"This work encapsulates the essential developments in this field into a single resource, as well as to set an agenda for further development in the field. This brief focuses on the demand flexibility in supply chains with fragmented results distributed throughout the literature. These results have strong implications for managing real-world complex operations planning problems.This book exploits dimensions of demand flexibility in supply chains and characterizes the best fit between demand properties and operations capabilities and constraints. The origins and seminal works are traced in integrated demand and operations planning and an in-depth documentation is provided for the current state of the art. Systems with inherent costs and constraints that must respond to some set of demands at a minimum cost are examined. Crucial unanswered questions are explored and the high-value research directions are highlighted for both practice and for the development of new and interesting optimization models and algorithms."

"ABSTRACTIn this paper, we develop a four stage procedure for evaluating and improving a suppliers volume flexibility. In the first stage, we use historical demand data to develop a model for forecasting their future quantities. In the next stage, we develop an algorithm for smoothing the forecasted future demands. We show that applying this algorithm not only reduces production fluctuations and damages, but also improves the flexibility of the supplier and hence the overall supply chain. We investigate the economical conditions of applying this algorithm. In the third stage, by considering the forecasted future demands, we develop a mathematical single-period flexibility measure. In the fourth stage, the developed measure is extended to a multi period model for applying in the multi period supply collaborations and especially in the VMI systems. Furthermore, we consider weight coefficients for taking into account the different importance of flexibility from the buyers perspective over the time horizon. By applying in a real case study about an oil refinery, we verify the developed model and investigate the effects of its parameters through the sensitivity analysis."

"Customer demands for individual attention and specialized products are transforming commerce at every stage - including the supply chain. Today's highstakes economy requires dynamic, market-savvy sales and operations planning (S&OP) to keep pace with accelerating service demands and response times. It's not as daunting as it sounds with the tools, tips, and case studies in "The Market-Driven Supply Chain". This practical yet expansive book helps organizations transition from outdated supply-driven processes to new market-driven models. Readers learn how to: use robust analytics for conducting value segmentations and simulation analyses; develop a customer-centric culture and a collaborative organizational structure; and dynamically rebalance the inventory mix to improve capacity and reduce costs. Retool 26 management processes to achieve market-savvy S&OP Unlike other books that focus on only supply chain strategies or S&OP or lean manufacturing, this book's sophisticated approach unifies all three areas, and it's the only one to explain how to operate in today's on-demand environment."
