Abstract:

The mutual discovery of collaborative business between companies has great impacts on the efficiency and cost of collaborative logistics.This paper deals with the discovery method by data matching of collaborative transportation business. A match model is proposed to enable the collaborative transportation business to match automatically. The match between shipments and vehicles depends on the matching of operation dates, the origin and destination, type and amount of goods, size of goods. The detailed match corresponding algorithm is developed. A toolkit was developed based on web data to validate the algorithm. It is indicated that this model and the toolkit decreases search effort of partners on looking for their interested business and improves the efficiency of using business data.

Abstract:

In the logistics and distribution of goods, the expedition service is necessary, because the expedition is an important part of a business that has a strong attachment to the distribution. The number of deliveries from an expedition per period is uncertain, sometimes the number increases or decreases. This may result in an imbalance between existing facilities and employees and the number of shipments from customers or company policies. To overcome this, required forecasting techniques that are able to predict total shipments, as well as predict which goods and products are the most widely sent. The moving average method using the last 5 period data is used as a way of forecasting. MAPE (Mean Absolute % Error) is used as a test method, and a result of 34 %, indicates that the method is feasible to use.

Abstract:

The transition to a digital economy is becoming a key driver of GDP growth. This is due not only to the effect obtained from the automation of existing processes, but also from the introduction of new, breakthrough business models and technologies, including digital platforms, digital ecosystems, in-depth analytics of big data, Industry 4.0, Logistics 4.0. At the same time, digital transformation is seen as a radical change in the complex of business processes, from product development to customer service, as well as the introduction of modern digital technologies in the organization of business processes in enterprises. The purpose of the article is to analysis the features and trends of organizing logistics activities in the context of digital transformation of business processes; research of the main prerequisites for the formation of the Logistics 4.0 concept; determination of priority directions for its further development in the context of Industry 4.0. Based on the generalization of scientific approaches, the definition of the concept of "Logistics 4.0" has been clarified, which means the modern paradigm of managing logistic (material, financial, information, transport) flows and organizing a complex of logistics activities (purchase and delivery of material resources, warehousing, production, stock formation, recycling of industrial waste, customer service, transportation and sale of finished products) using breakthrough digital technologies and information systems. The priority areas of organizing the logistics activities of enterprises using digital technologies include the following: multichannel logistics; logistics marketplaces; rethinking the use of packaging; mass personalization; Silver Economy (new services for older clients and new opportunities for older workers); sustainable logistics; sharing economy; multi-supply; customer experience; smart containerization; big data analytics; augmented and virtual reality; cloud service applications and APIs; Internet of Things; robotics and automation; new generation wireless communication; blockchain; Artificial Intelligence; unmanned aerial vehicles or "drones"; 3D printing; unmanned vehicles; quantum computing; supergrid logistics; space logistics; the use of digital platforms that unite customers and transport and logistics companies (the parties can enter into digital contracts, exchange transport booking requests and electronic documents, control the delivery of goods in real time). All this can help to reduce costs by optimizing procurement; decrease in personnel costs and decrease in labour costs as a result of automation; reduction of errors in logistics; optimization of the supply process; efficient warehouse management; forecasting shipments; creation of optimal routes; operational planning of loads and control of delivery times; ensuring product delivery on time, improving customer loyalty; optimal interaction with customers on the "last mile".

Abstract:

Logistics is the movement of goods from one place to other.Freight forwarders play a major role in logistics operations.The main objective of the freight forwarders is to dispatch the shipments via carriers. Forwarder has the ability to arrange cargo movement from one destination to another within a short limit of time.It is tough for a company to ship goods at a normal price without a forwarder. Forwarders are having a long-term relationship with carriers and obtain good deals in the least possible time. The forwarding operations and company strategy differ from one company to another, by providing different value-added services. Customer satisfaction plays an important role in business. The present study aimed to find out the challenges faced by freight forwarders in their operations. Due to various factors, they face challenges and that could be the reason for their failures. In some cases, due to hindrance, they may not be able to satisfy the customer needs. The major challenges faced are due to government policies and regulation (GST), importers or exporters, port authorities, warehousing of the goods, red tapism of insurance companies, customs clearance, liner companies, infrastructure problems etc. The study involves both primary and secondary data. A well-structured Questionnaire prepared to elicit the data from the freight forwarders. Sample size identified is 50 forwarders. The study is concluded by giving the ways to ways to overcome the challenges faced by the Freight Forwarders.

