Reference Information: Mohami, Z., Aghmi, A., & Jolai, F. (2020). A green closed-loop supply chain design using a queuing system for reducing environmental impact and energy consumption. Journal of Cleaner Prction, 242, 118452. Retrieved from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/…

Purpose of Study: This artcle aims to study and bring out the knowledge of the reducing environmental effects formed by the impacts transport fleets because it has never been examined broadly in forward and reverse logistics suply chains. The article designs a green supply chain with both the forward and reverse logistic considerations to fill the gap that has never been investigated well. The article also uses the quuing system for optimization of the transport and waiting time of the fleets network.

Sampling Comments: Gren supply chains are one of the most efficient matters connected to the ecological effects, and a lot of researches have been done to confirm this (Mohtashami, Aghsami & Jolai, 2020). Transport flees move products within the logistic centers and are among the vital factors rising the environmental consequences when moving products between the centers and waiting in the loading queue (Mohtashami, Aghsami & Jolai, 2020).

Measures: Green supply chain managent mostly focuses on the environmental aspect of sustainability, which can be influential in achieving a worable supply chain.

Findings/Results/Main Points: For GAMS software, the amount of objective function equals 65.451. The objective function of the genetic system apprch is equal to 66.276. They are evaluating the model’s sensitivity to changes of parameter results to proper knowledge of its behavior. Sensitivity analysis is done for several transport fleets, and the objective function has rising behavior with an inease of fleets.

Conclusion: The contribuons that shall make the model real are presenting an all-inclusive model, green supply chain control, assumption of tranport fleets as clients to load the systems and using S seers for every individual loading system.

Reference Information: Scanzoni, John (2001). From the Normal Family to Alternate Families to the Quest for Diversity With Interdependence, Journal or Family Issues, vol. 22 No. 6, September 2001, 688­710.

Purpose of Study: To look at the changes and the diversity of the households from the late 1960’s to present, both from the constructionist and the functionalistic view. And figuring out which family style works the best to meet both the family and societies needs.

Sampling Comments: Otto (1970), “man can create marriage and family possibilities uniquely suited to his time, place and situation.” Sussman and Cogswell (1972) “…adults must live for themselves and not only for their children.” The standard family (nuclear) stifled mutual confidant between mates. Single parenting was viewed as a temporary condition, which would resolve when the parent remarried, thus it wasn’t seen as a “real” family.

Measures: The standard family (or nuclear family) was faired to the different variant families such as single parents, homosexual, multi­marriages, and getting pregnant out of wedlock. Scanzoni reviewed and summarized the functionalist and constructionalist models and theories starting from post World War II to the present.

Findings/Results/Main Points: Functionalists support the model that views a new standard family were previous traditional roles are in place while the children are young in order to promote optimal child development. Scanzoni’s research found that developmentalists believe that it is more the lifelong encounters between a child’s genetic makeup, personality and social context and not just the first few years of life. While the functionalists want to exclude the community, the constructionalists believe that the community makes the family. “Families are produced and created by the actions of persons operating within the social structure and cultural milieu that surrounds them (Maines, 2000).” They also believe that if the community views a groups as not mainstream than that group is likely not to succeed.

Conclusion: While one believes that negotiations build a stronger family and community the other does not believe in negotiation of any type. The citizens that feel the neostandard model is better state they would have a hard time fairing up. This self­doubt along with lack of support may stifle their innovations. Most citizens admit to wanting the neostandard model for themselves and their children but are willing to accept the reality of the variant family. “Because there is no best family pattern to stray from, there can be no variants that are invariably judged as lesser. Then and only then have we taken the first step toward embracing genuine diversity, (Scanzoni 1989).” To date there is no one household model that is flawless but household variety has been found to enrich the family. Household diversity with interdependence that builds a strong sense of community has been found to be healthy.

Sampling Comments: The lean and globalized structures of supply chains has made them prone to the pandemic. About 94% of the fortune 1000 companies have experienced coronavirus related disruptions to their supply chains (Fortune, 2020). When using a discrete-event simulation of Analogic, which was successfully applied to the supply chain risk and resilience analysis (Ivanov & Rozhov, 2019). A full set of technologies to build a digital supply chain uses a combination of simulation, optimization, and performance visualizations (Ivanov & Dolgui, 2020)

Measures: The paper uses a case study where a model is formulated. The model is of a global supply chain for a company selling lighting equipment of five different types.
