    Whilst enormous research effort in project fast-tracking determine the efficacy of specific methods and policies that would guarantee strict compliance with project programs, less have been reported on combining existing models for improved performance opportunities. In this paper, the task of presenting a composite model for large project cost-time trade-offs and duration fast-tracking is undertaken. The methodological procedures followed in formulating the models were carefully delineated and the proposed models validated using a real-life example. The optimal crash time obtained was in total acquiescence with all the problem constraints. The results show that a composite project crashing model can be very useful in achieving optimal values of important variables regarding fast-tracking.

    The paper proposes a two-stage approach that combines data mining and complex network theory to optimize the locations and service areas of dry ports in a large-scale inland transportation system. In the first stage, candidate locations of dry ports are weighted based on their eigenvector centrality in the complex network of association rules mined from a large amount of international transaction data. In the second phrase, dry port locations and their service areas are optimized using the gravity-based community structure. The method is validated in a real case study optimizing a large-scale dry port network in Mainland China in the context of the Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI). A real-world database of Alibaba transactions between China and other BRI countries is collected for association rule mining to represent international purchasing patterns. The result shows that our proposed model is able to provide realistic and applicable solutions for dry port developments, since it accurately pinpoints key locations in the real BRI development plans.

  3. A Deteriorating Inventory Model with Limited Vehicle Capacity, Stock Dependent Demand and Unavailability Supply

    Inventory model is one research topic that has been given attention intensively in the supply chain. There are two main costs for inventory, which are transport cost and inventory cost. Therefore, some buyers would like to apply a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) system where vendors handle the transportation and manage stocks at the buyer’s hand. The problem is complex for some items, such as fruits and vegetables, in which the items deteriorate. The need for fruits and vegetables tends to be higher as the stock is high. Deteriorating inventory models have been developed in many years, however, only a few models considering vehicle capacity, carbon emission, deteriorating items, stock dependent demand, and unavailability supply. In this study, a deteriorating inventory model for multi items in one distribution with stock dependent demand is improved. On the other hand, fruits and vegetable stock are not consistently available, so lost sales costs should be examined. Environmental issues have been studied by many researchers. Therefore, we further consider the carbon emission yield in this model. Since the closed-loop solution can not be obtained, we employ a simple heuristic solution in Maple. A sensitivity analysis is employed to obtain some management insight. The sensitivity analysis indicates that the carbon emission tax rate can encourage decision-makers to increase order quantity and reduce carbon emission, but the policy should deal with many features that are recognized by decision-makers to make it useful.

    The purpose of this paper is to present a systems based framework for organizational change initiatives in order to help organizations plan, prioritize and better implement change initiatives. Our framework is based on a synthesis of existing literature and an Action Research (AR) study. The AR study originated in the idea to develop a performance measurement system to measure all the steps (divided into sub-steps) in change projects from start to finish in a longitudinal study. Over more than two years, we followed and actively contributed to the developments in two separate, major transportation related infrastructure change projects in the same case organization. The results include not only a performance measurement system for change initiatives, concrete practical results for the case organization, but also “higher level learning” in the form of a systems based framework for understanding organizational change. The framework includes criteria for change management success, with a specific focus on the need for a clear and jointly accepted purpose. Furthermore, these criteria cannot be studied in isolation and thus a systems based approach is required.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410191
    Risk management gained more attention in the Egyptian market after the political events in January 2011. More businesses now consider risk management a priority, especially that the Egyptian market over the years experienced several political, economic and environmental shocks that negatively affected its operations. Logistics being part of the supply chain, is a critical link that is vulnerable to any unexpected changes that could result in loss of money and goods. Therefore, this research examines the risks associated with logistics services provided for container shipping in the Egyptian market. The research addresses the risk factors linked to the provision of logistics services from both the providers’ and the customers’ perspectives. This is a case study in which interviews and surveys were deployed to identify risk factors, examine its consequences, rank them using risk mapping and examine the correlation. The study classified the risk factors into categories and examined the perspectives of both providers and customers. The results showed strong positive relationship between risk likelihood and risk consequences for both the logistics service companies and the customer companies.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410153
    Supply chains strive to improve their visibility levels. For a supply chain, visibility is ability to see clearly from one end of the supply chain to another whilst sharing information across the chain. Visibility performance is achieved principally through improved integration of quality information, coordination of supply chain relationships, bullwhip effect reduction, and enhancement of technological and management capabilities. These factors are important in supply chain visibility assessments. With the increasing need for supply chains to be sustainable, it is imperative that sustainability associated factors are accounted for in supply chain visibility assessments. Accounting for sustainability in the assessment requires integration of factors associated with compliance of green practices embracing environmental, social and economic considerations across products and services life cycle. This paper examines ways of consolidating assessments of supply chain visibility by accounting for sustainability. Following a review of related work, an analysis of sustainability measures in supply chain visibility assessment methods is presented. An integration of a notion of green absorption capacity in supply chain visibility assessments is then suggested and the associated benefits is discussed.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410231
    A key consideration in innovation deployment processes in manufacturing is ensuring that the intended deployment will run smoothly and relatively problem free. This consideration can be in the form of deployment readiness assessment and review. This paper presents an approach to deployment readiness review in manufacturing with a focus on process innovation implementation. In the context of this paper, deployment readiness review is an appraisal conducted to determine if an acceptable state of preparedness has been attained for implementation of a manufacturing process innovation into a target environment. It is a form of quality control and the outcome will often be a go/no go decision with recommendations. Following a review of literature, an approach to deployment readiness review that encompasses three main phases is suggested: a) initiation of the review process, b) deployment readiness deliberation and assessment, and c) feedback and follow-up. Central to the initiation of the deployment review phase is ensuring that the pre-requisites for the review are met, including a deployment readiness review plan, selection of the review panel, and complete deployment process documents. The deployment readiness assessment can consist of both qualitative and quantitative assessment protocols from which feedback and follow-up actions are developed. An example of manufacturing process innovation deployment readiness review in a job shop is provided to illustrate the approach.

    In recent decades, the higher education sector has been heavily criticised for its inability to provide a high-skilled, work-ready labour force to meet industry needs. Many companies provide training for new employees and estimate that it takes these workers between 3 months and 2 years to learn the necessary skills to do their job. This training is costly for employers, especially as these workers often leave the company for a new position once they have acquired skills that make them more employable. This paper describes the development of an employment-focused curriculum that will enable business and education leaders to leverage their combined knowledge of labour markets, skills, and pedagogy to produce job-ready graduates and to close current skills gaps among higher education graduates. Incorporating input and feedback from employers into curriculum development helps to ensure that learners develop the work readiness and technical, specialist, and foundational (thinking, analytical, and digital) skills that employers seek. By developing a clearer understanding of what employees need to be able to do, educational institutions can refine their curricula and link training to the reality learners face on entering the labour market. This three-stage study investigates industry needs and employee skills. Based on a review of the literature on skills and training, the second stage involved the construction of instruments used in focus groups with industry participants in Jakarta and Surabaya. In the third stage, respondents completed a survey based on closed questions. The findings suggest that employees lack a range of skills, principally soft (thinking and learning, interpersonal, customer service, and business) skills. On that basis, a new approach is proposed for developing programme curricula that focus on these soft skills.

    We have developed analytical tools that include various modules based on statistics and machine learning for quality analysis through many national project. Typically, there are two analysis tools, one is Q-Factory and the other is IIoS Platform. The Q Factory platform contains a total of 39 analysis modules, each of which is divided into four categories: basic quality improvement tools, statistical analysis tools, statistical process control, and data mining-based quality management tools. The IIoS platform includes about 15 analysis modules and is developed with clustering, classification and prediction algorithms. In this study, we introduce the characteristics and detailed modules of two quality analysis platforms and present cases of quality analysis using manufacturing data.

    Criteria selection is a process used to determine appropriate candidates from among different criteria. This study uses Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to evaluate and select suitable criteria for supplier selection process through analyzing the relationships among them. A case study in a Vietnamese company is used to illustrate the method. In which, a set of 23 criteria is suggested and analyzed. The result shows that among 23 criteria, the criterion called “after-sales service” is belongs to the Autonomous, so it is eliminated. Others are ranked in three areas called Dependent, Linked and Independent. This result will be used as an input for supplier selection process in the company.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410022
    Reshoring decisions are associated with both high complexity and uncertainty. The increased complexity is due to the vast number of factors that need to be considered, while the uncertainty is due to the lack of sufficient information. The existing decision-making frameworks are few and theoretical and have not incorporated uncertainty and complexity aspects. Moreover, they do not provide automatic or digital decision support. In order to deal with this, one of the essential branches of mathematics called fuzzy logic is integrated together with traditional analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) as a tool for reshoring decision making when complexity and uncertainty are involved. In order to achieve this, the FAHP was applied to six reshoring criteria, which also correspond to competitive priorities. The findings show that the criterion Quality received the highest weight, followed by the criterion Cost. It was found that the criterion Sustainability resulted in zero priority weight, which means that this criterion was not given importance in this decision. This reduced the complexity of the decision by removing irrelevant criteria in decision making. The fuzzy sets used for pairwise comparisons also incorporated uncertainty in the decision. The FAHP is a feasible tool for reshoring decision making for most of the decision scenarios. This reshoring decision-making tool is automatic, simple and less time consuming, and can be adapted to suit unique reshoring cases.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410146
    While there is a strong interest to move towards a fully digitalized and integrated Business to Business (B2B) process, many companies oversee the importance of different aspects that should work together for a successful implemented B2B process. These aspects include alignment of the cross-organizational business process, organizational responsibility assessments, and technological readiness evaluation to reach at a sound digital B2B strategy. Without such a strategy, the business case for digitalizing B2B is not necessarily positive due to for example mismatch between strategy, process and technology, unclear responsibilities, and missing links in the technological infrastructure. Consequently, the investment on digitalization of a B2B process may not result in expected outcomes with over-budget implementations. This paper presents a framework for facilitating digital B2B integration, outlining and elaborating the aspects that should be considered in the digitalization of a supply chain process and information exchange. A case study from the maritime sector is discussed to map an ongoing project for the digitalization of a supply chain sourcing process, in the light of identified aspects. The case study explores the relationship between two suppliers and one manufacturer. They currently rely on an e-mail driven communication for the sourcing of products and have an ongoing incentive to further digitalize their relationship trough integrating an EDI system to their sourcing process. The paper contributes to theory and practice by proposing a holistic framework for digitalization of the supply chain sourcing process and providing insights and learnings from a real-life manufacturing company in this context.

    Retail pharmacy chains have significant impact on Egypt’s economy and play a vital role in medicines availability in the local market. Therefore, this research aims to assess the supply chain maturity of one of the top retail pharmacy chains in Egypt using the supply chain maturity assessment test (SCMAT). SCMAT helps in assessing the different performance areas in a company’s supply chain to initiate improvement and sustain business competitiveness. This is a qualitative case study that presents in-depth analysis of supply chain activities assessment. A focus group was organized with eleven top and middle managers from the retail pharmacy chain belonging to the following functions: supply chain, logistics, quality management, operations, information technology, customer service, procurement and human resources. In this focus group, participants assessed the level of supply chain maturity of their company. The analysis showed that there are several areas of improvements within the retail pharmacy supply chain which can support the chain in expanding its operations to more cities in Egypt.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410236
    This paper presents a decision-support system for reshoring decision-making based on fuzzy logic. The construction and functionality of the decision-support system is briefly outlined and evaluated in a high-cost environment contemplating six specific decision criteria, namely cost, quality, time, flexibility, innovation and sustainability. A major challenge with fuzzy logic solutions has to do with the construction of the fuzzy inference rules. In the relocation domain, the fuzzy inference rules represent the knowledge and competence of relocation experts and they are usually created manually by the same experts. One obstacle is that the complexity of the fuzzy inference rules increases with the number of decision criteria. To overcome this complexity issue, this paper presents a solution whereby the fuzzy inference rules are automatically generated by applying one hundred reshoring scenarios as input data. The reshoring decision recommendations produced by the fuzzy logic decision-support system are demonstrated to be close to those of human reshoring domain experts.

