Key Factors in the Successful Integration of the Circular Economy Approach in the Industry of Non-durable Goods: A Literature Review

2022 , Jacinto-Cruz, Marcos , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio

Nowadays consumers are more informed about the characteristics of the products they are buying and the services they are using as well as their respective environmental impacts. The nondurable goods industry is the closest to consumers in everyday life, therefore awareness of the environmental impacts of these products has gained greater attention from consumers. In response to increased consumer demand for environmental attributes, the nondurable goods industry has begun to apply circular economy guidelines in its supply chain, in addition to complying with new environmental regulations in various countries. This research addresses a literature review to identify the key factors that allow the correct implementation of the circular economy approach in the non-durable goods industry. Among the main factors identified are the voice of the customer, the traceability and collection of empty containers, as well as and efficient international environmental regulation. © Springer Nature

Technical evaluation of the opening of facilities in the pharmaceutical industry: optimization to supply chain in Mexico

2019 , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román , Manuell-Barrera, Ofelia S. G.

The pharmaceutical industry is going through a difficult time in Mexico. Despite all the advances and improvements in the methods of production, storage and distribution, many pharmaceutical companies still struggle to meet market demand effectively and consistently. The risks faced by the supply chain of the pharmaceutical industry are diverse and typical of an industry dedicated to health care. So, the location to locate new facilities includes several strategic and tactical decisions that must consider aspects of production, distribution, material flow, optimal inventory, the perishability of products, safety, among other factors. The application of robust hybrid models will allow obtaining the best solutions, taking into account the network optimization, greenfield analysis and risk scenarios. This paper presents a case study for a pharmaceutical company that operates in Mexico and plans to expand its operations seeking the optimal operation of the supply chain. The inherent risks to a supply chain of pharmaceutical products, different scenarios and parameters were considered, which will allow making decisions based on technical evidence in order to improve the performance of the company. Modelling the expansion of operations and the performance of the supply chain was carried out using the specialized software Anylogistix. © 2019, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.

A Timetabling Application for the Assignment of School Classrooms

2019 , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román

In this manuscript a group of students from an university of Mexico develop a user-friendly university timetabling tool based on a spreadsheet and using Open-Solve optimization software. The developed tool uses 0–1 integer programming to maximize the number of classes with their respective teacher allocated to a classroom in a certain time schedule. It does not solve only one specific case, the user can introduce each semester’s specific information to the spreadsheet and the tool will automatically generate a schedule that maximizes the number of classes assigned using the given time and classroom resources. Each semester the available times and the teacher can be changed for each class according to the needs for that specific semester. The user does not need to be someone who understands linear programming. The tool is developed on a user-friendly way so that the staff of the school can use it without help from the developers. In this paper we will show how this tool was developed for a smaller example and how it works with a real case. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

The supply chain event management application: a case study

2019 , Palma, Fanny , Saucedo, Jania A. , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román

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.

Estimation of Electricity Prices in the Mexican Market

2019 , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Vasant, Pandian

This paper presents an alpha stable regression model to estimate prices in the Mexican Electric Market. This market began operations in February 2016. The observed prices show great fluctuations in the observed data due to diverse aspects, a seasonality of the demand, the availability of fuel and the problems of congestion in the electrical network. It is relevant in a market context to have a price estimation as accurate as possible for the decision making of supply and demand. This paper proposes a methodology of the price estimation through the application of stable alpha regressions, since the behavior of the electric market has shown the presence of heavy tails in its price distribution. © Springer Nature