Abstract:

Special event logistics covers a broad area from concerts, trade fairs, to public gatherings and beyond. This qualitative research is looking at special event logistics from a technical logistics management standpoint. The paper focuses on the logistics issues of the geopolitical events of the so called Shut down of Bangkok in 2014. The paper does not address the political issues surrounding the events and takes a neutral position only focusing on the technical logistics elements of the special event. Geopolitical special events are different as they involve thousands of volunteers at various levels of engagement over a more or less undetermined period of time with very fluid dynamics of the event. The emotions of the volunteers and participants are running high as it involves political and ideological viewpoints and therefore provides a high tension high pressure environment with a great level of uncertainty and risk. Supply chain risk management (SCRM) takes on a new meaning in the context of special events. Security is a major issue which goes beyond normal SCRM and business continuity planning. There needs to be access and crowd control as well as VIP and critical infrastructure protection. The logistics issues that need to be addressed include: site selection and preparation down to site dissolution, various sorts and types of assets and supplies from numerous and often daily varying sources need to be mobilized and demobilized. Infrastructure has to be provided and in some cases created including public utilities such as electricity, water, sewer, phone, fax, internet and mobile telephones, cable, wireless networks, satellite up and down links, to ATM machines which have to be brought to the site. Food and beverages (F&B) services range from drinking water to feeding thousands to special diets for vegetarians, Buddhist monks and Muslim participants. Storage on-site and off-site involves coldsupply chain (CSC) as well as perishable items and bulk items ranging from less than a truck load (LTL) to large bulk shipments. Audio visual (AV) services and multi-media needs to be covered both on a close circuit (CCTV) network for the site as well as national and international news and media coverage. There are also the demand planning and transportation issue, goods and people have to be transported to and from and in between often multiple venues which adds to the complexity.

Abstract:

The case describes the journey of TCS as it became Pakistan’s leading logistics service provider. It highlights how and when TCS acquired different logistics and other value-adding capabilities and how these capabilities, in turn, complimented the diverse logistics services that TCS offered to a wide variety of businesses. TCS had been offering a top-notch Express and Logistics service around Pakistan for 30 years. TCS started as a company providing secure distribution of letters and packages. Customers perceived TCS as a shipping solution provider for all their goods transportation needs which included parcels, documents, E-commerce products and even their groceries. Table 1 of the case study highlights that TCS had taken up some unique and new initiatives. TCS handled four main clientele areas: Corporate, Consumer, International and E-commerce. For consumer wing, TCS oversaw bookings of documents and parcels at the express centres, door-to-door containerized shipments, domestic and international air ticketing, visa application drop box facility for various countries and financial services in the form of insurance plans. On the corporate side, TCS provided warehousing and distribution, digital printing and bulk mail solutions. International and e-commerce both catered consumer and corporate segments. Over the last decade, TCS had established a warehousing and distribution wing and a mail management and printing facility. Other ventures and services that TCS offered were Visatronix, Hazir, Home Movers, E-COM, TCS Aviation, Mail Management System, Warehouse and Distribution, Intiana, Sentiments express and Octra. The case focusses on the decision of whether or not to run an ambitious new logistics service, that is, Hazir SubKuch (HSK), meant to deliver anything non-prohibited that a customer wanted, on a crowdsourcing model. In the proposed crowdsourcing model, after training and evaluation, anyone could assume the role of a customer service provider by connecting to the system remotely. Similarly, pickup and delivery jobs could be performed under an Uber-like model by anyone who owned a ride and had smartphone connectivity. The service was a brainchild of the new CEO, hired by the founder and chairman as part of the new management team to bring a fresh dynamism in the company.

Abstract:

The physical distribution of goods is one of the key success factors in fast moving markets. Many companies are involved in the search for efficient distribution alternatives, as the lead times for customer order fulfillment need to be shortened while the costs and risks of warehousing need to be minimized. Merge‐in‐transit is a distribution model where several shipments originating at different dispatching locations are consolidated into one customer delivery, without inventories at the consolidation points. This removes the need for distribution warehouses in the supply chain, and allows the customers to receive complete deliveries for their orders. However, no guidelines are available for logistics managers on how to evaluate the applicability of merge‐in‐transit operations for their particular business situation. This paper presents a systematic procedure for the evaluation of merge‐in‐transit distribution in a specific supply chain of a company. The procedure is based on recent research on activity‐based costing models in distribution operations. Additionally, the paper clearly defines merge‐in‐transit and makes a distinction between it and cross‐docking with which it is often confused.