    Quality of bread production is of importance to be analyzed as it is a widely consumed food product in Indonesia, substituting rice. As bread production is located in the red ocean market, it is crucial for the companies to maintain the quality of the bread in order to preserve their customers. The statistical control chart is one of the tools to be used in overseeing product quality. A simple statistical control chart is based on the assumption that the field data are normally distributed. Nonetheless, in real case scenario, non-normal distribution of data is often found. Hence, this paper aims to construct bivariate control chart with copula as an alternative tool which regards the non-normal distribution of data and its effect on the firm-level quality management process. The numerical analysis is applied in this study to see whether or not bivariate control chart with copula is indeed better than the existing control chart. This paper makes use of simple random sampling methodology to evaluate one of the biggest bread companies in Indonesia, company ABC. By illustrating detail analysis using bivariate control chart with copula, the result shows that the alternative control chart is valuable in monitoring the quality of bread production in Indonesia.

    The failure rate of most SMEs in South Africa has remained very high, with up to 70 percent of such businesses closing down within the first five years of operations. High business operating costs incurred by SMEs are often cited as one of the major causes of these failures. It may be argued that to reduce these costs, and hence improve the success rates of SME ventures, supply chain management (SCM) strategies should be adopted and implemented. This article provides an analysis of the connection between SCM strategies, supply chain agility and supply chain performance amongst SMEs in South Africa. A total of 407 owners, managers and professional employees of SMEs operating in Gauteng province were recruited randomly to participate in the study. To test the hypothesised relationships, the collected data were analysed using Pearson correlations and regression analysis. The number of people employed was used as the control variable that moderates the hypothesised relationships. The results of the study disclosed that all four SCM strategies (supplier collaboration, TQM, technology adoption, supply chain integration) correlated with and predicted supply chain agility. Technology adoption (?=0.54) emerged as the strongest predictor of supply chain agility. In turn, supply chain agility correlated with and predicted supply chain performance. The article concludes by recommending specific interventions that may be employed by SMEs to ensure that that the adoption of SCM strategies yields positive outcomes.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410030
    This study investigates how continuous improvement of logistics services in a project- based context such as construction can be enhanced by a “priority matrix for service improvements”. Construction services in general, and logistic services in specific, have great impact on efficiency and sustainability (environmental as well as social). Solutions and experience from e.g. manufacturing and retailing that have undergone major transformation through industrialization and, more recently, servitization, to improve the quality and novelty of their offerings, there is a great potential in addressing the complex coordination, inefficient processes, and waste of materials in the project-based context of the construction industry. Whilst improvement initiatives concerning product quality are important inspiration of such transformation, they are based on continuous production processes and become a challenge when this experience is transferred to the project-based, construction industry. As response, this study draws upon the concept of service quality as the basis for improvement initiatives – a concept based on relations between actors that last beyond individual projects.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410102
    The e-commerce sector has been significant growth in Malaysia. Customer satisfaction has become an essential issue in the success of e-commerce customer experience. Customer satisfaction is essential for online retailers by providing a metric that they can use to manage and improve their online businesses. In Malaysia, online shoppers are facing difficulties in returning products, though they are facing with a faulty product. Hence, reverse logistics plays a vital role in e-commerce for increasing online shoppers’ buying confidence and customer satisfaction. However, there is limited studies focus on the impact of reverse logistics on customer satisfaction in e-commerce. Thus, this paper aims to determine the relationship between the variables of situational factors (advertising and accessibility) and customer satisfaction towards reverse logistics in e-commerce in the surrounding area of Klang Valley. The data are collected through the online survey and paper survey with 400 respondents who had an online shopping experience. The data are analysed using Pearson Correlation Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis. The result of this study is expected to provide positive contributions to online retailers in understanding customer needs and wants, thereby creating a good return policy that committed to customers satisfaction and sustainable online shopping experience.

    The number of cars in Indonesia increases significantly in recent years and the production of new cars has caused substantial environmental impacts. Remanufacturing is considered to be a way to alleviate the impacts, as it cuts the amount of waste being landfilled, conserves energy and reduces virgin materials consumption. Automotive parts remanufacturing transforms used and worn car parts and components into functional parts that, at least, match the performance of the newly manufactured parts. Remanufacturing is a complex process involving the full cycle of production, from design to manufacture, thus requires a careful determination of the design features that support remanufacturing processes. This study aims to identify what design features automotive parts should possess so that the parts can be remanufactured. We analyzed the remanufacturing process of six frequently replaced automotive parts, i.e. shock absorber, clutch disc, alternator, brake pad, tie rod, and compressor, and came up with the design characteristics that make the remanufacturing process feasible. This paper offers design recommendations linked to the existing literature. The findings of our study have been validated by a number of automotive practitioners.

    In this paper, we have addressed a problem related to forward and reverse logistics design for refurbished products. Nowadays, E-commerce firms have started recycling used products and selling them in the market as refurbished products. To address this, a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is proposed to minimize the total expected costs, which involves material costs, production costs, shortage costs, purchasing costs, recycling costs, inventory holding costs, repairing costs, disposal costs, and transportation costs associated with the entire forward and reverse supply chain network. The proposed model considers all pickup and delivery points of retailers/customers within the promised time window. The proposed model is solved using IBM CPLEX. Computational experiments are presented to generate comparative data for analyzing and deriving managerial insights using practical cases.

    Activities to proceed natural results into a product, start by determining the potential location, to manage raw materials, processes, until the product is ready to consume. Location determination is strongly influenced by characteristics owned by an area, especially with regard to raw materials derived from agriculture. Location determination is usually influenced by similarities characteristics that are owned by several places in the same area, so that it is important to determine the role of a location, to cultivate natural results. The research will be observed on location determination, for seaweed commodities which consist of the region, seaweed farming, industrial base, industrial processing, and distribution. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine the weight priority location to proceed seaweed, which focus on aspect natural resources, infrastructure, labour, technology, policy, education, and economy. The weight of each subsequent location is used, to determine supply chain with the largest sum of weights. Determination of the largest sum of weights, formulate by utilizing the dynamic programming, As well as assigning of an effective supply chain for seaweed industry on a region. The results with a dynamic programming model, show that supply chain performed by changing weight result from AHP to proceed effectively by minimum function of stagecoach dynamic programming model, and final result normalized to find maksimum sum of weight that show the best location with potential processing industry for seaweed in each area.

    Knowledge economy has been recently influencing various trading activities including the supply chain process on port operations. Ordering of port services, monitoring, controlling cargo handling and payment processes at a port including its continuous process at inland terminal are imperatively required by the port-users. This paper explores the effectiveness of implementing digitalization on operation and commercial process taking several main Indonesia ports that have been recently implementing their service digitalization at Tanjung Priok Port, Teluk Lamong multi-purpose terminal and Cigading Port. The qualitative and comparative approaches are applied in collecting responses from port-users as well as in comparing the requirements and expectations in implementing port digitalization. As the results, this study finds that the digitalization does provide better service performances in terms time and costs, including better performances, visibility of process and transparency of payments. Thus, the digitalization has a positive as well as negative effects not only due to the lower operational costs but also higher commercial effects both for port operators and users. However, internal platform of entities of port operators, shipping operators, forwarding agency and cargo owners should have a similar or standardized Information Communication Technology (ICT) platform in avoiding problem when interfacing data interactions

    Stroke is one of leading cause of short and long-term disabilities. Rehabilitation is an important part of post stroke patient care. Patients with motor impairments should be encouraged to do a routine exercise to improve their quality of living and increase their independence. Cycling is one example of suggested exercise that offers motor function recovery. This study is a partial part of a research that aims to commercially produce a physical theraphy tricycle for post stroke patient. Previous research has defined that the design of this tricycle is suitable for post stroke patient that could be seated unaided and it could be also utilized as a mode of transportation. Currently, this physical therapy tricycle development has completed its Beta prototyping stage. While, this tricycle design is still undergoing futher testing, a business model for a future company that will manufacture this tricycle is proposed by this study. Lean canvas is utilized to develop the business model. It is integrated with value engineering approach to specifically generate value proposition by using Function Analysis System Technique diagram. As a result, this study is not only to propose business model but also to provide recommendation for the latest design of physical theraphy tricycle. Addition of hand holder and pedal strap are suggested to improve the design of this tricycle.

    Every company needs to understand its performance in order to develop good strategies. To know its performance, an appropriate performance measurement system (PMS) should be proposed. Performance measurement system is a brief and exact set of measures (financial and non-financial) that support the decision-making process of a firm by gathering, processing and analyzing qualified data of performance information. The aim of this study is to develop suitable and potential framework of performance measurement system in food industry using literature review analysis. The measures are then classified into groups. Interestingly, they are fit into the four perspectives of the balanced scorecard (BSC), except a few measures, which cannot be put into these four perspectives. These measures are unique for the food industry and are classified into a new perspective called “Food Quality perspective.” Hence, the proposed performance measurement system for the food industry contains Customer perspective, Financial perspective, Internal process perspective, Learning and growth perspective, and Food quality perspective.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410027
    Lean management is an approach where value is created through the reduction of waste. Eight forms of waste were identified by the Toyota Company to be considered while managing an efficient production process: overproduction, waiting, transport, over processing, inventory, movement, defects, unused creativity. Modern manufacturing plants are being transformed by Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, which promotes a wide variety of technological solutions to increase innovativeness and competitive advantages. Since the start of Industry 4.0, machines and tools have become smart, collecting data about the processes and products produced at the plants, as well as products themselves becoming smart and generating their own data. Collecting and analyzing the data is very important to enable manufacturers to be more strategic in the decision-making process and generate new profit channels through data analytics. Data analysts, robot and PLC programmers, and cybersecurity managers are highly demanding jobs in leading manufacturing companies. Big data must be analyzed, since ignoring the data analytics or performing poor data analysis could lead to waste in the manufacturing process and loss of profit. A conceptual framework was developed to investigate if the inefficient usage of data has a negative impact on manufacturing performance through the decision-making process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in leading manufacturing companies in Sweden that are following lean principles. A new form of waste, digital waste, was defined. This paper suggests considering digital waste as a new part of ‘muda’ (waste), which is its theoretical contribution. From the practical perspective, the results of the paper encourages practitioners to pay extra attention to data analytics, work on reduction of digital waste and establish new revenue channels based on data analysis.

    Distance to service in Ghana remains a binding constraint for contraceptive health commodities use among rural and urban populace. The distances to goods and services in rural areas is still high, while in urban areas where demand for smaller families is greater, distance is a binding constraint even though average distances are smaller. Expanding access to a choice of affordable and appropriate health commodities such as contraceptive is critical to achieving the goal of reproductive health for all health commodities contraceptive that are considered to be overlooked or underutilized. The objective of this paper is to assess the efficiency of the existing distribution networks and recommend an alternative supply chain distribution network through Geographical Equi-Distance supply chain distribution network. A case study approach was used where purposive sampling was employed to select a major player in distribution of health commodities in Ghana. It was found that Geo-Equi Distance supply chain distribution network for health commodities can improve efficient distribution of health commodities in developing countries. The benefits of efficient supply chain distribution network include improved commodity availability, reduced lead time and improved healthcare delivery.

    Recently, sustainability manufacturing has a great attention by researcher and practitioner. Sustainable manufacturing is the design of manufactured that can maximize positive impact to environmental while conserving energy and natural resources. It must cover the entire process within the company, not only in the production process but also distribution process. Distribution process is one of the marketing activities that directly relate to consumers and has a large enough role in creating the benefits of an item. Mapping the process to find out the process suitability of the company towards the principle of sustainable manufacturing needs to be done in order to find out which points need to be improved. In this research, we used Sustainable Value Stream Mapping that gives results several problems in packaging and stuffing processes. This research was focus on stuffing because it has the most problems, starting from economic performance: poor cost efficiency (28.1%), bad time efficiency (28.1%), bad worker satisfaction (46.47%), bad training level (0%), and poor safety level (36.84%). These problems will be reduced by material handling investments. We analyze the alternative using NPV and ergonomics assessment. The investment of stacker can increase the company's performance result on the principle of sustainable manufacturing at the stuffing process produced economic indicators: good time efficiency (80%), good cost efficiency (90%), and good efficiency inventory (82%). Environmental indicators: good energy efficiency (80%). Social indicators: good safety level (100%) and training level remains poor (25%).

