Nowadays, stock management became a strategic decision used by organizations due to the high impact it has on the overall performance of supply chains. This paper evaluates the impact of the implementation of a R, S inventory policy in the finances of a distribution network. The research involves the functioning of a hardware supply chain conformed by a retailer and a manufacturer, which is simulated trough system dynamics. The main results of the study validate the positive impact that the policy about network liquidity have. Likewise, it is possible to determine the dominance of parameters such as demand, the review period and the maximum production capacity over the overall performance of the system.

The restrictions of installed capacity and distribution resources to which medium and large manufacturing companies are normally subject, make it necessary to establish methods that serve as a tool to make decisions regarding the prioritization of each of their warehouses at the time of supplying them. the importance that the distribution center assigns to each of these, is closely related to the conditions and particularities that characterize them, being these factors of a qualitative, quantitative or a mixture between the two. This article presents a fuzzy QFD multi-criteria method which, in addition to using quantitative variables to establish the order of dispatch of the finished product, considers qualitative variables, the result of the opinions that experts can offer about the particular situations of each winery by means of linguistic variables that are finally quantified through fuzzy triangular numbers.

In this research a methodology based on multi-criteria decision analysis for the evaluation and selection of infrastructure energy smart metering in the Colombian context is presented. The selection process of these measurement infrastructures covers additional technical and financial criteria, becoming a complex problem. The methodology used in this work is the technique called Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) that considers seven assessment criteria (Technology, Finance, Environmental, Regulatory, Political, Infrastructure and Socio- Cultural). Of these assessment criteria, emerge 25 sub-criteria, which are integrated in a hierarchical structure to evaluate three energy smart metering alternatives. Nine experts were consulted to obtain the results. The results show the versatility of AHP method for making complex decisions with respect to the implementation of energy smart metering infrastructure, and provide a useful guide for assessing Smart Grid projects through multi-criteria analysis.

This paper propose an additional plan of production in a Company, including employees in a handicap condition, which will count with different times to execute the different tasks and sometimes incompatible in specific activities. The Model of mixed integer linear programming seeks to maximize production as well as the respective cash flow. The tributary benefits of the Colombian government associated to the inclusion of handicap condition personnel, are considered for the model. The Model is validated with a case study.

The supplier performance measurement is a very important aspect in the supplier management because which is defined if they are complying or not contractual arrangements and if complying with the parameters of performance expected for the successful the company's operations. Additionally, as a result of the evaluation can be defined improvement plans and strategies for negotiating with suppliers, which aims to ensure the successful operation of the firm. In this paper we propose a model designed for evaluating suplier performance, using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which has proven be effective tool to make a multicriterion decision. We show principals results of this application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a system dynamics model which evaluates the environmental impact caused by the reverse logistics of car tires. System dynamics is used to explain the behavior of the emissions generated by four processes, the production of new tires, retreading, mechanical crushing and co-processing, the last three refer to processes where you can use the tires once these become waste. The environmental impact of reverse logistics network allows the analysis of different environmental variables that characterize the system, among which are the carbon dioxide emissions, oil consumption and water consumption. Different scenarios are also analyzed to evaluate the sensitivity of the proposed model and identify the disposal that generate more and less contamination, as well as to recognize the production process that reduces emissions.