Abstract:

AbstractForecasting the demand of network of retail sales is a rather challenging task, especially nowadays where integration of online and physical store orders creates an abundance of data that has to be efficiently stored, analyzed, understood and finally, become ready to be acted upon in a very short time frame. The challenge becomes even bigger for added-value third party logistics (3PL) operators, since in most cases and demand forecasting aside, they are also responsible for receiving, storing and breaking inbound quantities from suppliers, consolidating and picking retail orders and finally plan and organize shipments on a daily basis. This paper argues that data analytics can play a critical role in contemporary logistics and especially in demand data management and forecasting of retail distribution networks. The main objective of the research presented in this paper is to showcase how data analytics can support the 3PL decision making process on replenishing the network stores, thus improving inventory management in both Distribution Centre (DC) and retail outlet levels and the workload planning of human resources and DC automations. To do so, this paper presents the case of a Greek 3PL provider fulfilling physical store and online orders on behalf of a large sporting goods importer operating a network of 129 stores in five different countries. The authors utilize the power of ‘R’, a statistical programming language, which is well-equipped with a multitude of libraries for this purpose, to compare demand forecasting methods and identify the one producing the smallest forecast error.

Abstract:

Sektor usaha logistik telah berkembang sangat pesat di Indonesia saat ini. PT. XYZ adalah sebuah perusahaan logistik yang menyediakan jasa pengiriman barang dari satu tempat menuju ke tempat yang lain. Sebagai perusahaan logistik dengan jumlah kendaraan 2.100 unit armada truk dan akan terus bertambah seiring dengan target yang dicanangkan perusahaan, dimana pada 2020 jumlah armada truk harus mencapai 6.000 unit truk. Saat ini strategi operasional logistik dihasilkan berdasarkan pengalaman dari steakholder. Hal ini tentu tidak bisa dipertanggung jawabkan secara ilmiah. Prediksi jumlah pengiriman barang harian dapat menjadi solusi dalam membantu perusahaan dalam merencanakan, memonitoring dan mengevaluasi strategi operasional logistik. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan penggabungan metode Support Vector Regression (SVR), algoritma genetika dan Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) dapat menghasilkan prediksi jumlah pengiriman barang harian dengan nilai Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) yaitu 0.0969% dengan parameter epsilon(𝜀) 1.92172577675873E-20, complexitas(𝑐) 62 dan gamma(γ) 1.0. AbstractThe logistics business sector has developed very rapidly in Indonesia today. PT XYZ is a national logistics company that provides freight forwarding services from one place to another. As a national-scale logistics company, the company is supported by a fleet of 2,100 trucks. The number of fleets will continue to grow in line with the target set by the company, namely in 2020 the number of truck fleets must reach 6,000 trucks. Currently the logistics operational strategy is produced based on stakeholder experience, this certainly causes problems in the company's overall operations. Prediction of the number of daily goods shipments can be a solution in helping companies in planning, monitoring and evaluating logistical operational strategies, based on the company's ability in the availability of a fleet of vehicles for shipping. This study proposes a combination of Support Vector Regression (SVR) methods, genetic algorithms and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) for problem solving in the prediction process, including in the selection of appropriate training data. The test results show that the combination of the three methods can produce predictions of the number of daily shipments with values of Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) 0.0969%, epsilon (𝜀) 1.92172577675873E- 20, complexity (𝑐) 62, and gamma (γ) 1.0.

Experimental tests prove that production companies, logistics, international payments and consumers can participate in the information certification of steel products via the modern information system. Consumers can understand the real product manufacturing process, effectively avoiding of the incomplete information and low transparency in the traditional information traceability process, and effectively trace the quality of steel products. The system provides an effective payments scheme for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the modern technology steel industry. Practical implications. In view of the low transparency of information traceability of current steel products and the defects of information islands, in this article the blockchain-based steel smart contract payment technology quality traceability system is developed and adopted the alliance chain mode and the new digital blockchain platform. The article describes the use of smart payment technology in a full-fledged financial transaction as a transfer funds in cryptocurrency to electronic bank accounts, as well as the transfer of commercial information, including contracts. To do this, the assets and terms of the contract are encoded and placed in the block chain, then the contract is distributed is saved on a set of network nodes and is executed after the condition is triggered. The fulfillment of the obligations of the parties is checked automatically. It is worth noting that the fact that smart contracts only react to transactions. If the asset or the currency is transferred to the program, it starts monitor compliance with the terms of the contract. How as soon as they are fulfilled, the seller receives money, and the buyer is a shipment goods. Value/originality. Blockchain technologies enable the use of business information systems that are highly resistant to technical failures and malicious attacks. Costs and time of carrying out business operations are significant.

