A comparative study was used to outline the literature in the research topic. This paper aims to present a bibliometric study of multi-criteria decision-making methods most applied in publications from 1990 to 2014. Our research presented relations of papers published in the Web of Science Core Collection, regarding the following keywords: Analytic Hierarchy Process and Supply Chain. The research evidenced that the Analytic Hierarchy Process has been the method most applied in publications from 1993. It also showed the analysis of the predecessor and successor citation network for the selected publications under topics as supplier selection, supply development, performance measurement and value chain through the CitNetExplore software.
Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is an important issue for organizations that spend considerable amounts of investments on personnel training annually. Although these investments present positive effects, the manner to assess the effectiveness of the training is unclear. Training, whose characteristics are intangible, is sometimes difficult to be assessed. This research has carried out a multi-criteria training assessment for GSCM through the four top-level processes of Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR) i.e., Plan, Source, Make and Deliver. Analytic Hierarchy Process was applied in the training assessment. In the chemical industry where our study was performed, the SCOR top-level processes were considered criteria, whereas Individual and Organizational Benefits alternatives. The modeling considered pairwise judgments for criteria, and ratings or absolute measure for alternatives. The analysis revealed that training essentially contributes to the organization, resulting in 87% for Organizational Benefits, and 77% for Individual Benefits. Organizational Benefits focused on the use of the best practices in GSCM and on the common understanding of vocabulary and processes. In addition, Individual Benefits increased knowledge and skills in GSCM. This result, presented to managers of the company, was validated as consistent and feasible.
Resource allocation R" and supplier selection SS are two major decision problems regarding supply chain management SCM . " supply chain manager may solve these problems by considering a single criterion, for instance, costs, customer satisfaction, or delivery time. "pplying analytic hierarchy process "HP , the supply chain manager may combine such criteria to enhance a compromised solution. This chapter presents "HP applications to solve two real SCM problems faced by "razilian companies one problem regarding the R" in the automotive industry and another one to SS in a chemical corporation.
The benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks (BOCR) model is a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model used to elicit a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive set of criteria. As an acronym proposed in the theory of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the BOCR model has received attention from users of this MCDM method. A state-of-the-art review, an approach to a literature review that is more comprehensive than a rapid review but not as exhaustive as a systematic literature review, was performed with the Scopus database. The overwhelming majority of documents found on BOCR were practical applications, but they were from diverse areas, including business, computer science, and engineering. It is proposed that two main kinds of contributions for future research on BOCR should be methodological and practical.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prioritization of Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) logistics projects in a developing economy. This paper adopts a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method to assess RFID logistics projects. The study examines the use of RFID in the Brazilian aerospace industry and contributes to both the RFID and MDCA literature. The main contribution of this article is to present RFID applications in industrial processes and their strategic approaches, seeking to improve the efficiency, flexibility and the inventory visibility. The approach proposed a decision process to assess RFID logistics projects in the Brazilian aeronautics industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