    Inland waterway (IWW) transportation in Sweden could be a substitute for road transports with the prospects of improving the environmental performance. For a successful modal shift it is important to understand the drivers and barriers for the shift and develop strategies to leverage the drivers and mitigate the barriers. This study aims to identify drivers and barriers for IWW transportation based on successful benchmark cases in the Netherlands. Furthermore, based on the learning from these benchmarks the study aims to point out strategic actions for Sweden regarding IWW. The results showed that main drivers for IWW are congestion relief, cost reduction and lower environmental impact. On the other hand, main barriers are slow pace of development, high investment costs and poor hinterland connectivity. For a successful modal shift in Sweden, it is crucial to prepare governmental support, a change in stakeholders’ mindset, decisive attitude to modal shift process and a strong long-term perspective.

    Industrial 4.0 technology has been significantly studied and to some extent has been applied especially by the developed countries since its emergence in 2011. Such technologies as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Analytics, Advanced Robotics, Augmented Reality, Block chain, and others have been implemented at various levels. Their applications have proven to have a significant impact on increasing productivity and competitiveness. On the other hand, the developing countries are still struggling to grasp these advanced technologies. At company level, some have tried to implement some elements of industry 4.0 technology, some are still assessing the possibilities, while many probably do not know what to do. In this study, we develop a maturity model of industry 4.0, which is done primarily based on literature review. For future phase of research, the proposed maturity model should be developed into an assessment instrument so companies can use this instrument to assess at which level they have grasp these technologies.

    Manufacturing flexibility (MF) becomes an important requirement for an effective response to market uncertainty. However, the outcomes of this relationship on financial performance often show mixed results. Identifying factors facilitating this relationship is crucial for maintaining financial performance. Drawing from social cognitive capital and uncertainty reduction theories, this study argues that cultural compatibility (CC) can mediate this relationship. A structural equation analysis of 150 Vietnamese manufacturers strongly supports this hypothesis. This study showed that a strong association exists between a manufacturing firm’s CC and its MF and financial performances. Besides, CC acts as a mediator to enhance MF on financial performance. Manufacturers can leverage MF to capture more market share and profits when developing a good working culture with their supply chain partners. For supply chain managers, these findings indicate that a strategy for achieving supply chain-based performance requires a dual-pronged approach that aligns manufacturers’ operations with extensive organizational capabilities with external partners.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410216
    In today's dynamic and uncertain business environment, every manufacturing or service firm does outsource activity in the form of procurement of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods, technology etc. Therefore, suppliers are the key players to help the firms to be competitive in the market. Firms are dependent on the suppliers to meet the customer demands. Total dependence on a single supplier may create huge problems to that firm. Natural disaster, new political rules etc. happening at supplier side may disrupt or seize the flow of supply to firm. Consequently, selecting suitable set of sustainable suppliers is a crucial activity for any organization. In this research, sustainable suppliers are selected based on set of criteria, cost, risk, flexibility and environmental responsibility. A novel approach involving fuzzy numbers, which make it easier to capture the decision maker’s subjective assessment related to supplier selection criteria, are applied to make accurate and consistent sustainable supplier selection decisions. The proposed approach follows the two-stage decision making process. In the first stage, selection of suitable sustainable suppliers and splitting order among them takes place. In the second stage, the impact of order splitting strategy on supply chain performance is examined. The efficacy and intricacy of the developed approach is validated using a real-life case.

    There is a growing recognition that safety culture has a huge impact on continuous improvement of patient safety and quality. As a multidimensional concept, safety culture is mainly measured through surveys in healthcare settings. The most common survey is the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), created by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), used in more than sixty countries so far. While the HSOPSC has been used satisfactorily in various healthcare settings worldwide, there has been no clear picture regarding what safety culture dimensions drive overall patient safety. To shed light on this, we used aggregate survey data from various hospitals in the US in multiple years to analyse the relationship between various safety culture dimensions and patient safety. As a machine learning tool, random forest model was used to build multiple decision trees and integrate them to get accurate and stable prediction on the relationship between aggregate safety culture dimensions and patient safety. It can be concluded that random forest model generated valuable results which may be used by hospitals to identify most significant categories that drive patient safety grade in their particular healthcare settings.

    Apparel industry is one of the key industries in Sri Lanka which represents over 7% of Sri Lanka’s GDP and employs directly about 15% of the country's workforce. Procurement plays a major role in apparel value chain in determining the cost and quality of the end products. With the development and increment of the use of technology, shifting to E-procurement has become vital in business world mainly because of the benefits it provides to the organization. In Sri Lanka most of the organizations have started the use of e-procurement blindly without estimating the costs or benefits resulted. This research aims to measure the effect of using e-procurement on performance of apparel supply chain and tries to identify the barriers and benefits on usage of E-procurement. The study was conducted using information collected from apparel organizations who are currently using e-procurement with the objective of supporting the apparel organizations which are planning to implement e-procurement in future. Objectives of the research were achieved by using statistical techniques; exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The study concludes that eprocurement usage positively impacts on the performance of apparel organizations. Moreover, it shows that barriers in E-Procurement can be categorized to three main categories; namely, Organizational barriers, HR related barriers and External barriers while most prominent benefits of implementing E- Procurement in an apparel organization are elimination of paperwork & improved transparency in transactions.

    In the current technological era, the rise of disruptive innovations is affecting the way industries run their operations. The disruptive impact of digitalization processes and the highly constant growth of sensible data are changing the very fabric of supply chain management. Disruptive technology offers innovative ways to tackle some of the main traditional approaches in the supply chain. Machine learning, which is viewed as disruptive technology, recently has evolved rapidly to optimize the process and efficiency in supply chain management. Machine learning could be applied in several stages of supply chain management from planning to the distribution process. In this paper, we explored and examined the literature of multiple machine learning algorithms and their application in the supply chain management, focusing on the demand forecasting stage since this the first and most important step of supply chain management. A total of 57 articles related to machine learning and demand forecasting were retrieved from ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis, and Emerald databases. The result showed that the machine learning algorithm performs better than the traditional demand forecasting model. Moreover, neural network and support vector regression algorithms are among the most potential and applicable algorithms to implement in demand forecasting. The practical implication of this paper is in exposing the current machine learning issues in the industry to help stakeholders and decision-makers better plan corrective actions.

    The Digital Supply Chain (DSC) phenomenon has recently emerged as a result of the advancement in technology, complexity, and dynamics of today’s competitive market. Researchers have explored the competitive advantage of moving from the traditional supply chain to the digital supply chain. Some of the most apparent benefits include the integration of the physical supply chain with digital technology, in real time, to optimize organizational performance through the improvement of supply chain visibility, responsiveness, robustness, and resilience. On the other hand, this transformation of the supply chain brings with it a host of challenges and issues that might make organizations “more vulnerable” and a “source of chaos.” The digital supply chain phenomenon is still in the preliminary stages of academic research, and the literature review is “fragmented.” In this research, we explored the existing digital supply chain literature to identify and classify factors for organizations to migrate from the traditional supply chain to the digital supply chain. We used a systematic literature review method to analyze papers matching our research criteria. Structured content analysis was used to review 106 English articles published in peer-reviewed and accredited journals from 2002 to 2019. The result showed that supply chain integration, collaboration, coordination, strategy, technology & worker skills, and adaptability are among the significant factor categories that should be addressed to assess the readiness of an organization to adopt a digital supply chain.

    Increasing trends and interest in Food Supply Chain Management (FSCM) research has been documented over the years. The food supply chain is more complex and challenging to manage as compared other supply chains as it involves critical food conditions including quality, safety, and freshness. As the advancement of technology reshapes society and consumer behavior, the current emerging challenge for FSCM is to meet the increasing demand and the higher expectations of food quality from the customers. Adopting disruptive technology such as IoT may be an attainable way to upgrade and reshape a smart FSCM in the environment of Industry 4.0. The IoT emerges as a data-driven technology that is promising to bring significant improvement to FSCM as a whole system. Nonetheless, the tendency to employ IoT in FSCM varies across organizations due to various reasons. With this knowledge, the purpose of this paper was to investigate and identify factors affecting the adoption of IoT as a disruptive technology in supply chain management. To meet our objectives of this research, we employed a systematic literature review of 45 peer-reviewed journal articles on the topic of IoT in supply chain management. The review findings showed that factors affecting IoT adoption vary in terms of context and approach used. The list of the most important factors included performance perceived benefit, cost, data complexity, compatibility, technical knowledge, hardware & infrastructure, peers and government support, security & privacy concern, and adoption willingness.

    The attention of supply chain researchers is ushering on the area of sustainable procurement since the start of this century. Therefore, this study urges to recognise the influencing factors of the implementation of sustainable procurement (SP) practices in the manufacturing firms. For the purpose of investigation, an online field questionnaire was established through the existing literature on green procurement. This survey was sent to 170 manufacturing firms in Malaysia. The recorded responses were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings reveal that regulatory pressure and customer pressure are the main elements encouraging the SP practices. Specifically, the regulatory pressure has the highest level of impact on SP practices. This paper contributes the instrumental insights in SP amongst manufacturing firms. Moreover, it also adds the extensive literature in the field of sustainable procurement which is inadequately explored.

    To date, Japan’s key success secret for its internationally known quality and excellence is not well shared or acknowledged in some parts of the world. The level of understanding and realization of this Japanese recipe for quality is diverse among the least developed, developing, and developed countries. Developed nations efficiently capitalized on the Japanese management philosophy and benefited greatly, as reported in several studies in the literature. On the contrary, only a handful of studies can be found on the adoption of Kaizen philosophy in developing countries. The existing literature emphasizes the need to carry on more research to discover where the developing nations stand in terms of the Japanese management philosophy and its effectiveness on productivity. Challenges associated with facing acceptance and the transferability of Kaizen as Japanese management philosophy have been the focus of discussion in the recent studies. Therefore, this research aimed to identify factors affecting the Kaizen transferability in non-Japanese cultures by answering the question of; what are the significant factors (internal and external) affecting the transferability and adoption of Kaizen as the Japanese management philosophy in a non-Japanese culture? Based on literature review findings and practices, we included six main factors: employee participation and personal initiative, the discipline of employees, the eagerness of employees, top management commitment, organization structure, and organization culture.

    Demand prediction is a crucial activity in managing supply chain. It is going to trigger all operational activities in supply chain. In fashion industry, demand prediction becomes challenging. Previous researchers have identified many factors are affecting demand of fashion product. Short life cycle, trend, season, high product variance are among factors that creating complexity in fashion product demand prediction. This research develops demand prediction model based on artificial neural network for fashion product considering product variance. The model applied feed-forward backpropagation technique as training algorithm with Levenberg-Marquadt training function. Application of the model in real industrial data is showing promising result.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410021
    Reshoring decision making is least explored as these decisions are complex and time- consuming. Numerous quantitative and qualitative criteria need to be considered in the decision-making. The existing decision-making tools are few and theoretical and lack automatic decision support capabilities. Therefore, there is a need of automatic and rapid decision support tool for reshoring decision making. One of the more well-known systematic decision-making tools is analytical hierarchy process (AHP) that has been used to handle complex decision problems in operations management domain. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of AHP as a tool for reshoring decision-making. In order to achieve this, the AHP was applied to six reshoring criteria on an overall level, which also correspond to competitive priorities. First, a hierarchy of criteria was constructed, then the pairwise comparison of each criteria pair was made, then the final priority weights of the criteria were calculated, and finally the consistency of the comparisons was checked. The criteria Quality and Cost obtained higher priority weights in reshoring decision. Later, the final priority weights of the criteria were used to evaluate fifteen different reshoring decision scenarios and compared against reshoring expert’s opinion. It was found that thirteen of these decision evaluations were correct on comparing the AHP outputs and the expert’s opinion. Only two of the evaluations were not in agreement, however the confidence values on these decisions were very small. Therefore, this research shows that AHP is a feasible tool for reshoring decision making on an overall level of criteria. The tool can be adapted to different decision makers and different reshoring types. The tool provides automatic support for reshoring decisions.

