Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) is essential for aligning strategic plans with daily operations. However, the dynamic nature of modern Collaborative Network organizations presents challenges due to uncertainties and risks. This research aims to fill this gap by creating a maturity model to manage uncertainties in the S&OP process. A literature...
Demand forecasting is critical within collaborative networks, enabling suppliers,manufacturers, and retailers to synchronize their operations and achieve enhanced supply chain efficiency. Despite a wealth of research on time series forecast model selection and the availability of numerous forecast models, selecting the most appropriate model for a ...
The Circular Economy is one of the promising solutions to address environmental challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, pollution, and waste. However, the implementation of the Circular Economy remains limited due to economic and financial barriers. This paper proposes to overcome these barriers by designing a decision support syste...

Instability is the new normal for supply chain networks. In this context, the Adaptive Sales and Operations Planning (AS&OP) process proposed by the Demand-Driven Adaptive-Enterprise model aims to improve the way these supply chain networks manage volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environments. However, the process, as originally defined, ...
Bolivia, a megadiverse country, is home to over 410 species of pathogen-vector insects, including Culicidae (malaria and arbovirus vectors), Triatominae (Chagas disease vectors), and Phlebotominae (Leishmaniasis vectors). Despite extensive field data collection by government health agencies, much of this valuable data hasn't been preserved, either ...
This problem instance paper addresses the need for an industry wide modelling paradigm and language that allows theformalisation and representation of building knowledge by domain experts (architects, engineers). Herein, the special natureof the construction industry (e.g. its openness and semantics) in comparison to other industries and the comple...
A multitude of autonomous agents – encompassing a range of technologies, including robots and drones – represent a crucialmodern tool for the execution of a multitude of tasks, including surveillance, delivery and the saving of lives. In order tooptimally utilise these agents, it is vital to configure each agent, the composition of the entire fleet...