Abstract:

Information is an important competitive tool, nowadays. Those, who dispose of them on time, gain the advantage of being able to take decisions sooner than competition. The recency and relevance of information is becoming a necessity also in the field of logistics chain management, especially the 100% traceability of the movement of shipments or goods is crucial not only for the distribution service provider but also for the customer who wants to know where his shipment or goods is. As “Industry 4.0” trends suggest, these requirements are increasingly extended to include data not only on the location of shipments, but on the identification of the owner of the goods, where the shipment was moved from and for what purpose and finally what triggered the activity. This “traceability” is based on the implementation of “perfect” information systems that must be filled with quality and correct data. In addition to data volume growing that will be generated by the various devices, same level of importance seems to be the electronic data exchange among stakeholders. The use of Automatic Identification Tools (AIDC) is the key to data collection in the field of logistics and distribution activities. The paper discusses the possibilities of implementing AIDC using RFID technology in the specific field.

Abstract:

Competitiveness, from the point of view of the company, can be defined as the ability to provide products and services in the same, or a more efficient way, than competitors do. The competitiveness of companies is, of course influenced by many factors, until recently, it was mainly the quality and price of goods or services. For some time, often appear another important factor for consumer, when choosing goods, it is the ratio of the principles of sustainable development. Due to the assumptions of companies steady growth, and taking into account the limited amount of available resources, we should mention the assumptions of sustainable development. It promotes activities, that seek to meet the needs of our generation, not crossed the needs of future generations. At the microeconomic level, the equivalent of sustainable development is the idea of socially responsible business. Companies that decide to implement its business principles of sustainable development, they are forced to accept the principle of socialized business.

Abstract:

Logistics flows in urban areas are generated by systems engaged in various business. Flows generators can be divided into typical logistics systems (logistics, distribution centers, freight terminals, logistics systems of companies, etc.), for which logistics is the core business, and other generators of city logistics (trade, hospitality, craft, service facilities etc.). These two categories of generators differ in terms of flow volume, location, infrastructure, surrounding conditions, form of goods, logistics units and consolidation system, logistics demands, goods handling, etc. In this paper, the basic differences between typical logistics systems and other generators of city logistics are analyzed, thus achieving the basic goal and contribution of paper.

There were two aspects considered for building the urban logistics time efficiency model: achieving an improved transport capacity without purchasing new vehicles, and transferring responsibility of poor shipment planning to its owners by implementing the intermodal transport success factors. The model is to establish functional relationship among the shipment distribution requests (urbanization) and urban logistics inefficiencies management (market inconsistencies), and their impact on business operations. The applicability of the proposed model was tested on urban population growth data and time inefficiencies in urban distribution. The results provide both theoretical and practical confirmation of time efficiency importance of urban logistics and potential for introduction of new intermodal solutions in urban logistics. Different case scenarios for Sarajevo prove that reducing inefficiencies in urban logistics could reduce the number of delivery vehicles by less than a half. Since the delivery vehicles are sources of pollution, the subsequent conclusion is valid for externalities levels. The model, therefore, complements the existing knowledge and represents a practical tool for urban planners and logistics professionals for creating an efficient, innovative, and integrative approach to the development of urban logistics services.