    This paper investigates the feasibility of using fuzzy logic for reshoring decision-making. To achieve this a fuzzy logic system for reshoring decision-making was implemented. The system was configured in two different ways to cover the two main fuzzy logic modeling approaches and sixteen fuzzy inference settings were used in each configuration. The research shows that fuzzy logic is a feasible method for reshoring decision-making. The reduced rule base configuration was more accurate than the complete rule base configuration. However, the reduced rule base also generated more conflicts in particular settings. Among all the fuzzy inference settings used in this research, one of the settings outperformed the others. With regard to the particular inference methods, the research show that maximum is the preferred aggregation method while middle of maximum is the preferred defuzzification method.

    Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices are gaining popularity among Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which is being increasingly implemented. Although previous research focused on GSCM practices and its outcomes extensively, most of the research based on developed countries. Limited research has been done about GSCM and its outcome in Malaysia. The purpose of this paper is to identify different types of GSCM practices and performance outcomes in Malaysian context. This paper will compare GSCM research at global level with the existing GSCM research in Malaysia to explore further directions of GSCM research in Malaysia.

  49. HOW ECONOMIC INTEREST IMPACT ON SCM PERFORMANCE?

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410245
    Recently the number of bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) has surpassed multilateral or plurilateral FTAs by international and regional organizations (e.g. WTO, EU); partly due to inefficiencies in their negotiation processes. It has also been demonstrated (Butter and Mosch, 2003) that more formal (e.g. legal) and informal (e.g. norms and values) trust mechanisms between trading partners increase their trade. FTAs can be seen as one such formal trust mechanism between the signatory countries. If one achieves a trustworthy status and more formal and informal economic ties for their trading partner, it is reasonable, and to a certain extent expected, to share both benefits and risks. That is, minimize and/or prevent the partner’s opportunistic behavior. This, in turn, allows lowering of both ex-ante and ex-post transaction costs (Williamson, 1985, Dyer and Chu, 2003, Kwon, Hamilton and Hong, 2011). It could thus be hypothesized that logistical performance also improves among trading partners with the appropriate trust mechanisms in place. This research will investigate the above using inferential statistical analysis of secondary data. Suitable proxies will be selected for both formal and informal trust mechanisms and economic ties to investigate their effects on the Logistics Performance Index (LPI). The LPI is reported by the World Bank and comprises six measures; viz. customs, infrastructure, international shipments, logistics competence, tracking & tracing and timeliness. The number of bi-, multi-, and plurilateral FTAs of each country will be used as a proxy of the formal trust mechanisms, while a range of indicators (e.g. corruption index, political stability, industrial disputes and relations) will be used as proxies for informal trust mechanisms. This study focuses on how formal and economic ties and interest impacts including potential FTAs in the future on SCM performance.

    The company currently delivers fertilizer using trucks with a capacity of 16 tons directly from factory to distributor. In practice, trucks deliver fertilizer more than their capacity that causes frequent traffic accidents. It prompted the Indonesian government to make regulations that prohibit trucks from carrying loads that exceed their capacity. If the regulation is fully implemented, it will significantly increase the cost of distribution. Therefore, the company intensively tries to find ways to reduce delivery costs. Currently, the company considering intermodal delivery as an alternative in delivering fertilizer to distributor. In this alternative, bulk fertilizer is sent by ship, then bulk fertilizer is brought by the truck to the packing plant and after bagging, the fertilizer is sent by truck to the distributor. The company needs to determine optimal combination of direct delivery using trucks and intermodal delivery in bulk using ships and trucks. Intermodal delivery, in this case, is a complex problem. It is because there are uncertainty and interdependency between stages in the delivery. Therefore, simulation is used to estimate capacity of packing plant. The simulation model is submodel of Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model. The output of simulation model will be used as right-hand-side (RHS) of capacity constraint in the ILP Model. In addition, sensitivity analysis has been done to explore characteristics of solution in some different ship capacity and some overload thresholds capacity in regulation. The optimal solution of the ILP model shows two important insights that are many district warehouses are still more efficient to be supplied directly by truck from factory and the farther the distributor's location, the more chance it will be supplied via intermodal delivery.

    Today most businesses are changing from being function driven to being process driven entities and the integration of business processes is achieved through Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). ERP is a process where a company, often a manufacturer, manages and integrates the important parts of its business. Therefore ERP systems are becoming popular among business organizations globally as well as locally. Currently Sri Lankan manufacturing companies are considering the implementation of ERP system but the information on benefits arising from ERP usage is limited due to lack of research in this area. Therefore this study aims to identify the current level of ERP usage in Sri Lankan manufacturing companies and its impact on operational performance. For this purpose, a standard questionnaire was used for primary data collection, gathered from manufacturing companies that are currently using any type of ERP software. Data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that the level of ERP usage in Sri Lankan manufacturing companies are at average level and there is a significant impact of ERP usage on operational performance. These findings will be supported for manufacturing companies for making decision to use ERP for their business activities.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410247
    The agri-food industry has rapidly globalized due to the constant growth of international trade during the last decades. Outsourcing and offshoring of production processes have led to an increased diversity and a high number of entities, processes and localizations as well as an enhanced complexity in product and information flow. Global, highly interconnected agri-food supply chains may create food safety risks and vulnerabilities at multiple points at the various supply chain stages. In the area of risk management, the evaluation of health risks (risk assessment), as well as in the field of early risk identification the focus has so far been on the supply chain stages "(primary) production", "processing" and "wholesale and retailing". The processes between these stages - the global commodity flows - were not yet sufficiently taken into account. The resulting knowledge gaps in the field of international logistics may pose challenges for risk assessors. We developed a comprehensive Conceptual framework (CF) of global agricultural bulk commodity (ABC) flows in order to understand the complexities of the international logistics sector and to systematize research in that field of food safety. The CF was constructed based on a qualitative approach using Grounded Theory. ABC flows are illustrated and characterized by three categories: 1. Processes, 2. Core actors and 3. Routes and nodes. Influential sectors are differentiated in two categories: I. Logistics-related conditions and II. Drivers of change. Further, food safety concepts were identified: A. Management,B. Coordination / Cooperation, C. Quality and capacity of routes and nodes, D. Diversity of logistics-related conditions and E. Dynamics of driver of change. In addition, the CF served as the basis for the identification of critical factors related to food safety through expert interviews. The CF and preliminary results of the expert interviews with representatives from the international logistics and agricultural trade sector as well as from the food and feed industry will be presented.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410212
    Rail freight transportation is one of important modes for freight transport as it is good for bulk materials, agricultural products and containers. In order to save logistics and transportation cost, many companies select to transport their products by rail. However, in Thailand the rail freight is only 1 percent of all transportation modes which majority is the road transport, followed by water transport. One reason that companies do not use rail freight is the limitation to track or trace the shipments. Companies may not know where the shipments are and when they will arrive at the destination. This is due to the information do not flow smoothly among all parties in the supply chain. Therefore, this research is intended to illustrate information flow along the supply chain to unveil the missing link of the information. Then, suggestions for filling the gaps will be made so that traceability can be expected. The case of State Railway of Thailand (SRT) practice is used to reflect the problems and suggest solutions for improvement.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410225
    In today’s globalized world, supply chain management becomes increasingly important but also more and more complex. Facets like global competition, outsourcing to countries with lower wage levels, or short product life cycles lead to the shift from inter-company rivalry to competition between supply chains. Additionally, an increasing number of stakeholders in the supply chain demands the consideration of social and environmental issues throughout the conduct of business. Companies have reacted to these concerns with the implementation of annual reports on their environmental impact, sustainability strategies, or through their codes of conduct. However, these efforts seem mostly uncoordinated, and there emerges a massive gap between the advertised sustainability of supply chains and the actual implementation of sustainable practices. New industry 4.0 technologies can have a severe impact on the sustainable management of supply chains because they affect a supply chain's economic, environmental, and social performance. Due to the novelty of these technologies, there exists little research on their impacts on the supply chain’s environmental and social performance. This talk will explore a systematic investigation of the implications of the I4.0 technologies on sustainable supply chain management.

    A container revolution which arose from economic liberalisation together with globalisation have thought the importance of regionalisation in order to survive in this rapidly changing economic trend. Malaysia which faced a tremendous implication from these economic transitions, have pressurised the seaport system in the nation by affecting its competitiveness level. In order to preserve it competitiveness level, the concept of regionalisation has been adapted in this region. Hence, dry ports have been aligned in the Malaysian container seaport system to ensure seaports have additional capacity and flexibility to cope with the trend of world economic system. Therefore this paper, analyses benefits of dry ports in the Malaysian container seaport system to various key stakeholders. By conducting face-to-face interviews with experts in the shipping industry as well as with support from secondary data, this paper analyse the opportunities that these dry ports poses for future development. In addition to this, this paper also reveals the possible strategies that can be adapted by these specific intermodal terminals for operational enhancement in the nation’s trade system. The findings indicated that the presence of dry ports provide substantial benefits to stakeholders in the seaport system such as reducing waiting times for ships, increasing the efficiency in transport chain, preventing long customs clearance at seaports, balancing road and rail transport for container distribution and decreasing total freight cost. Furthermore, accessibility to the international transportation network and the government’s international and national economic development plans are additional opportunity owned by dry ports in this region. Moreover, some recommendations have been provided especially on the aspect of transportation, inter/intra-regional planning, interoperability, location, collaboration planning, marketing, safety and security as well as dry port service diversifications. These findings indicate that dry ports in a reliable inland network assist seaports and other stakeholders to increase their sustainability in the dynamic maritime trade.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410215
    Since the complexity of globalization and the importance of the transportation process, global manufacturers need to consider production planning with complex transportation situation. The constant value of transportation process is not accurate and leads to total cost increasing. Corresponding to different supplying network, appropriate transportation modes with nonconstant value should be considered with production planning simultaneously. The proposed model aims to assist managers to make decisions about production allocation, transportation mode selection, shipping contracts by volume with carriers and vessel companies under a given network. This study develops a global production–shipping planning model that incorporates a decision on transportation mode after considering the cost function of different transportation modes from the shipper’s point of view. We propose tramp shipping, liner shipping mode into production-shipping planning, considering transshipment and consolidation to exploit economies of scale under a given network. We present mathematical formulations of tramp, liner modes. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed modes, we present a practical case study that is motivated by a real-world example. The two modes are compared and discussed in numerical examples. The advantages and disadvantages of the two modes are discussed in different situations. The result is a decision aided system to support production– shipping planning in selecting the optimal transportation mode.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410169
    Agricultural waste generation poses a significant challenge to food security and threatens the social and environmental stability of the world ecosystem. There is little or no support from the government with regards to policies, resources mobilization and strategies to motivates waste reclamation, or to support its use as raw materials for industrial resources/clean energy generation. Pre-existing designs for wastes handling proved too expensive, inaccessible, and with a low-performance throughput. The focus of this research is toward the development of a waste management strategy and scheme which emphasize the conversion of reusable wastes to energy, in Uganda. In the present paper, the author's analyses the availability organic waste resources, around the city of Kampala in Uganda. Animal Dung & Biomedical-degradable Wastes (ADBD), and Vegetables, seeds & Fruit- peel Wastes (VSFP) were sourced from different hot-spots. Fruit peels, seeds, corn cob, sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, groundnut shells, as well as animal droppings, and wastes from abattoirs, market centers, restaurants, homes, and industries fall into the categories of ADBD and VSFP waste selected for the study. Bio methanol gas which was derived from the ADBD and VSFP substrate gave 52.4% and 48.6% respectively. Effective waste collection, and management is needed to transform the huge agricultural propensity and waste generation for socio-economic and environmental gain.

