and transportation management to less known ones such as demand management. In order to execute and manage the supply chain processes successfully, organisations need a comprehensive evaluation approach to determine the most suitable system. The evaluation of an SCEM system involves numerous decision making criteria. Moreover, it is usually characterised with uncertainty and vagueness since it is very difficult to rate SCEM system alternatives with exact terms. To cope with this problem, a fuzzy logic-based approach is developed in this study. This approach main integrates the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to weight the decision criteria and the Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution to rate alternatives. A real life example is provided to demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach.

Business model innovation canvas: a visual business model innovation model

“…In the past two years, more and more scholars have focused on sustainability, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, and Big Data with business model innovation (Dressler and Paunovic, 2020; Lindgren et al , 2019; Madsen, 2020; Minatogawa et al , 2020). Based on the previous research, whatever the concept of business model innovation, there is a general consensus that business model innovation often affects the whole enterprise (Amit and Christoph, 2001; Zhang et al , 2018), and it has become the core issue of the business model (Apak et al , 2013; Lindgren and Taran, 2011; Pedersen et al , 2018).…”

“…The Nash bargaining model [45] has been widely used in many fields [46][47][48], here we will use the Nash bargaining model to determine the proportion of profit sharing between the module manufacturer and From the equations (41) and (42), we can easily find the following implications 1) A member who has a stronger power than the other party will receive a larger proportion of the increased profits and vice versa;…”
