4 - A Data Driven Approach To Managing Food Safety In Global
Supply Chains
Amine Anoun, PhD Student, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, 273 Cardinal Medeiros Ave, Apt 2, Cambridge, MA,
02141, United States,
Economically motivated adulteration poses a serious threat to public health.
Prevention is achieved by sampling food shipments. However, the sampling
resources are limited. In an effort to mitigate risk in the shipping supply chains,
we develop a data-driven approach to identify risky manufacturers. We obtained
over 850,000 shipment records of shrimp to the U.S. from the FDA. We
determine structural features of shipping supply chains that correlate with risk of
adulteration, at the global scale and in China. We use a Bayesian approach to
model both the risk of adulteration, and the sampling procedure of the FDA, and
show that our model predicts high risk manufacturers with high accuracy.
5 - Humanitarian Medical Supply Chain In Disaster Response:
Role And Challenges
Irina Dolinskaya, Northwestern University, 2145 Sheridan Road,
Tech Institute, M235, Evanston, IL, 60208-3119, United States,
, Maria Besiou, Sara Guerrero-Garcia
In this talk we study the humanitarian medical supply chain (HMSC) aspect of
disaster response. More specifically, we describe HMSC in the case of disaster
response, and identify the challenges encountered in the setting, especially
focusing on the challenges that are unique to medical aspect of the humanitarian
supply chain.

1 - Dynamic Eco-efficiency Assessment For Supplier Selection
And Monitoring
Aineth Torres-Ruiz, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Guadalajara,
Mexico,
In this study, we propose a methodology that integrates multiple factors into a
single performance measure to allow a more complete evaluation of supplier eco-
efficiency. Particularly, our model investigates the joint application of Data
Envelopment Analyses (DEA) and Malmquist analyses for supplier evaluation,
selection and monitoring of actual supplier progress. Single and multiple sourcing
strategies are applied and goal programming is used in the allocation of orders to
integrate different preferences for budget and eco-efficiency performance targets.
For illustrative purposes, we have applied our methodology to an autoparts
manufacturer located in central Mexico.
2 - Research In Corporate Social Responsibility:
A Bibliometric Analysis
Jose M. Merigo, University of Chile, Av. Diagonal Paraguay 257,

Leslier Valenzuela
This study develops a bibliometric analysis of the research carried out in corporate
social responsibility (CSR) during the last twenty-five years. The aim of the article
is to identify and analyze the most productive and influential journals where CSR
is published. The work presents a general overview of the leading journals, a
temporal classification and the citation structure of these journals. The study also
maps the bibliographic material through the VOS viewer software developing
bibliographic coupling and co-citation of journals in CSR. The Journal of Business
Ethics is the most active journal in this field although the Academy of
Management Review is the most influential one.
3 - How Social Image Investment Pays Off In A Supply Chain

In a mature consumer market, the social image of a company plays, as well, a
more and more important role in developing or maintaining the competitive
edge. This paper studies the pricing and sourcing choices in a two-echelon supply
chain selling a procure-to-stock product to a price-sensitive and social welfare
conscious market. We illustrate the significance of the social image in a company’s
sourcing decision.
4 - A Model For Integrating Remanufacturing And Product Service
System (PSS) During Product Development Stage
Johnson Adebayo Fadeyi, Wayne State University, 690 Martin
Luther King Jr. Blvd-Apt 2005, Detroit, MI, 48201, United States,
, Leslie Monplaisir
Remanufacturing has been identified as the most viable strategy among the
product end-of-life (EOL) management approaches. However, over 80% of
manufactured products currently end up as wastes. Meanwhile, some of the
bottlenecks of product remanufacturing could be remedied by PSS. Therefore, the
integration of remanufacturing and PSS is an improved product offering. The
factors that are most critical for the success of remanufacturing and PSS have
been identified. In this work, two essential criteria-core cleaning operations and
product serviceability are considered. These criteria are optimized to make
improved product modularity decisions during product development.
5 - Environmentally Friendly Car Purchase Intention In
The United States
Lu Xu, MBA, Doctoral Student, UNT, 1307 West Highland Street,

Victor R Prybutok
The purpose of this study is to incorporate self-image and quality with individual
environmental awareness to assess the impact on the consumers’ intention of
purchasing the environmental friendly car. Does individual environmental
awareness has some role when formatting purchase intention? Partial least
squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) allowed testing the posited
model and associated hypotheses.

1 - End-of-life Inventory Control Of Aircraft Spare Parts Under
Performance Based Logistics Environment
Mansik Hur, Visiting Researcher, The University of Alabama,
Tuscaloosa, AL, 35487, United States, ,
Burcu Keskin, Charles Schmidt
We consider an inventory control problem of aircraft spare parts during the end-
of-life (EOL) phase of fleet operation. An algorithm computes optimal stock levels
according to aircraft availability over the EOL period under a budget constraint,
which is a common scenario in PBL environment. As opposed to the previous
research, we take a ‘system approach’ by incorporating the aircraft availability in
simultaneously determining final order sizes of multiple items. The optimization
algorithm is applied to the operational data of an F-16 aircraft systems in Korea
Air Force and finds optimal stock levels for given budget level with reasonable
accuracy and in reasonable amount of time.
2 - Game-Theoretic Models For Locating Camera Towers In Urban
Areas And Scheduling Surveillance
Javier Salmeron, Naval Postgraduate School, Operations Research
Dept, Monterey, CA, 93943, United States, ,
Kevin Wood
We develop optimization models for location of tower cameras and surveillance
scheduling used by a military force in an urban setting. With a game-theoretic
foundation we seek to minimize the worst-case expected damage from
undetected events. A mixed-integer program approximates detection probability;
then, column generation creates an implementable distribution of camera
assignments, making the approximation exact. Realistically sized computations
find high-quality solutions quickly in most cases. An alternative game-theoretic
model may produce better solutions when limitations arise.
3 - Air And Missile Defense Integration Challenges
George E Mayernik, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems,

Christopher M Menard
Many allied countries are in the process of defense modernization. A top priority
is expanding Air and Missile Defense capability, and incorporation of the new
systems into the military force structure which involves many integration
challenges. Some key integration categories and challenges are: Technical &
Interoperability, Organizational & Force Structure, Operations & Sustainment,
and Programmatic. This paper provides some potential integration solutions,
however is more intended to stimulate discussion that will benefit the planning
needed to guide deployment.