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcomes of a manufacturer involving its suppliers in their lean training program. A single in-depth case study is conducted to examine a lean training program that was offered by Scania to five suppliers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at Scania and these suppliers to explore the outcomes of the training program. The interview findings were triangulated by completing observations and focus groups at the suppliers. Four main outcomes are identified after the completion of the training program. First, the suppliers became easier to collaborate with due to better internal ways of working and more trust in terms of reliability. Second, the suppliers improved their ability to identify possible problems that could jeopardize deliveries. Third, the suppliers improved their delivery precision. Fourth and finally, financially unstable suppliers were less perceptive to the lean training program than financially stable suppliers. This study also proposes avenues for future research.

    We present a model that combines price promotions and inventory decisions, in order to evaluate the effect of these two factors on a firm’s profitability. More importantly, we want to investigate whether these two factors can complement one another in the firm’s effort to increase its profits. The model treats the annual number of promotions that the firm should adopt as a decision variable. The model considers an annual price-depended demand, and following the extensive marketing literature on promotions, assumes that price promotions increase monthly demand and demand variability. This affects inventory decisions such as ordering quantities and safety stocks. A sensitivity analysis shows the effects of all model parameters (marketing and operational) on the annual number of promotions adopted by the firm, providing interesting managerial insights.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410253
    The occupational field of logistics is undergoing a considerable transformation, as new technologies area rising and economic, environmental as well as social conditions are significantly changing. In addition, the logistics sector is facing problems to attract well skilled employees. Adequately preparing the next generation of logistics experts plays a central role to master these challenges. To be most effective, logistics education should not be limited to academic programs or company trainings, but already take place at schools. Thus, logistics topics should be included in curricula of different school types and taught in high quality to school students. This does not only increase the knowledge about logistics at an early stage but also raise interest for future careers in logistics. Therefore, this work presents the initiative “Research and Education on Transport Logistics” (RETrans) and discusses its potential to empower logistics education and to overcome prejudices among potential future employees. The initiative’s mission is to build a competence center for transport logistics in cooperation with stakeholders from research, industry, and the public sector. Central to the project is its open online platform providing information and learning materials on the transport modes rail, road, and inland waterway, efficient logistics processes, new technologies and innovations, as well as sustainable freight transport. All materials are freely available and can be used by different school types. Various instruments, such as curricula analysis, expert workshops, surveys, and analysis of secondary data, contribute to the design of the online platform.

    Last mile delivery logistics (LMD) has become one of the key competitive services of online retailers. LMD is defined as the last stretch of the delivery process to end consumers, playing a critical role in ensuring customer experience. Effective LMD does not only affect customer experience but also make a significant impact in terms of reduced transport cost, fuel emission and increased resource utilization. At the same time, it is also facing challenges including rising fuel prices, failed deliveries and parking issues. This paper describes a review of how DHL eCommerce (Vietnam) employed LMD in its supply chain strategy to provide competitive logistics service for the local online retailers. Initial findings indicate that the current DHL e-Commerce’s LMD operation model and service offerings provide delivery tracking, high occurrence cash remittance for sellers, and dense service points network as their competitive offerings.

    The population of this study comprises the small and medium-sized categories of SMEs in the service sector in Australia. Services have become a driving force in the global economy representing the most dynamic sector in international commerce. In SMEs suitable leadership is important to organizational success and performance. The leadership style of the manager in large part may impact the behaviors of the followers and thus impact on organisational performance. This study aims to investigate the influence of leadership behaviours on the performance of Australian SMEs located in the services sector. 313 senior managers of services SMEs in Australia participated in the study. The results revealed that: a) there were significant relationships between leadership behaviours and growth of s SMEs; b) there were insignificant relationships between leadership behaviours and profitability of SMEs, and c) transformational leadership contributed more significantly to SME growth than transactional leadership behaviour.

    The Sea – Toll Agenda is one of the most ambitious initiatives of the Indonesian government to reduce the economic disparity between eastern and western regions in Indonesia. This program provides integrated logistics network for maritime sector in the form of subsidized liner shipping operation. However, after four years of implementation, this network is still underperforming, which concerns some operation issues, such as a high Round-Trip-Voyage (averagely 30 days per voyage). In addition, the budget for Sea – Toll operation is increasing around 45% each year because the government attempts to target more ports for this program. This paper intends to offer a proposed network for the Sea – Toll Agenda to improve its performance in terms of vessel operation and total shipping cost. The methodological approach is built based on the LSND (Liner Shipping Network Design) model to unravel the complex problem of establishing network into three decision levels, i.e., strategic, tactical, and operational. The k-means clustering algorithm accommodated our idea to group the set of port involved in the Sea – Toll Agenda into several clusters based on their distance. Then, a TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem) method is performed to yield the most efficient path to connect all ports and generate the Clustering Network. Some network options (Port Aggregation & Butterfly Hub) and scenarios (additional and backflow cargo) are developed from the Clustering Network to obtain the best-proposed network by comparing them with the current Sea – Toll Network in terms of operation planning and shipping cost performance. Our paper finds that the k-means clustering algorithm and the TSP model can generate a Clustering Network that has a lowest total distance (10,776 nm). However, the Butterfly Hub option offers the lowest total cost among others. This option can reduce about 50% of the total cost and save around 60% of the subsidy compared with the current Sea – Toll Network. Moreover, the proposed network can provide a better regularity (14 days round-trip-voyage) using half of the number of vessels operating on the Sea – Toll option. The finding, obtained from the additional and backflow cargo scenarios, suggests that the government should consider to revoke the policy of goods limitation in Sea – Toll Agenda. Both scenarios are capable of improving the network by providing more subsidy saving (10% lower than proposed network) and a competitive unit cost per TEU (770 USD/TEU) compared to the cost from initial Sea – Toll Network (1,830 USD/TEU).

    There has been an increasing consumer demand for local and organic food as they are considered to be more sustainable, ecological and healthier. The ‘conventional’ long food distribution system is not able to fulfill the current needs. Consequently, short distribution systems for local and organic food have been gaining popularity that is not only sustainable but also contribute to food security and satisfies local consumer demand. Alternative food networks (AFNs) address these concerns. They have emerged as a food provisioning system linked with reciprocal ties that promote a sustainable and civil economy, environment, biodiversity and respect for farming tradition. However, the AFNs are facing a challenge to maximize the distribution of local and organic products in the long term. The purpose of the paper is to make a review of the existing short food distribution systems for local and organic food and propose a research agenda. In order to achieve this, a literature review is conducted and different food distribution channels within AFNs are studied. The challenges for each food distribution channel are identified and then compared to ‘conventional’ distribution systems. As a main finding of the study is presented a framework with the main challenges of the existing short food distribution channels within AFNs. This gives the general criteria to consider while designing a short food distribution system that closely connects consumers and farmers of local and organic food. The policy implication is to create favorable conditions to encourage short food distribution systems in the long term.

    In urban logistics, long distance shipments from warehouses to consumer are becoming difficult with continued e-commerce growth. This requires complex planning and scheduling to minimize global travel costs, but often experiences challenges such as lowering the economies of scale in the transportation system, including high levels of load fragmentation and low use of vehicle load compartments. In this study, we propose allocation of locker facilities for delivery point of goods in the e-commerce business. Automatic lockers are spread out at the location determined from the model developed in this study. This locker serves as an effective alternative solution to a gathering point of goods sent by the seller, as well as a gathering point for end customers who take items purchased from the e-commerce. We specifically discuss the set covering problem by considering the population density in each region. We attempt to optimize the location facilities by providing several options of the scope to cover the maximum customer. This problem is applied to a 42-node census tract representation of city center of Gresik.

    The purpose of this paper is the literature review about food supply chain management and research analyze of a logistic partnership choice within food industry enterprises in the aspect international markets expansion. Based on the reviewed literature, the most important aspects of cooperation between the various links of the food supply chain and the factors determining the level of this cooperation were identified. An important issue was also discussed, which is measuring and assessing the integration of the food supply chain. Based on our own survey analysis, using the correlation of r-Pearson and linear regression analysis, the relationship between the choices of individual logistic partnership in the aspect international expansion was indicated. The food industry is one of the largest and most complex production sectors in the world economy. By the same this sector also contributes to the phenomenon of food waste. Previous studies show that two-thirds of the wasted food is occurred in supply chain and connected mainly with harvesting, shipping and storage. Therefore, taking into account the trend of sustainable development, the subject of food supply chain management and the effective cooperation to reduce waste in this chain is very important. The research is important not only from the economic, but also from the social point of view, because it gives the attention to the issue of cooperation that is important in the context of food waste reduction. The conducted research is a starting point for further analyses regarding the optimization of the dependents identified in the practical part the selection of logistic partners.

    This paper investigates the feasibility of different logistics solutions, or so-called setups, in a third-generation port. To achieve this, a simulation model imitating the work of a real third- generation port was developed. Four experiments with different logistics setups (the size and number of shipped consignments to the port, dispatching time, deployed truck fleet, etc.). have been configured and evaluated in the simulation model. The research shows that effective material transfer from the plant to the port can be provided, if a pull- system is applied instead of traditional push-system. This approach allows goods to be delivered just-in-time with the minimum costs of labour and material resources.

    Ecommerce fulfilment operations require rapid sorting solutions for parcels in hubs. Autonomous robotic sorting is a new method to sort parcels cheaply, on a very small footprint. Such robotic sorting systems can now be not only in sorting centers, but also in some ecommerce warehouses. We discuss new queueing-network based models that incorporate congestion of the robots. Such models may help to optimally design such systems for cost and performance, as well as to evaluate different operational policies. We evaluate single and multiple-tier solutions, combined with different driving path topologies and different assignment rules of robots to workstations. By We show the models are accurate by comparing them with simulation and then use them to show that, for both layout types, a square layout is close to optimal and the shortest path topologies lead to shorter throughput times with acceptable congestion levels. We also compare the robotic sorting systems with a conventional cross-belt loop sorter for cost. For low to moderate values of the required throughput capacity, robotic sorter systems are best. However, beyond a critical limit, cross-belt sorters are the cheaper solution.

    Today there are numerous Factories of the Future initiatives delivering different Industry 4.0 applications to manufacturing industry supply chains. However, in the future, Factory of the Future is not going to be a simple manufacturing asset, nor a sum of isolated assets. Instead, it will comprise a network of factories, which is considered in a System of Systems approach. The current challenge is to propose novel architectures, technologies and methodologies to optimize the level of efficiency and security of this System of Systems in a context where every step towards digitization exposes the manufacturing process to a widening array of cyber threats. This paper discusses about the management of cyber threats in System of Systems operations and supply chains. The next generation System of Systems are using different technologies with the combination of human aspects from workers, managers, entrepreneurs and decision makers. In addition, economically there are limitations on how much to invest on different technologies and human aspects. In addition, monetary and financial flows are under the burden of cyber risks. This study will therefore embrace the technical, economic and human dimensions at once. This study is based on a European-wide multi-national research project, the aim of which is to define - through different use-cases - the preventive and reactive capabilities to address cyber and physical threats and safety concerns in System of Systems. The study indicates different cyber challenges related to the future manufacturing business and operational models, with a special attention on “as-a-service” business model. The paper also indicates initial managerial and practical views on the management of cyber threats in future business models.

    Because of its location in the ring of fire, Indonesia has around 30% of all volcanoes in the world. After the volcano erupted, the area around the volcano was damaged and many people lost their houses, jobs, and possibilities to live in there. Before the volcano erupts, people who live around the volcano must be evacuated as soon as possible to one of the available shelters. In the shelters, drinking water, food, and medicine are needed by victims who were evacuated to survive aftermath of a disaster. To distribute reliefs to all shelters effectively, we developed a multi-objective relief distribution model. This distribution system model aims to determine the allocation of various types of relief items to several shelters with a minimum total cost and balanced service level between locations. This multi- objective relief distribution model considered multi-item, multi-period, multi-vehicle, and multi-trip by using a pre-emptive goal programming approach. This optimization model was applied to the numerical example based on Semeru Mount as the highest active volcanoes in Indonesia, which is located in Lumajang, East Java.

