Research Interests
My research field is around supply chain systems modeling and optimization catered to the modern business environment. I have done a number of modeling works, covering various supply chain problems, such as (1) SCND works of forward and reverse supply chain, (2) green IRP model, and (3) competition model between remanufacturing systems. It should be noted that various supply chain systems formulated in these works involve the management of complex operations. In addition, results obtained from these works show that environmental policies and uncertain conditions could significantly cause different performance outcomes for the supply chain systems. Therefore, this has emphasized the need for comprehensive modeling and optimization methods that can be adjusted to various conditions. The right strategies, combined with the optimization of integrated decision-making (e.g., from strategic to operational decision levels), are necessary to deliver the best-practice solutions (e.g., the best-known alternatives for both economic and environmental performance), especially in the nowadays fast-paced business and advanced technological developments. Such modeling approaches will be crucial in facilitating sustainable supply chain development, transitioning the business model to the circular economy, and realizing environmental improvement goals, such as net-zero plans.

Research
Modeling of modern supply chain network using postponement concept Modern business traits have shaped companies’ reliance on the large and complex global supply chain network (SCN). To function properly, SCN has to perform responsive and efficient operations against risks of uncertain conditions while reducing carbon emission production. In addressing these issues, postponement strategies are adopted in SCN design modeling studies to (1) realize environmentally friendly SCN [1] and (2) enable responsive operations against uncertainty risks [2]. These studies mainly optimize the configuration of a globally dispersed multi-tier SCN and the multi-period operations planning, involving procurement, processing, and sales decisions. Computational examples of the notebook computer SCN show that the optimized SCN configuration with the right postponement strategies can reduce excess processes, lost sales, and deadstock, and increase inventory turnover rate, allowing more resilient SCN against uncertainty risks. Postponing product differentiation also reduces excessive processes and emissions, allowing an eco-efficient SCN that adheres to environmental policies.

Improvement of reverse supply chain system sustainability with postponement strategy Issues of resource depletion and waste piling have grown at an alarming rate, especially in the cases of product wastes with significant residual values. To address these issues, stakeholders have focused to develop a reverse supply chain (RSC) system that can sustain profitable takeback, reuse, and recycling operations in the long term. One way in realizing these capabilities is by incorporating postponement concepts into the integrated RSC network, allowing the delay of operations susceptible to demand uncertainty. Numerical examples of the notebook computer RSC demonstrate that utilizing the right operation postponement can increase the network’s flexibility, allowing better economic performances even under stricter environmental (product takeback) regulations. The better RSC management then can be used to improve waste management and support the sustainable supply chain system. References: Rau, Budiman, & Monteiro, 2021