Abstract:

The cost of logistics plays a vital role in the pricing of goods in international trade. Besides, the recent imposition of additional tariff by even upper-middle income countries such as the USA, China etc., has led to an increase in the total landed cost of goods. However, a seller has no option but to adapt to changing tariff requirements and can articulate only the logistics cost to a certain extent. This aspect requires an understanding of the logistics cost dynamics in international business. Since a higher volume of goods moves by marine transportation, this study focusses on the same. In this article, authors have attempted to establish a statistically significant relationship between prices and other factors like fuel, number of vessels, freight, and weight value ratio. The paper introduces a logistics-coefficient to indicate the extent of integration of logistics activities to keep the total-landed-cost (TLC) unchanged. Finally, the author proposes the system dynamics model to study the impact of changes in any one or some or all these factors on the price of the product. This model will enable the global firm to decide the entry and exit in the market. JEL Codes: F23

Abstract:

The basic concept of general logistics and halal logistics are actually the same, the difference is that halal logistics is carried out by ensuring that processes in the supply chain separate halal cargo from non-halal cargo. This needs to be done to avoid cross-contamination and ensure that as long as the logistics system of the product is guaranteed halal, therefore halal logistics can be expressed as the application of the halal concept throughout the supply chain activities of suppliers, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation and product distribution to ensure the halal status of a product. If this is done, it will produce halal logistic output according to the standards of the customer's wishes. The research will be carried out through interviews and surveys, the results will be used to identify business processes and find out what business activities are carried out and who are the business actors involved, from the business process a business model is then created to develop ordinary logistics to halal logistics based on a Business Model. Canvass (BMC). The Business Model Canvass (BMC) consists of 9 elements, namely customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships and cost structures. The result of this research is to obtain a canvas-based halal logistics model that can be applied at PT Iron Bird, which is divided into 4 categories, namely: 1) Customers who have potential in halal logistics are industries engaged in fast moving, consumer goods, retail. , raw material and pharmacy 2) Value propositions, namely offers to customers regarding delivery that guarantees halal products, distribution to return goods or return, segregation for Less than Truck Load (LTL), re-packaging for contaminated goods, labels and documents halal, cleaning units according to standards, completeness of safety, transparency and trust, on time delivery, and costs in accordance with the services provided 3) Resources by managing main resources through a special team to handle contaminated goods, availability of vehicles, services provided , packaging for contaminated goods and labels and documents h alal 4) Financial through the services provided. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in accordance with halal logistics standards which consist of: Quality, Time, Cost and Risk.

Abstract:

The study presents the importance of logistics in deepening globalization, especially in the use of maritime transport. This transport industry is the most widely used in the international flow of goods. It was found that world-wide transport from the mid-1990s increased almost by half, which was due to the most increased shipment of general cargo (2.6 times) and container loads (2 times). If the current trends in the pace of globalization processes are maintained in the future, rapidly developing Asian countries will be the deciding factor, while the role of developed European countries and the United States will decline.

Abstract:

Raw materials and products are moved and created globally through complex supply chains. Within those supply chains, logistics is what enables the goods to move through distribution and to the end consumer. This is what motivates the researchers to examine the logistics portion of the supply chain and attempt to determine the relationship between various market forces and their impact on the cost of logistics. This will be accomplished with transformative analytics techniques, such as multivariate regression modeling, that should enable logistics managers, researchers, and others to better understand the cost of logistics services, and thus impact pricing of goods dependent on those services. In a world where logistics managers rely heavily on “gut feel”, utilizing business intelligence and analytics can better enable decision making.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to investigate how logistics outsourcing performs activities that have been traditionally carried out within the outsourcer’s company. The study examines the characteristics of logistics and transport services, which are important in cooperation with service providers. Two groups were formed according to the average values of the characteristics of logistics activities. ‘Cost, quality and response’ are important for the first group, while ‘logistics, environment and the ability to adapt to client processes’ are important for the second group. The results of the survey carried out in Slovenian enterprises show that both groups are primarily interested in express freight and shipment services, the difference lying in the understanding of logistics, mutual trust and brand recognition. The findings will be useful both in business practice and for managers, providing them with a better understanding of the performance of logistics outsourcing.

Abstract:

Today’s business environment, survival and making profit in market are the prime requirement for any enterprise due to competitive environment. Innovation and staying updated are commonly identified two key parameters for achieving success and profit in business. Considerably supply chain management is also accountable for profit. As a measure to maximize the profit, supply chain process is to be streamlined and optimized. Appropriate grouping of various suppliers for the benefit of shipment cost reduction is proposed. Data relating to appropriate attributes of supplier logistics are collected. A methodology is proposed to optimize the supplier logistics using clustering algorithm. In the proposed methodology data preprocessing, clustering and validation process have been carried out. The Z-score normalization is used to normalize the data, which converts the data to uniform scales for improving the clustering performance. By employing Hierarchical and K-means clustering algorithms the supplier logistics are grouped and performance of each method is evaluated and presented. The supplier logistics data from different country is experimented. Outcome of this work can help the buyers to select the cost effective supplier for their business requirements.