    This paper presents a variant of the basic vehicle routing problem (VRP) called the multi-trip vehicle routing problem with backhauls and time windows (MTVRPBTW). Two objectives are considered: minimizing the number of vehicles and minimizing the total tour duration time. These two objectives are handled into a single objective by defining a wighted sum. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is formulated to represent the MTVRPBTW. Variable neighborhood descent (VND) is proposed to solve the MTVRPBTW. In this paper, two schemes of VND is proposed depending on the order of neighborhood structures applied.

    As global wealth and prosperity shifts, Food Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCO) and Chief Sustainability officers (CSO) must become even closer global partners in order to survive. For instance, according the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that at least three million lives are lost annually due to carbon emission. Several known sources including utility plants, organic food matter, and other industrial supply chain (combustion engines) sources. This life expectancy number creates a sense of urgency for growing multi- national food companies (MNFCs). The implications are clear, failure to develop and implement effective supply chain CO 2 strategies in the Paris Climate Agreement and China Carbon Trading era could lead to further humans, animals, and businesses losses. In contrast, MNFCs must grow in developing markets or face a difficult future. This research study offers an innovative MNFC sustainable supply roadmap and technology innovations to address future sales growth and lower greenhouse gas emissions. First, this paper engages leading international subject matter experts (SME) whom influence the world’s largest multi-national food companies. The paper’s SME’s provide a high-level Food MNCs Supply Chain roadmap. Second, this paper reveals emerging MNFC technologies which could help fill two (new product development and strategic sourcing) of six global food sustainable supply chain research gaps suggested by this research paper’s SME’s. MNFC gaps such as blockchain, machine learning and internet of things (IoT) are integrated into this paper’s findings and MNFC sustainable supply chain conceptual roadmap. Although this paper is narrowly focused on the global food exporters yet many aspects of this paper apply to many global consumer products companies. Collectively this paper could to useful to researchers, government and industry leaders.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410223
    Customer satisfaction becomes target of any product design and development programs. That is why it is very importance to measure the customer satisfaction accurately. Contemporary customer satisfaction, both the actual and the expected ones, are estimated or measured by mean of customer survey. Measuring customer satisfaction using customer survey may include some drawbacks. This situation causes bias or un-reliable results and takes times. By nature, customer satisfaction level strongly depends on the product performance even though some other aspects such as its supports and environment on how the product is delivered to the customer should also be considered. This paper proposes a new way to measure the expected customer satisfaction using the product feature performance target. This approach involves the use of the Kano’s categorization that classifies product attributes with respect to its impact on the customer satisfaction. Mathematical model for each product attribute categories are formulated. The formula then is used to determine the expected customer satisfaction for any intended product feature performance target. This approach may be of value for product designers conducting what-if analysis during a product design process.

    The industrial operation, as we know, is transitioning. Newly emerging innovations and digitization techniques now play a vital role in transforming manufacturing activities beyond the natural materials selection requirement, energy savings, and waste reduction. Here, we explore new concepts and review technological drivers, including big data, Cyber- Physical Systems (CPS), high-speed internet, and the Internet of Things (IoT) application to promote SMEs' operational performance. The purpose of this study is to support the improvement of competitiveness in production and sustainability in the industrial sector, citing nascent technological approaches. We aim to understand the applicability and awareness level of selected techno-innovation strategies: Internet of Production, cloud computing, and blockchain technology to bolster productivity in the manufacturing and service sector. A survey is conducted, comprising of experts; University faculties, reputable IT-savvy specialists, and managers of innovation-minded corporations to draw inference on outlooks for techno-innovation success in the near future. The results proffer strategies to ameliorate the limitation of new technological initiatives to transform industrial operations and sustainably promote productivity. More so, the article is a contribution to the body of knowledge on the subject matter, giving insight to technicalities, challenges, and a series of recommendations for future industry development.

  76. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SUPPLY NETWORK: A MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING APPROACH
    • Omkarprasad S. Vaidya
    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410233
    Professional services supply chain are a set of organized sequences that provide technical, clerical, knowledge based services to the clientele to achieve a specific result. Such supply chains are mostly seen in various domains such as health care, judiciary, real estate, social work sector, tourism, financial services, and humanitarian logistics and to a large extent in the area of after services provided by the product manufacturer. With the availability of the information and ease in information flow the professional services supply chains, often operate as a service network. Broadly such professional service networks can be classified into three categories: a) the services dealing with after sales services (partial services managed by the owner of supply network), b) professional service outsourcing (services monitored by the owner of supply network) and c) sector specific professional services (complete services managed by the owner of the supply network). In this present work, we look into specific characteristics of the professional service networks and provide a generic approach to evaluate its performance. The performance of the service supply chain network can be classified into a. Output based performance and b. Process based performance. In this present work, we propose two approaches (one each) to evaluate the performance of the professional service network. In order to obtain a holistic view of the performance evaluation, multiple criteria needs to be considered. Here, we present a multi-criteria decision making based approach for performance evaluation. A hypothetical example is illustrated for this purpose. We hope that this approach would help better understanding of the professional service supply network and help improve its performance.

    The purpose of this research is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the supply chain design (SCD) activities that an OEM can perform when developing new products. This purpose is realized by systematically examining peer-reviewed journal articles written in English. The search strategy adopted in this research is based on selected databases and keywords. Cross- referencing is used to identify additional relevant articles. This resulted in a synthesis sample of 93 relevant articles. From this synthesis sample, a set of SCD activities that can be performed by OEMs during product development projects are extracted. These activities are discussed by using a subset articles (47) from the synthesis sample.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410025
    Over the years, many countries are facing problems with man-made (e.g. terrorist attacks) as well as natural (e.g. earthquake) disasters. It is becoming one of the reasons for the economic slowdown. Effective logistics management is necessary to cope up with these problems. Therefore, humanitarian logistics (HL) is gaining attention from researchers and practitioners. The overall objective of this study is to explore the warehouse location decision problem by considering specific site attributes in the unique context of humanitarian relief operations. It is one of the strategic decisions to be taken at the preparedness phase of the disaster management. Prepositioning of the warehouse is done to pre-stock relief materials and quick dispatch of them to the disaster site. Commercial supply chains do not preposition warehouses; therefore, it is one of the important distinguishing factors. Prepositioning is not much studied in HL literature, in that also, very few studies are focused on developing countries like India. Previous models developed were based on the computerized optimization, ignoring qualitative aspects. In real life, manager’s decision is based on experience and intuition. Therefore, this study is to investigate humanitarian prepositioned location decision problem with qualitative attributes based on human judgements. In this study, managerial level officers participate to construct the warehouse location decision attributes and evaluated the warehouse location for prepositioning. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is to acquire criteria weights and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to obtain the final ranking of the warehouse locations. Fuzzy set theory is adopted in the evaluation to deal with the fuzziness of decision-makers preferences in decision making.

    A quality control process mostly relies on a robust inspection process in order to have accurate data to be analyzed for the purpose of quality management. An intelligent inspection system is employed for automatic the inspection process. Choosing this system requires an integrated understanding of quality control process within the production system, instead of the budget consideration. This paper offers the design methodology of intelligent inspection system especially for connecting with the seven tools of quality. First, the required data characteristic of cause and effect diagram, check sheet, control chart, histogram, pareto chart, scatter diagram, flow chart, and run chart should be determined of how the data can be captured. The source of data mostly coming from the process of inspection and added with the previous knowledge of the production system. The inspection process can be designed using an automated process such as the use of sensors and cameras. The digital image processing has been used to simplify the process and using an efficient required tool. The inspection variables for the seven tools are attached to the image captured through a value interpolation mechanism. The additional step is to identify the required component for the designed system such as camera, conveyor, part or product handling and subsequent action to handle the rejected product. Following the proposed methodology that has been used for designing the intelligent inspection system for various type of product will have a robust and suitable system to align with quality control procedures.

    In today’s global business environment, quality cannot be under estimated or overlooked by any firm, whether it is a manufacturing firm or a service firm, regardless of its size or assets. The challenge for business today is to produce quality products efficiently and in a cost effective manner. Quality management is concerned with the understanding of the principles of total quality that allows the organization to become more effective and competitive in its performance characteristics viz; cost efficiency, quality, dependability and flexibility. Firm promotes a positive attitude by adopting or approaching to cultivate supplies and customers and to stay close to firm for total benefit. It has become a global approach for restructuring business processes and seeking continuous business improvements. The customers have gained renewed focus and unprecedented competitive processes have become the norm. Total quality management is essentially about the development of an ideology, a philosophy, method of actions that are designed to satisfy customers completely, through continuous improvement. The total quality philosophy is an approach that focuses all of the resources of an organization or the continues and simultaneous improvement of both quality and productivity. The purpose of total quality approach is to continually improve the organization’s performance and in turn competitiveness. To support develop and adhere a process of continuous improvement it is needless for and organization to use a selection of tools and techniques. Some of the tools and techniques are simple while some are more complex. The tools and techniques, along with management practices and the organizational infrastructure are fundamental components of total quality management. However, one should not view quality management only from tool based perspective and fail to see the management practices and infrastructure required to make use of these tools successfully. When used properly, these tools and techniques are powerful and effective in helping organization to design products and processes and to identify and solve quality problems that will ultimately lead to better customer value and operational performance. Top management have a vital role to play in implementing total quality management for overall global welfare. Well-developed tools and approaches are available. They have to deploy tools effectively with a knowledge involvement and commitment. Researchers have used FISH BONE DIAGRAM and PROCESS FLOW ANALYSIS Tool. All the Hypothesis are validated and conclusion meets with the required objectives.

    Whilst social, economic, environmental and operational variables have often received attention in improving freight performance, there still exists a silent absence of deep-rooted frameworks on constructing reliability models to quantify the quality of surface urban freight transportation operations, particularly road and rail transport. In view of such paucity, the target of this study is to attempt the development of workable models, elaborating the menace of non-value added variables in appraising the severity of incompliance effects in desired quality of freight operations. The introduction of the controllability capability of organizations in overcoming the events and consequences of freight schedule disruptions can strongly assist in streamlining the quality of road freight management. In doing so, a reliable quality priority number is proposed. The considered variables were found capable of improving effectiveness in freight management.

    The frequency of fire disasters is fortunately low, but planning the logistics and related routings for rescue, relief, and rehabilitations operations are major issues in launching any humanitarian assistance. In addition to the logistics planning issues, the reasons for the occurrence of the fire disasters should also be determined so that measures may be put in place to prevent future disasters as well as any potential consequences that may occur after the fire is extinguished. Most cities have efficient fire departments quipped with resources and fire brigades to initiate immediate measures to control the fire and to start the rescue operation. Moreover, most governments take steps to provide relief and rehabilitation assistance to the affected population. Rescue, relief, and rehabilitation steps in traffic-congested cities, especially in heavily populated areas with many businesses and markets, are highly challenging. This research proposes a mathematical modeling-based approach for planning the transportation of relief and rescue resources; conducting relief and rescue operations; and outlining measures to prevent future recurrences. The model will be illustrated using the chemical explosion-fed fire which occurred on February 20, 2019 in the old part of Dhaka in Bangladesh.

    Monotonous product providing of fresh e-retailer is difficult to meet consumers' higher demand for fresh agricultural products and related service, which means fresh e-retailer needs to make innovation through cooperation to improve the quality of fresh agricultural products and services. Taking the cooperation between Yiguo(fresh e-retailer) and Xiachufang (online social community platform) as a typical case, we collect multiple sources of related data and use ground theory approach to process it. Through data analysis, we show how fresh e-retailer realizes her business model innovation in a complementary way based on consumers' demand. Moreover, we obtain four elements (value proposition, key resources, key processes, profit model) of fresh e-retailer complementarity business model. The value proposition is realized by providing customized fresh agricultural products and services or carrying out content marketing strategy. Key resources needed by fresh e-retailer and her partners mainly includes fresh supply chain resources and social networking operation resources. Key processes based on key resources consist of consumers' demand expression, consumers' demand acquisition and consumers' demand satisfaction. Profit model, the evidence of value acquisition realization, is optimized by innovating revenue pattern and adjusting cost structure. On this basis, the operation mechanism has been induced by analyzing the interrelationship of the four elements deeply.

