... and transportation vehicles due to the unfixed shelf life of the products which is related to the temperature found by Arrhenius formula. Design/methodology/approach The authors use bi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear programming to design a four-echelon supply chain. The authors integrate the supply chain...

..., yet extremely fragmented body of knowledge. Although the logical quest for integration has been expressed by several authors, in most cases investigations focus only on details of M&As. The aim of this paper is to offer a different way of synthesis that allows testing well‐established theories...