Abstract:

The total logistics cost (TLC) is the traditional expenditure-approach method of calculating the logistics cost of a supply chain as the goods are moved from the source to the end destination. This method uses the sum of all expenditure associated with the movement of goods (i.e. transport and handling), in-transit storage of goods and the generation of information to enable these movements to occur. As logistics chains become more complex and longer, calculating the TLC becomes increasingly difficult. The question that this paper answers is how to define and calculate the four logistics supply chain economic, or opportunity, cost factors of (1) physical movement (i.e. transport and handling); (2) in-transit cost of holding the stock while not available to the end customer; (3) the cost of the information needed to enable the movement; and (4) the effect of the reliability of the logistics chain on the safety stock. A practical method is developed whereby the TLC, incorporating these four aspects, is shown for a hypothetical movement. The costs highlight the total logistics opportunity cost (TLOC) for a multiple-leg voyage and the costs associated with all four aspects of the movement. The most attractive logistics supply chain would be the one with the lowest TLOC, and the choice can be made with confidence, as it incorporates the full economic logistics cost of the chain. (‘Economic cost’ and ‘opportunity cost’ are terms used synonymously in this work.)

Abstract:

Abstract In its White Paper on “A Sustainable Future of Transport”, the European Commission promoted the idea of green transport corridors (GTCs) by establishing trans-shipment routes with concentration of freight traffic between major hubs. GTCs reduce environmental and climate impact of the traffic on these relatively long distances of transport while increasing safety and efficiency with the application of sustainable logistics solutions. The Baltic Sea Region (BSR) enjoys a vanguard position in the development and realisation of green transport concepts within Europe. Already the GTC definition of the European Commission emphasized the need for a fair and non-discriminatory access to corridors and trans-shipment facilities that enable all customers to participate in the corridor and make use of publicly available benefits. Research results of GTC initiatives revealed that cultural issues, cooperation quality and governance structures play a crucial role in the acceptance and success of the GTC concept. This paper highlights the current status and discussions on business and ownership models for GTCs and investigates the research question if and to which extent can cooperative concepts be used as a base principle for GTC governance. The authors participated in some of the most important GTC projects in the BSR, which provides them in terms of methodology easy access to literature reviews, secondary data analysis, expert interviews and surveys covering the entire BSR.

Supply chains, logistics and freight have been facing increasingly complex challenges posed by transitions in economic structures, urbanization, city design and transport systems, as well as by the externalities associated with logistics activities in urban areas. This has driven a great deal of research recently. Yet, there are no sufficient contributions clarifying the current state of thought in this field. This article critically reviews the literature highlighting current approaches in the field. The objective of the article is threefold. First, to provide a framework with geographical and functional elements of urban logistics. Second, to identify the scope of the literature, vested into a typology. And third, to define the terms that may embrace the various analytical interests of the urban logistics field, namely city logistics, urban goods distribution and last mile logistics. The aim is to contribute to organize the current and future thought in the field of urban logistics.

Abstract:

The article presents studies of the logistics structure of commodity market, based on the provisions of the general parametric theory of systems (GPTS). The logistics analysis of commodity movement on the market is presented and typical scheme of goods movement on a logistic chain is offered. Considering market logistics as an organizational system, the article presents its parametric model in the form of a matrix, the elements of which are logistic entities with their connections. It is proved, that the main basic element of the matrix structure of logistics system of commodity movement is a business entity that participates in the production and promotion of goods on the market. The types of business entities, which operating in the logistics system of the commodity market, are systematized. It is determined that business entities, which are distributed in logistics chains and their links, perform certain logistics functions due to their properties. It has been proved that business entities, which can be included as elements of the matrix market structure, should have the functions of performing logistics services. The content of these services is revealed and analyzed. The use of the corresponding target function in calculating the optimal logistics chains of commodity movement in the market is substantiated. The application of this approach, based on the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) is shown. It is determined that the goal of the proposed target function, by which the value added chain is calculated, is its maximization in the supply chain. Calculations for the target function allow you to determine the optimal route of commodity movement in the market and the relevant logistics entities through which this route passes. Thus, it is proposed to organize (highlight) the most profitable logistics chains of the market, which will significantly reduce the logistics costs of commodity movement, as well as reduce the risks of logistics barriers.