    The large amount of clams and seaweed has not been managed very well by local small medium enterprise (SME). Supply chain management is kind of a system that arrange the flow of material, information and money between suppliers to end customers. Kerula is blended product of Clam and Seaweed (kerang and rumput laut, Kerula). The problem is determining risk in supply chain at SME in Sumberasih Sub-district Probolinggo East Java, is not able to process the clams and seaweed into food products which is interested by the indigenous people. The purpose of this research is to identify supply chain of Kerula product in SME in Sumberasih Sub-district, and to overcome the problem of risk management and increase the added value in the supply chain of Kerula product by using data collection methods such as observation, literature study, interviews, and questionnaires involved. This research use data collection then the data is processed by using FMEA which contains three parameters, namely severity, occurrence and detection. This method provides solutions for supply chain management that integrate the elements to reduce and minimize the risks. This SME in Sumberasih Sub-district has one supply chain network which is supplier, agents, shop and customers. The result from FMEA method means that to improve the implementation of supply chain management in Sumberasih Sub-district can be done with handling the risks that occurs when the selection of raw materials, storage and so on. The maximum RPN is 448 that means difficulties in selling products. This research correspond to the previous research.

    The high frequency of shipping in Indonesia causes an increasing port activities. This is related to the increased risk or accidents that can occur. The impact of an accident can be detrimental to many parties such as crew, company, ship, cargo carried, and environment. The high number of accidents encourages companies to apply the Business Continuity Management (BCM) system to deal with any potential accident that will occur. BCM includes Business Continuous Plans (BCP) that can handle every potential accident in a company. Several stages in conducting risk assessment are: identification of each risk that is in PT. X, a harbor tug shipping company in Indonesia, grouping each risk, and conducting risk assessment with best worst method (BWM). In undertaking risk identification, systematic questionnaire and interviews were used. The results of the risk assessment based on BCP found that the risk of experiencing a deviation in stages from the highest is: a tugboat collision with a value of 0.61; changes in customer tastes with a value of 0.45; engine failure on ships with a value of 0.45; and the availability of delayed parts with a value of 0.39. Therefore, this study may conclude that the highest deviation value or risk level of this entity is tugboat collision.

    A core issue in supply chain management is how independent decision makers in many tiers could work together, and how this joint work could be governed. However, in supply chain risk management (SCRM), focus has mostly been on how “focal private companies” apply SCRM processes to identify, analyse and mitigate risk related to upstream and downstream flows in their supply network. The purpose of this study is to develop the term supply chain risk governance with a corresponding conceptual framework that captures all types of supply chains and involved actors. Based on a cross-disciplinary literature study, we dissect, compare and combine risk governance with inter-organisational aspects of SCRM. Focus is on the context of societal critical infrastructures and its governance to increase resilience.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410248
    In this paper we consider central procurement of a commodity under stochastically evolving and correlated price and demand processes, as well as the timing and quantity of allocation to demand locations. Buying and selling commodities are becoming operational decisions for many sectors. As commodity prices randomly evolve over time, and due to dependencies between demand and price processes, a better understanding of the joint price and demand risks involved in these decisions has academic as well as practical relevance. We employ multi echelon inventory theory methods, and stochastic processes commonly used in financial engineering and operations management literature. We obtain optimal centralized order quantity, and optimal allocation of this quantity among locations, up to a verifiable allocation assumption. We present structural results on the optimal timing of stock allocation. We give a novel interpretation of the allocation quantities in terms of the allocation of forecasted budget (that is, the forecast of demand multiplied by the future price) for satisfying the demand. The research considered explains the effectiveness of procurement alliances or centralized procurement activities for an exchange-traded commodity. We present optimality results that generalize available multi-echelon inventory theory findings for such a commodity under randomly evolving and correlated purchase price and demand process. This implies that by employing standard operations management tools and techniques along with financial engineering models, decision makers can obtain easy to apply guidelines for ordering and centrally allocating a commodity. We obtain bounds on the benefits obtained by using the suggested approach. With respect to the timing of the allocation, we present conditions for which the allocation is either delayed as much as possible, or each demand location should place an order separately.

    In the past, pharmacists were focusing on product compounding and dispensing. Nowadays, pharmacy profession has moved from a product-oriented to patient-oriented with multidisciplinary team, which required reduction of pharmacist’s workload and rely on Automated Dispensing System (ADS) to reduce those workloads. Investing on the ADS has a financial risk. It is suggested to evaluate its performance before implement. Simulation models are developed to investigate possible risks and expect highest benefits from the investment. The aim of this study is to develop a simulation model for investigate the implementation factors and design new business processes for implementing the ADS. This research is conducted at the Out-Patient Department of public hospital under Ministry of Higher Education Science Research and Innovation (HESRI) with special administration system by firstly modeling an Integration Definition for Function Modeling (IDEF0). Then it would be beneficial to analyze workflow and implementing simulation models by Arena software version 16 to predict the situations on different assumptions to get the most suitable situation. This study focuses on two performance indicators, dispensing time which the hospital target is patients received medicine within 10 minutes, and pharmacist workforce. The results showed that the dispensing time, which achieve the target and full time equivalent (FTE) of pharmacist of ADS model 1 and ADS model 2 were 99.31%, 99.18% and 9.01, 12.16 respectively. Compared to the current system, only 94.5% of patients achieve targets and required 26.4 FTE of pharmacists. In summary, both model 1 and 2 can reduce dispensing time and pharmacist workforce.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410214
    Inventory management and transportation are the main activities in supply chains that generate carbon emissions in many industries. The industries will produce carbon emission significantly to keep maintaining their item well, especially deteriorating items. Recently, many researchers focus on reducing carbon emissions regarding carbon policy that set in the industries. This study considers supply chain coordination between single supplier and buyer, mixing with Vendor Managed Inventory system to manage inventory decision considering carbon emission and imperfect quality deteriorating items. The transportation scenario of supplier delivering the product to the buyer using two different cases, the first is when the supplier transports the products by single-setup-single-delivery policy, and the second is single-setup-multiple-delivery policy. Carbon emission cost is also calculated under carbon tax policy. The aim of this study is to minimize the total cost and reduce the total carbon emission considering the optimum delivery quantity and the number of deliveries per production cycle. Numerical example and the sensitivity analysis will be provided to show the solution of the proposed model.

    Business and supply chain management strategy has a significant importance, and calls for serious research attention in recent years. The aim of this study is to propose an integrated approach to determine the most suitable supply chain programs, based on Sensitivity Analysis (SA) and Multi-Objective Linear Programming model (MLP). All programs are evaluated through five criteria (productivity, quality, cost, time and feasibility). Sets of weight of these criteria are built by using Sensitivity Analysis. Multi-Objective Linear Programming model is applied to select suitable strategic actions according to multiple conflicting objectives under a budget constraint. A case study from the Sai Gon-Mien Tay Beer Company is given to illustrate the proposed methodology.

    SPD, in term of supply chain management, is abbreviated from Supply, Processing and Distribution management. This model is first published about its application in healthcare segment. It is a new model which incorporates processes of supply-procurement, inventory management and material processing and distribution to unify hospital logistics management to enhance hospital supply chain management effectiveness. This adaptable model is successfully adopted and continuously developed by Japanese and Chinese Hospitals as the internal-hospital department function with suggestion about the adjusted application for more flexibility and corresponding to actual hospitals situations. In Thailand, SPD model is usually used in network of private hospitals and each hospital outsources 3PL to handle these activities in its department of inventory management. Though 3PLs are able to perform logistics functions well with their expertise, in practice, they still face some inevitable problems because each-site has to separately perform logistics activities by itself. With its competitive advantage, flexibility and some internal-hospital practice constraints, this paper aims to design potential external-hospital SPD models managed by 3PLs for the private hospital network in Thailand. The results, nine potential models are constructed which could be the 3PLs’ improvement opportunities in appropriate adoption for their contexts.

    CGD Dry Port is a dry port that uses rail transportation mode as facilities of container transporter for the distribution of goods between regions. Control of Over Dimension Over Loaded (ODOL) has an impact on increasing demand for delivery the goods at the CGD Dry Port mainly demand delivery of goods. CGD Dry Port hasn’t been able to handle the demand delivery of cargo in full. This research aims to determine the factors that can affect the delivery volume and design improvement to improve the delivery volume using system dynamics simulation. The study commences by problem identification, model conceptual design, stock-flow diagram development, implement base case simulation, validate model, and improvement scenario plan. It is found that the delivery volume of KS products influences the Non-KS delivery volume. The total capacity of delivery is affected by the capacity of carriages container and delivery patterns. The GD 54 type carriage container has improved by our simulation. It was originally 48 tons, then becomes to 49 tons. Thus, we enhance the pattern of delivery into 20 times in a month, which has initially been 15 times. Based on the results of the improvement scenario, the average delivery volume of amount reaches 7476,48 tons/month in which the existing conditions amount only 3227 tons/month. Hence, the estimated income goes up until IDR 388.230.336/month in compare to the current revenue of IDR 164.917.505/month.

    In the development of the national logistics system, Indonesian’s government planned to build two international ports in Kuala Tanjung and Bitung to support the increasing volume of export and import containers. This development aims to make Indonesia no longer depend on the ports of neighboring countries. Currently, the international cargos are shipped from Indonesian ports to Port of Singapore as an international hub applying hub and spoke network concept. According to the “Sea Tollway” program, vessels with a fixed schedule are assigned to serve these networks. The long shipping routes followed by several problems, including vessel inefficiency caused by demand imbalance between each port. These imbalances are the effect of trade disparities between west and east region of Indonesia. For route with these characteristics, the network and fleet planning are important factors to improve efficiency that has a direct impact on minimizing shipping cost. In this research, we analyze the fleet planning for routes serving international container shipping from six main domestic and two international hub ports in Indonesia, which are Belawan, Tanjung Priok, Tanjung Perak, Banjarmasin, Makassar, Sorong, Kuala Tanjung, and Bitung. We developed the linear programming model modified from the Feeder Network Design Problem (FNDP). To choose the right vessel size for the routes, we added utilization as a factor that must be considered in the model. Finally, by solving the model we get the optimal vessel size and quantity for each route.

    Whenever a disaster happens in Indonesia, there are many personal donators want to help, either transferring money or buy the donated goods at their respective place then deliver the goods to the disaster area, even though sometimes separated by an island. The objective of this paper is to suggest the online donation platform as the single gateway will be handled by Indonesian National Disaster Management Authority called BNPB according to of three metrics of the humanitarian supply chain: efficiency, equity, and efficacy. Anyone who wants to donate just opens the platform using the smartphone and desktop not only in Indonesia but all over the world and click the donation goods item that already decided by BNPB, put on the cart and do the donation fare. The platform also shows accuracy the quantity status of each donation goods, in order to prevent out of stock or overstock to match the need of survivor. The donation fare transferred directly to BNPB’s bank account which is a government institution to maintain transparency. For procurement and distribution wise, BNPB can prepare the donated goods from the nearest place by the impact location to keep effective, equity and efficacy. The platform will also show the donated goods status which already distributed to the last mile. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with data collection by interviewing humanitarian actors and site visit. The result shows the idea of online platform humanitarian logistics is very promising in dealing with the Indonesia archipelago nation, but also can be applied worldwide.

