Boom, Marit (author)Lead time reduction of military supply chain (MSC) processes is essential for well-functioning military organisations. MSCs are complex and uncertain systems, including interdependencies between actors and processes. Flexibility is needed for MSCs to deal with complexity and uncertainty. Furthermore, reducing lead times contributes to the...master thesis 2023

Kemerink, Renk (author)Construction resource management in the Netherlands is causing environmental concerns due to a high demand for infrastructure maintenance and carbon/nitrogen emissions. Insufficient optimization of resource management between projects results in more traffic and higher energy demand, but measures such as linking projects, program management, and...master thesis 2023

Janssen, Jeroen (author)The European Union has set out to become carbon neutral by 2050. To reach this goal, the fossil-fuel-dominated energy system must be transformed into a low-carbon renewable-based energy system. One method proposed to reduce fossil-fuel dependence is to establish a renewable hydrogen supply chain between Africa and the European Union. This work...master thesis 2023

Ding, L. (author), Wang, T. (author), Chan, P.W.C. (author)To close the loop for the circular economy (CE) transition in the construction industry, forward logistics (FL) and reverse logistics (RL), as enabling operations for CE, are important topics to be addressed. However, current research mainly focuses on either FL or RL, with a lack of synthesis that presents an overview of the bi-directional...review 2023

Nurhayati, K. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Joint decision-making is one of the coordination mechanisms to address the inherent complexity of business-to-business (B2B) processes within a supply chain. Joint decision-making can be helpful to define shared goals and objectives, identify supply chain failures and opportunities, and consolidate supply chain success. Parties may benefit...journal article 2023

(author), Geurts, Marco (author), Sies, Maarten (author), Molenhuis, Marcel (author), Slegt, Micha (author), van Dijk, Dennis (author)Public value creation is traditionally considered as the citizens' collective expectations with respect to government and public services. Recent e-government literature indicates that what exactly constitutes public value in digital government is still debated. Whereas previous research acknowledges aspects such as co-production and the...journal article 2023

van der Klein, Michel (author), Verduijn, Thierry (author), van Duin, Ron (author)Technology provides offline and real-time visibility on the conditions of the cargo in the transport chain and creates opportunities to intervene in the supply chain execution to safeguard the quality of the products. However, end-to-end supply chain solutions to monitor and guarantee real-time product quality are lagging in implementation. The...conference paper 2023

Wang, Jiepeng (author), Zhou, Hong (author), Sun, Xinlei (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Due to the fact that there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how the dynamic nature of supply chain networks (SCNs) interrelates with network structures, particularly network topologies under disruptions. This research employs a novel evolving model of a supply chain network (SCNE model) by modifying the Barabási and Albert (BA)...journal article 2023

Ferguson, Thomas (author), Storm, S.T.H. (author)This article critically evaluates debates over the causes of U.S. inflation. We first show that claims that the Biden stimulus was the major cause of inflation are mistaken: the key data series—stimulus spending and inflation—move dramatically out of phase. While the first ebbs quickly, the second persistently surges. We then look at alternative...journal article 2023

Kheybari, Siamak (author), Davoodi Monfared, Mansoor (author), Salamirad, Amirhossein (author), Rezaei, J. (author)To design a bioethanol supply chain, along with the transportation and operational costs, it is vital to consider more factors categorized into three sustainability pillars (i.e. economy, social and environment). In this paper, to develop a mathematical model for bioethanol supply chain (BSC), we propose a two-phase methodology; in the first...journal article 2023

Koullapis, Kendeas (author)Over the last few years, the construction sector has experienced increasing demand for raw materials due to the rapid growth of the urban population. At the same time, most of the post-war buildings in Europe have reached the end of their service life. As a consequence, a period of intense demolition activities with<br/>significant waste...master thesis 2022