Abstract:

Faced with increasing competitive pressures, a logistics company in the United States sought to reduce its cost structure by implementing two information systems. The Labor Management System (LMS) was specifically designed to improve warehouse worker efficiency and the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system tracked the movement of products, pallets, and shipment. This case presents an overview of the logistics industry, background on the business need to consider new systems, and the requirements of the company in its system selection. Details of the technologies considered are included. The reader is then faced with the challenge of analyzing the options, and making a recommendation for systems selection. After analyzing this case study, the reader should be able to: • Define logistics functions, supply chain management, and third party logistics (3PL) services • Describe LMS and RFID systems • Identify the expected costs and benefits of the proposed technologies • Develop a multi-factor evaluation for vendor selection • Make a recommendation based on the evaluation, financial data, and other considerations.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a better understanding of the factors that influence a shipper's decision to choose air cargo as a mode of shipment. Design/methodology/approach – A disaggregate multinomial discrete choice model is developed using freight shipment survey data to identify critical factors influencing air cargo mode choice. Disaggregate revealed preference data is obtained from surveying 347 manufacturers, freight forwarders, and other third-party service providers. Findings – The empirical model developed in this research shows that the rate of shipment, time of transit, cost-per-pound shipped, quantity shipped, perishability and delay rate of the mode are significant factors that influence mode choice. Research limitations/implications – The discrete choice model developed can be improved by taking into account logistics costs not considered in this research. Perhaps more in-depth surveys of the shippers and freight forwarders are needed. Additionally, improving the mode choice model by including stated preference data and subsequently incorporating service quality latent variables would be beneficial. Practical implications – Identifying the sensitivity of the shippers to various factors influencing mode selection enables transportation planners make better demand forecast for each mode of transportation. Originality/value – This paper extends previous mode choice studies by analyzing mode selection between air cargo and other modes. Better forecasting is achieved by replacing the logit model with probit, heteroscedastic extreme value and mixed logit models.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is an assessment of logistics services and tourism infrastructure in the Caribbean. The objective is to examine the efficiency and competitiveness of the logistics and tourism environment in the region. Design/methodology/approach Given the low levels of implementation of logistics services in Barbados and Jamaica, this study is exploratory, and it is hoped that future studies can build on this assessment of Barbados and Jamaica, and by extension the Caribbean. Findings Governments across the Caribbean need to recognize that the development of an effective logistics industry rests with improved technology, a proper legislative framework, the development of competent human resources and modern infrastructure development. Research limitations/implications The study was limited to Barbados and Jamaica, and so it is not representative of the rest of the Caribbean, as economies like Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic have stronger trans-shipment and cruise tourism activities. Practical implications With the low pace of logistics development in the Caribbean, the demand for logistic services, which involve planning, managing and executing the movement of goods and information within global supply chains, will continue to be largely by firms’ desire to outsource some or all logistics-related activities to specialists. Social implications The need to plan for the development of a competent and certified pool of human resources to support the development of a logistics and tourism industry is critical. This therefore requires the development of specialized skills, knowledge and the competence of a flexible and agile workforce. Originality/value The focus on Barbados and Jamaica provide an adequate picture of the logistics markets and regulatory frameworks in different contexts of the Caribbean, including an economy directly connected with the global marketplace with a relatively diversified product structure, and another less extensively connected and diversified product structure.

Abstract:

Containerization in logistics enables the products to be transported quickly within the standard conditions; however, heavy cargoes with non-standard size are still a big problem in shipment processes. This problem examines within the scope of project logistics. Project logistics are defined as the realization of the transportation of non-standard bulky and heavy materials, which cannot be transported by the standard container, in specific time period and without any damage. According to objectives of 2023, Turkey Government has committed to improve logistics infrastructure, regulations and operations in parallel with global business supply chain. Project logistics are high value-added operations in logistic sector, due to one-time logistics operation with its unique tools and methods. Turkey’ geographic advantages could be used to foster project logistics, but they are affected from external environmental factors and facing many problems as other countries. In this study, the challenges facing companies during their project logistics operations will be analyzed. In-depth interviews will be conducted with company’ executives whom are operating on project logistics in Turkey. According to field study, the main problems of project logistics operations are subtitled as physical infrastructure, legal regulations, education and economic problems. Also, in order for the sector to work effectively, main four problems must be eliminated and state-private sector coordination must be ensured.

