Development of an information fractal to optimise inventory in the supply network

Abstract: The aim of this research paper is to develop a new conceptual framework for an information fractal to optimise inventory including safety stock, cycle stock and prevent stock out at lowest logistics cost and further enhance integration within the network. The proposed framework consists of two levels; top and bottom level fractals. Fractals in the bottom level analyse demand, optimise safety stock and then transmit output to the top level fractal. Fractals in the top level investigate different replenishment f… Show more

“…Moreover, these studies appear at different levels of analysis, including internal analysis, dyadic level, and chain level. Despite the diversity of methods and levels of analysis, and due to the nature of research in this cluster, the majority of studies develop an analytical model for developing a response to achieve local improvements and optimums (Saad and Bahadori 2018).…”

“…Kleinikkink and Noori (2013) introduced and implemented a model based on the fractal concept to develop and increase manufacturing agility attributes and to quicken responses to uncertainty. Saad and Bahadori (2018) developed a new conceptual framework for an information fractal to optimise inventory including safety stock, cycle stock and prevent stock out at lowest logistics cost and further enhance integration within the network.…”
