Relief Supply Chain

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a framework for the development of relief supply chain systems. An illustrative case study is presented in order to help relief supply chain decision makers in their relief supply chain planning process. Developing simulation models to test proposed relief supply chain response plans is much less risky than actually waiting for another disaster to happen and test the proposed relief supply chain model in a real life situation. The simulated outcome can then be used to refine the developed relief supply chain response model.

Supply Chain Model

This paper presents issues critical to the development and successful implementation of computer simulation models for ship component manufacturing within a naval shipyard environment. More specifically, it addresses the need for a supply chain approach to developing simulation models for use as a management tool. The problem domain is the naval shipbuilding industry, which is different from industries associated with traditional manufacturing. Due to the tremendous number of components associated with naval warship construction and the extreme length of the build cycle, managing such an enterprise presents a formidable challenge. As Northrop Grumman Newport News strives to be a lean enterprise, managers will need new tools to address the lean initiatives of the many shops and construction areas within their domain. In this paper, it is suggested that the application of computer simulation using a component supply chain approach could provide management with a powerful tool to improve efficiency. A three-phased approach for the development of an enterprise supply chain model is presented. In the first phase, individual simulation models are developed for manufacturing and material support functions. The second phase addresses the linking of the models into small model networks. In the third phase, additional models are developed and more sophisticated networking strategies are utilized.

The Impact

Supply chain performance is highly influenced by the coordination level between its members, which needs information sharing. In this paper we consider a three-echelon direct sell supply chain model and focus on the problem of coordinated decision-making between its members. Our contribution is a first approach that measures the impact of the degree of coordination between the members. Demand behavior is modeled using a geometric Brownian process. Simulation models are run in order to analyze various cooperation scenarios. Our results show a direct relation between the degree of coordination within the supply chain and the total system cost. Although this result is intuitive, our simulations allowed us to quantify such a relation and in which measure these costs are whether or not associated to imperfect coordination.

Information Supply Chain

This chapter addresses the development of the information industry from the invention of the printing press to the present, using the publication and use of scientific journals as an illustrative case. For centuries after the first scientific journal was published in 1665, publication followed a relatively simple information supply chain model. In the late twentieth century, the information supply chain model changed rapidly and became far more complex. The growth of data and databases, university infrastructure spending, database directory production, and researchers’ information search patterns are identified as primary reasons for large-scale changes to the information supply chain. Examination of these four factors reveals current user needs that will drive innovation in the information industry.

This article aims at developing a new ontology for healthcare systems (HS) simulation. The ontology includes various classes that represent major components of HS simulation and their relationships as an integrated whole. It is formally expressed using system entity structure language with links to basic models developed in various formalisms and stored in a model base repository. Entities are mapped into web ontology language (OWL) classes and can be visualized in Protégée and queried with SPARQL. Classes are built based on agreed-upon concepts in HS simulation domain and serve to document and formalize knowledge while providing notable benefits such as common representation of healthcare models from different simulation platforms, model reuse, querying simulation models, and browsing. The paper also presents an illustrative case study to showcase the use of the ontology while capturing successfully within its scope an outbreak of cholera disease and its mitigation plan.

In this chapter, the authors present an intelligent simulation system for supply chain event management for the purpose of designing and re-engineering the supply chain. The simulation framework mainly composes of component layer, process layer, intelligent execution layer, and output layer. The functional design of the layers is discussed with comments on the contribution of the simulation. Implementation issues are further addressed and an illustrative case study is reported.

Definition Of

This article evaluates the utilisation of fantasy in the contemporary, mainstream biopic as evidence for deconstruction from the classical generic form. By using Miss Potter (2006) as an illustrative case study, this paper interrogates the inclusion of fantasy in relation to wider trends in the biopic’s development. Drawing on James Walters’ definition of ‘interior fantasy’, I examine the representation of ‘real’ animated characters in Miss Potter that the central protagonist both talks to and interacts with. Through a combination of narrative and production analysis, I explore how and why fantasy elements are included in a film which, in all other aspects, represents a realist, albeit dramatised, depiction of the well-known British author Beatrix Potter. Central to this is a consideration of whether the use of fantasy conflicts with historical accuracy and factual account in portraying the subject’s ‘real-life’ story. It finds that the ‘interior fantasy’ as seen in Miss Potter ultimately represents an extension of the formal components typically associated with the biopic. More broadly, this article contributes to recent, revisionist critiques, by assessing the deconstructive tendencies of the modern mainstream biopic and re-considering its place within contemporary cinema.
