    In this research, we present a supporting tool for decision making by designing a distribution system for a trading company of supplies for the welding industry in Mexico. The case study encompasses a distribution system with shortage problems and poor fleet capacity. To address these problems, improvement options were grouped into three possible scenarios through a third-party logistics (3PL) service. Furthermore, for the evaluation and selection of one of the scenarios, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology was proposed integrating fuzzy logic as a tool for decision making, including factors of uncertainty and subjectivity as well as a comparison with traditional AHP obtaining the best scenario, meeting the requirements of the company, and showing potential improvements in the desired service level for its distribution system. © 2024 Springer Nature

    Modeling the Optimal Supply Chain of Liquefied Natural Gas as Fuel in Fishing Vessels in Mexico

    The global energy transition process has generated a set of modifications in the generation and consumption of energy. Environmental objectives have gained great relevance for regions, countries and companies. The fishing sector has been identified as having a broad environmental impact, which is why the transition to cleaner energy sources in this sector has been considered. One of the proposed strategies is based on the transition from the diesel engines of the ships to the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG), however, this transition requires guaranteeing the supply of fuel as well as the process of reconversion of units in operation and the impulse of LNG gas engines for new units. This work presents a proposal for the design of an LNG gas supply chain for the fishing industry in the State of Tampico in Mexico that allows evaluating the feasibility of the transition from the use of diesel to natural gas in fishing vessels. The main results show the feasibility of the transition in the fuel supply and economic and environmental benefits for the fishing industry. However, there is a significant challenge in converting units in operation to the use of natural gas due to the lack of public policies that promote and support its use in this sector. © Mobile Networks and Applications

    Structural Dynamics and disruption events in Supply Chains using Fat Tail Distributions
    (2019)
    ;
    Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio
    The analysis of structural dynamics in a supply chain requires robust methods for the modeling of disruption events that can be faced. Statistical modeling, the machine learning application and access to large amounts of data require much more realistic models to manage risk in the supply chain. This study proposes a statistical methodology for the modeling of disruption events in the supply chain with heavy tailed distributions, which will allow the construction of models more closely linked to reality for risk management in the supply chain. © 2019, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.

    Supply chain management has become an essential and integral part of business, it allows to reach out company’s success and customer satisfaction because it has the power to boost customer service, reduce operating costs and improve the financial standing of a company by keeping and improving competitive advantages. In the current market with a fiercer competition, shorter product life cycles, changes in technologies, and increasingly interconnected economies; supply chain management is boosted by means of mind-boggling technological innovations like Digital Twins and Agent-Based Model. Since supply chains are now building with increasingly complex and collaborative interdependencies, Agent-Based Models are an extremely useful tool when representing such relationships, to obtain a formal and more simplified description of a system (that can be as complex as the relationships between the agents of all the supply chain, from the supplier, the manufacturer, to the distributor of a product or service) and as an optimization technique for mitigation of risk. While Digital Twins are new solutions elements for enable real-time digital monitoring and control or an automatic decision maker with a higher efficiency and accuracy. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Design and Development of Digital Twins: a Case Study in Supply Chains
    (2020)
    Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio
    Digital twin technology consists of creating virtual replicas of objects or processes that simulate the behavior of their real counterparts. The objective is to analyze its effectiveness or behavior in certain cases to improve its effectiveness. Applied to products, machines and even complete business ecosystems, the digital twin model can reveal information from the past, optimize the present and even predict the future performance of the different areas analyzed. In the context of supply chains, digital twins are changing the way they do business, providing a range of options to facilitate collaborative environments and data-based decision making and making business processes more robust. This paper proposes the design and development of a digital twin for a case study of a pharmaceutical company. The technology used is based on simulators, solvers and data analytic tools that allow these functions to be connected in an integral interface for the company.

    Consumer Paradox: A Manifestation of Self-Concept in Activism in Response to Supply Chain Practices
    (2022)
    The effects of unethical and non-socially responsible organizational practices across supply chains have been hyper-normalized. For instance, the involvement of the private sector in modern day slavery, however alarming and unacceptable, is commonplace. Interestingly, consumers hold significant power to drive change. The question is, does consumer self-concept relate to consumer activism, and why is some consumers’ awareness of unethical practices insufficient to sway their purchase decision-making? A set of propositions were framed, and conceptual model was developed to analyze the relation among self-concept, consumer types as to social responsibility, and organizational practices across supply chains. The study contributes to the understanding of consumer behavior, particularly activism and conformism, regarding firm’s ethical behavior, social responsibility, and sustainability for purchase decision-making. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Digital Twins and Blockchain: Empowering the Supply Chain
    (2022)
    Aguilar Ramírez, José Eduardo

    Industry 4.0 is here, and it arrived with very promising new technologies that can foster he supply chain management across industries. In this paper we review multiple sources to identify the main characteristics of Digital Twins and Blockchain technologies and how they can work together to fulfill the needs of the supply chain. We identify some advantages and disadvantages that must be properly analyzed before adopting this approach into any business. Many applications behind these new benefits are still in development, but we believe these two technologies have great potential. © Springer Nature

    A deviation from planned processes reveals the consequences that a disruption can cause in any area, even more a disruption with Ripple Effect (RE), which implied for the global Supply Chain (SC) when depends essentially from the stakeholders in all levels and chains. The learnt lessons from these tragical events show that many companies could not assess the impact and its side effects, therefore they cannot respond adequately, prolonging the crisis and expanding the disruption. A disruption evaluation model would allow to know from the beginning the potential impact to check carefully into the critical events to provide the necessary resources to control it. Hence, it is relevant that SC managers know and employ the right tools to focus on the control and the solution; as well to evaluate the impact and the disruption criticality level to mitigate and control the impact with total certainty that the appropriate actions are being taken according to the problematic. © 2019, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.