    Setting the prices for products is an essential approach for retailers to define their business success. However, there is a high uncertainty that characterizes pricing decisions. Interdependent behavior between retailer and customers making it hard to analyze the effect of a pricing strategy on retailers. The complexity increases when the customer behavior can be influenced by pricing strategies implemented by the competitors. This study examines the impact of pricing strategies on retailers by using agent-based simulation. The pricing strategies investigated are related to price promotion, which is defined based on the promotion frequency and the level of the price cut. Two types of agent are defined in the model, namely retailer and customer. The customers have a particular buying preference and a dynamic utility function, while the retailers apply either a similar pricing strategy (homogeneous agents) or different strategies (heterogeneous agents). A functional product market is considered, which represents items that are bought regularly for daily needs, such as foodstuff and toiletries. Preliminary results presented in this paper are reported for the purpose of illustration. These show that the bounded-rationality of each agent drives the emergent outcomes, and each pricing strategy results in a different impact on retailers, in terms of market share. The contribution of this study is to offer a new point of view in understanding the impact of pricing strategies on retailers.

    Culture of Quality (COQ) is regarded as an important component of TQM however this is a relatively new theme, compared to other concepts in the quality management domain. However, literature resources on this topic are relatively scarce and there is a lack of empirical validation of the COQ framework. This study therefore aims to investigate the dimensions of the COQ and the role it plays in an organization to improve its performance. A set of hypotheses are proposed and empirically tested based on the 120 survey responses from mostly from Asian region. Findings show that COQ dimensions; leadership emphasis, message credibility, peer involvement and employee ownership encourage better employee performance. The study addresses an important research gap by empirically investigating the COQ dimensions and suggesting that from an employee perspective, organizational performance can be accelerated through quality culture management.

    Information and communication technologies are important logistics strategies to gain and maintain customer loyalty and to successfully implement a strategic logistics plan. SMEs long-term growth and continuity depend on the ability to cope effectively with surprises and radical changes in logistics technology. Therefore, to consider how to improve the quality of logistics service without considering the impact of information technology would be to omit from the theoretical framework one of the most important tools for controlling consistency, improving efficiency, improving logistics operations, facilitating collaboration among suppliers, promoting effective decision-making and allowing for the automation of many routing logistics activities that modern business has at its disposal. The aim of this study is to investigate the implementation of logistics information technology in mitigating logistics challenges among SMEs in vanderbijlpark. This research used a quantitative method of data collection and analysis. The data were statistically analysed using SPSS (25.0) as well as SMART-PLS (3.0) software for structural equation modelling (SEM) to assess the measurement reliability and the research structural model. The statistical results generated from the 131 SMEs that participated indicated that the absence of logistics information technology can increase boththe internal and external logistics challenges. However, its implementation can result into greater knowledge and visibility across the logistics chain as well as streamlined order processing and reduced lead times. Hence this research is significant.

    Recently, a growing interest in achieving sustainability development goals in business has increased in a way that challenging decision makers in seeking sustainable sourcing considering economic, environmental and social aspects. A hybrid fuzzy TOPSIS-fuzzy multi objectives optimization model was developed to solve supplier selection and order allocation problem in a three-echelon supply chain considering sustainability aspects. The objectives include minimization of expected costs, environmental impact and travel time and maximization of social impact. Fuzzy TOPSIS was employed to evaluate suppliers’ performance vis-a-vis traditional, green and social criteria. The obtained performance score was then integrated into the fuzzy multi-objective model. Then, a set of Pareto solutions was derived by using the LP-metrics method. The developed fuzzy TOPSIS-fuzzy multi- objective model was validated on a three-echelon meat supply chain. This study has considered several sustainability oriented-criteria in sourcing. The research outcome revealed significant managerial and practical implications of the sourcing optimization model.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410200
    Applying Blockchain Technology (BCT) for information sharing in the supply chains is driven by many factors, but developing trust is one of the most proposed. Trust is a multidimensional intangible concept without clear agreement of what it constitutes, and its meaning get even more confused in a supply chain management (SCM) context. The purpose of this paper is to understand how applying BCT in SCM can influence trust. In the literature, there are some findings that address trust and BCT but they are very scattered, only some related to SCM but many related to financial applications. Thus, our method used is a systematic literature review, based on a conceptual framework of trust we developed. We discovered a great gap in linking trust (and related theories) to BCT applications in SCM. This paper gave insights on the reciprocal nature of trust as well as the influence of applying BCT in SCM. In current literature, trust is highly expected as a consequence for BCT if we are considering trust in the technology. At the same time, trust is highly expected to be an antecedent for applying BCT in terms of trust in SC partners represented by openness of information sharing. Important future research agenda is to enrich the results by using empirical studies.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm410207
    Effective route cycle design and assignment of vehicles in a fresh fruit and vegetable delivery network is of major importance since it contributes to a significant amount of transportation cost in the supply chain. Manual vehicle routing is a complex task due to geographical dispersion of customers, delivery time windows, vehicle capacity and delivery volume constraints. The objective of proposed method is to design an algorithm and develop a computer program which minimizes the total cost of travelled distance adhering to aforementioned constraints. When constructing the model, a background study has been conducted on the operations of the 3PL service provider and defined the objective function subjected to constraints. Inputs and outputs of the model have been defined to derive the cost formulas and then the vehicle routing and scheduling algorithm was designed. The model was proposed to a single depot distributing fruits and vegetables to multiple customer locations having deterministic demand. Routes are directed with known origin and destination where the route cycle is fixed once the journey begins. The study proposes an automated vehicle routing solution comprised of vehicle capacity utilization, departure time assessment and vehicle route assignment components. The total cost calculation formula is derived considering both direct costs and opportunity costs. It utilizes the cost per distance, cost of time window violations and cost of empty space of contracted fleet. The proposed solution was validated by comparing with the manual assignment of a 3PL service provider supplying fresh produce to supermarkets. The proposed method resulted in 26% total cost reduction and 40% reduction in total distance travelled.

    This paper presents a warehouse optimization model based on a simulation software. The warehouse in study belongs to a leading logistics company in Vietnam and it aimed to increase order fulfilment productivity by 50% without further space expansion. The research team conducted onsite observation over three-month period. Current practice included random storage practice and lacking optimized picking route per order or multiple ones had been employed, hence resulting in low productivity in order fulfilment. Picking sequence was not optimized for minimum traveling and picking time. Picking process took up to 70% of total processing time of an order. Using a self-customized warehouse operation simulation called Anylogic, the team suggested several optimal picking sequences and batch picking for immediate improvement to the order picking process. For the long run, zone picking, hot-pick area, and pick sequencing are also recommended.

    Implementing Lean Thinking in a certain manufacturing system give the recommendation of waste elimination. The recommendation that contains waste elimination action requires further analysis of its benefit, technical preparation, and financial consequences. The previous common approach such as severity, occurrence, and detection analysis has not yet convinced the company to directly follow the recommendation as further consideration need be taken. The proposed method in this paper, offer a further analysis to complete the recommendation based on each waste characteristic. First, benefits analysis provides the procedures of evaluation based on availability, performance, and quality as the element of overall equipment effectiveness. Benefit analysis matrix providing of how to describe the relationship between waste and availability, performance and quality variable. Next, technical preparation analysis consists of subsequent identification of man, machine, method and material. Technical preparation matrix requires information on how the resources should be identified to conduct the waste implementation action. Then, financial consequences consider both potential revenue and implementation cost. Financial matrixes have the relationship value between the revenue variable and implementation cost element. Finally, the matrixes will be summarized in the overall matrix in order to have the action rank or priority. The result of implementing this method in 3 types of companies vary in how to gather accurate data to fulfill the required value within each matrix. However, a complete set of analysis is suitable to be taken for a final decision.

    Transformation in logistics is driven and shaped by a wide range of innovations. Innovations range from new products, services, processes and technologies to new organizational structures and can lead to significant economic, ecological and social impacts. While innovations certainly drive change within the logistics industry, it is difficult to accurately predict which particular innovations will actually have a substantial impact on value chains. Various indicators can be utilized to anticipate change. This work puts the focus on the frequency an innovation is debated among the logistics community. Therefore, presentations at Austrian events targeted at the logistics community are analyzed with a deductive content analysis. The systematic analysis is based on a framework, which considers business, technology, people and ecology as major dimensions and includes important key topics of innovation. Results confirm that the mega-trend digitalization is in the center of attention. While the dimensions technology and business dominate the agendas of logistics events, people- and ecology-oriented topics play a rather subordinate role. The presented approach offers indicators which can be used to focus on a selection of innovations. This can help managers and researchers to reduce complexity within the vibrant field of logistics-related innovations. Results also should be of particular interest to teachers in logistics to define future-oriented curricula based on the estimated potential innovations will have in the future.

    Product variety management is a multi-faceted field built on the contributions from the marketing, economics, and operations management domains. Product Variety can be introduced for strategic purpose or for increasing the market share. However, with the increasing variety may also come increasing costs and customer confusion due to difficulty in distinguishing products from one another. Many CEO’s would like to reduce product variety, but fail to implement it in their organization or meet difficulties in implementing the reduction of product variety in the pace and to the degree they would prefer. The aim of this paper is to identify the most important challenges in the implementation of a product portfolio simplification strategy, analyzing the barriers found in the literature and, based on a case study, identifying new barriers not yet described in literature. Product Variety Management and stock keeping unit (SKU) rationalization are highly researched subjects both from an academic and a practitioner vantage point. Different case studies and research project studied the impact of an assortment reduction. Nevertheless, a collection of the main barrier in the implementation of a product variety management strategy is not present in the academic literature. We found that the main barriers are not only related to the business and organizational context, but they are deeply affected by the culture and the personality of the people involved in the implementation of the SKU rationalization strategy. The contribution of this project is a list of barriers that can be used by managers as a guide for implementing a SKU rationalization. Such an overview would reveal where the management should focus attention and resources in order to overcome skepticism and even resistance in the implementation of the strategy. This research indicates which aspects should be considered more in the further research on SKU reduction. The case study provided additional barriers not considered in the literature.

    Abstract Cite
    As the biggest cement manufacturer company in Indonesia, Company-A utilizes all potential resources and competencies across operational, production, marketing and strategic level. Every function has a set of strategy based on balanced score card (BSC) framework, covers micro to macro level tasks, to achieve optimum performance. However, the company finds some unpredictable risks that can affect the business process. It drives to the need of appropriate risk management function, and Enterprise Risk Management Office (ERMO) was well established by then. ERMO has to define the potential situations, and analyse it using a wider perspective. They should design a comprehensive framework and policies, develop a risk register list, analyse the corporate risk and find the best way to deal with it. The implementation of risk management in this company is also properly monitored then being evaluated to find the right improvement strategy for the following works. At the initial study, it is known that company A has determined the big picture strategy and set the policies, but they do not have a proper risk mapping. Thus, this study aims to provide a risks map according to ISO 31000 and consider department’s key performance indicator and some future challenges. An appropriate risk catalog is proposed to help ERMO of other cement industry in managing risks and decide the right mitigation actions by then.

  111. EFFECT OF RECYCLING IN AN IMPERFECT PRODUCTION SYSTEM WITH ACCEPTANCE QUALITY LEVEL DEPENDENT DEVELOPMENT COST
    • Shyamal Kumar Mondal
    Abstract Cite
    In most of the research works, on closed-loop supply chain production inventory model consisting of a virgin raw material supplier, a manufacturer, a retailer and a collector,remanufacturing and manufacturing processes have been considered in subsequent manner which produce same quality of product. Again, in some papers single product with different qualities have been considered that leads to lost sale situation. Moreover, in some papers, the quality of the remanufactured items made by the used product is considered as lower quality items than newly manufactured one made by the virgin raw material. But, in reality, less acceptance quality level of the used product needed more development cost to become new one which has not been yet studied. So to make the paper more realistic, in this model, (i) the manufacturer incorporates both the manufacturing and remanufacturing processes simultaneously to overcome lost sale situation and (ii) the acceptance quality level dependent development cost of the remanufactured items have been considered. Again, due to long run process, malfunctioning of the production system increases. So both the manufacturing and remanufacturing processes produce some defective items which are reworked within the same cycle. With these consideration, a mathematical model has been developed and solved using sequential and global optimizations. It reveals from numerical studies that the joint total profit in case of global optimization is higher than sequential optimization.
