... to incorporate circular economy (CE) principles in PSC. This study proposed two strategies; one to sort and supply and the other to sort, supply and resell. The reuse policy improves humanitarian organisations' finances in the simulation study. This study verified the operational improvement of PSC by reducing...

... product attributes and inventory information. Design/methodology/approach A store inventory error profile is developed using data on price, sales, popularity, replenishment cycle, inventory levels and inventory errors. A simulation model of store inventory management system grounded in empirical data...

... differentiation and item group-level performance effects. Due to the lack of analytical relationships between the two methods, the analysis is based on event-driven simulations. Data are collected from eight different case companies. Findings explain the importance of assessing safety stock performance...

... the complexity of such systems, there are divergent goals of process cost optimization and of food quality and safety preservation. These goals deserve integration at both an operational and a strategic decisional perspective. The twofold purpose of this paper is to design a simulation model for food job-shop...

... and weekly sailings, and analysed the impact of variability on these on the shipper's inventory management system. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted simulation modelling of the above variables, and supplemented these by means of interviews with executives in a number of liner operators...

... a simulation tool. A range of scenarios are designed based on realistic cases considering the stochastic and dynamic nature of liner services. A comprehensive set of simulation experiments are conducted and analysed; and the relative merits and suitability of the repositioning policies are identified...

...Sarah Jinhui Wu; David J. Closs Purpose The purpose of this research is to apply a simulation experiment to investigate the impact of new components purchasing and used components recovery strategies on multiple performance measures. The research compares the effectiveness of these strategies...

...Matthew A. Waller; Heather Nachtmann; Justin Hunter Purpose This research aims to consider the impact of common inventory system inaccuracies that occur in retail outlets on the inventory levels, fill rate, and service level of those outlets by simulating daily customer demand and random error...

...Benita M. Beamon; Stephen A. Kotleba Purpose To develop and test three different inventory management strategies as applied to the complex emergency in south Sudan. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative modeling, simulation, and statistics. Findings This research identified critical...
