Increasing globalization of the supply chains is making them increasingly vulnerable to various supply chain risks. Effective management of these risks is essential to prevent minor as well as major risks that may occur in day-to-day operations of the firm. In this paper an attempt is made to...

Urban logistics activities, while essential to the development of cities, also contribute to congestion and pollution if poorly managed. Synchronizing the last mile of delivery is critical, but challenging to implement. Collaboration between the stakeholders is thus needed and timely to improve...

Environmental sustainability is driving firms to extend their green effort across their supply chain. However, the literature has not thoroughly examined the multiple relationships among supply chain (SC) strategy, corporate environmental (CE) strategy, and firm performance. As such, this paper,...

The quay crane scheduling problem plays an important role in the paradigm of port container terminal management, due to the fact that it closely relates to vessel berthing time. In this paper, we focus on the study of a special strategy for the cluster-based quay crane scheduling problem that...

As the outsourcing of key supplies and business processes becomes increasingly popular, the effective management of the outsourced business functions is of critical importance in supply chain management. Instead of managing all supply chain activities by themselves, many firms have chosen to...

This paper proposes a new algorithm to solve nonsmooth multiobjective programming. The algorithm is a descent direction method to obtain the critical point (a necessary condition for Pareto optimality). We analyze both global and local convergence results under some assumptions. Numerical tests...

New results are established for multiobjective DC programs with infinite convex constraints (MOPIC) that are defined on Banach spaces (finite or infinite dimensional) with objectives given as the difference of convex functions. This class of problems can also be called multiobjective DC...
