Life expectancy rates have increased substantially in Ireland in recent years, driven mainly by reductions in mortality rates at older ages. Accordingly, Ireland has seen large increases in its older population, and along with this increasing demand for health and social care services,...

To ensure security of supply in the power sector, many countries are already using or discussing the introduction of capacity mechanisms. Two main types of such mechanisms include capacity markets and capacity reserves. Simultaneously, the expansion of variable renewable energy sources increases...

Die Energiewende in Deutschland schreitet voran. Erneuerbare Energien decken bereits mehr als die Hälfte der deutschen Stromnachfrage. Allerdings nehmen mit steigenden Anteilen der fluktuierenden Wind- und Solarenergie auch die Schwankungen in der Stromerzeugung zu. Flexibilität auf der...

Purpose: Although the authors of the Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) argue that the method DDMRP is the solution to the limitations of traditional production management methods, its capacity management system remains unclear. Since DDMRP operates at infinite capacity, it is...

Purpose: This research develops a model integrating inventory with order pick-up that considers both the vendor's capacities and the pick-up time for the multi-vendor single-buyer (MVSB) system. Design/methodology/approach: A model of integrating inventory with pick-up of order considering both...

Background: The capacity planning of production systems is one of the most fundamental strategic problems in the creation of a production plant. However, the implementation of increasingly complex production systems combined with sophisticated automated material handling justifies the...

Online restaurant aggregators, which connect diners with restaurants and organize the delivery of ordered meals, have experienced significant growth in recent years. Meal delivery logistics is quite challenging, primarily due to the difficulty in managing the supply of delivery resources, i.e.,...

One objective of retail electricity markets is to enable end-use consumers to incorporate their reliability preferences into their purchasing decisions. This paper investigates if and how this can be done in electricity markets with a capacity requirement. It integrates the standard loss of load...

The aim of this bibliometric study is to examine carbon transparency within global supply chains and the mediating roles of institutional and innovative capacities. The study retrieved 116 documents from Scopus and Web of Science databases for the period 2001-2023. The study unveils three...
