Abstract: Recently, there have been significant development on e-business and nearly all business partners try to offer their products and services via internet. One primary question for the implementation of e-business is to measure the effect of this new facility on supply chain in project based organizations. Although e-business may not directly influence on organizational performance, it definitely influences on unifying customers and suppliers, which yields to a better performance of organizations. This study performs a study to measure the indirect effect of e-business on project based organizational performance. The proposed study of this paper designs a questionnaire and distributes it among 140 professional experts in different industries in province of Ontario, Canada. The survey examines different hypotheses for a possible correlation between e-business and integrated suppliers, e-business and customers, integrated customers and suppliers with organizational performance. The results of this survey indicate a positive relationship between all these components either directly or indirectly.

Abstract: The objective of the present study is to determine the start times and ordering plans for two-period projects in project-oriented organizations. The following assumptions are made: orders can be placed in either of a project’s two consecutive periods; and the same raw materials are used, which are ordered at the start of the periods according to their interdependent demands. The main innovation of the present research is to develop a model that is mainly based on the two-period newsvendor problem, but assumes that demand is interdependent, i.e. it is actually a combination of inventory and project management. After presenting the model, numerical meth-ods are used to approximate the order quantities for each period. Near-optimal solutions of a numerical example, in a case study on molding industry, are obtained using a genetic algorithm. Results show that the proposed model with interdependent demand provides a better solution than independent demand. The model is applicable to large-scale industrial and construction pro-jects where the majority of raw materials have of the same nature.