Abstract:

In order to support National Logistics System continuity there are at least three (3) main components that should synergize well, namely the sea side (sea transport), the land side (hinterland transport) and the part that connects between the two (port). Port performance will greatly affect the performance of the national logistics system as a whole. One of the indicator of a country's logistics performance evaluation is the ease of arranging shipments of goods at competitive prices (shipment). One of the components of logistics costs which become concern of many parties is the port costs, in order to support the national high logistics cost reduction, study related to the port tariff structure and its associated regulations is needed, especially a matter to formulate and determining policy related to pricing port services. The survey and analysis will be carried out in an attempt to identified the port tariff structure as basis to determining the port pricing model. Port tariff structure analysis include the Identification of port services and cost component (user and port operator point of view). Based on the analysis of transport logistics cost, the shipping cost contribute 48%, port cost 40% and hinterland cost 12%. The port cost on the container terminal, the stevedoring costs contribute 42%, followed by the cargodoring cost 58%. It takes further analysis for stevedoring tariff and tariff lift-on / lift-off container given a large contribution to the overall cost of loading and unloading at the port. Port pricing formulation problem associated with cost (competitiveness), performance (level of services) and value added (value added to the customer), so that the best approach for determinining port cost and tariff are: (1) the first best pricing approach is MC = MR = P, (2) the second best pricing approach is LRMC. We suggest that the pricing policy for ports where tariff formulation needs to consider the external factors (currency, rates, fuel price, minimum salary and etc) and differentiated based on the level of port service. Relevant quality level of port service factors are the time in port, and the punctuality of handling the vessel and its cargo. Port Tariff = f (Cost of Goods Manufactured (production unit cost), Margin, Level of Service (LS)) and Maximum Port Tariff = 1.25 % ofproduction unit cost .

Abstract:

The gaming industry has evolved into a multi-functional smart city that combines integrated casinos and entertainment (ICE). ICE logistics involve supply chains with various stages in geographically-distributed locations and with limited and complex storage and warehouses. Challenges are to leverage demands, traffic, and storage allocation in ICE logistics. The decentralized structure of blockchain technology allows all parties to participate in ICE logistics. Its cryptography-based, immutable nature gives the assurance of security. This research deals with the design and application of blockchains in ICE logistics. We first adopt a Concentric Value Circles (CVC) model to identify the requirements and business opportunities that use blockchain technology in ICE logistics. We develop an open, automated, and transparent platform, TransICE, which utilizes the feature of smart contracts in blockchain technology and adopts a decentralized model, Hawk, where no financial transactions are stored on the blockchain to hold privacy of transactions publicly. Two cases, (1) the Shipment Pricing and Scheduling process and (2) the Pickup, Shipping and Delivery process in TransICE, are studied to illustrate the applications and feasibility of the proposed TransICE platform and the developed smart contracts of the Hawk model.

Abstract:

Abstract In general, transport companies have an unimportant role in the business market, in order to achieve the required sales and the related profit. Competition in road transport is great and enforcement from a large number of carriers is considerable. It is the price for the transport of goods that plays the most important role how to get the carrier and the customer who wants the lowest transport price. On the contrary, the carrier would like to get the highest amount for the shipment. A compromise between these two requirements should form the required shipping price. Pricing involves a factor other than costs, the attractiveness of the transport destination, in terms of the possibility of return utilization the vehicle. The aim of the paper is to verify the hypothesis, that the cost of transport is affected not only by the carrier’s costs, but also the target destination of the ordered shipment.

Abstract:

Many functions of customs are related to the movement of goods across borders, which provides a wide range of multifaceted interstate cooperation. Given that these business relationships have cross-border characteristics and operate in the area of foreign trade interests, it is clear that tariff relationships cannot be governed by one state. The customs structure is an integral part of an integrated hierarchical system of national regulation of foreign economic processes, which regulates the complexity of the required information and documentation and provides supervision of cross-border management. At the same time, in recent years, customs services, along with traditional organizations of work in the field of cross-border business management and taxation, have increasingly introduced many customs services that can be interpreted as special forms of public services. The customs department faces new challenges in the context of closely related individual segments of the world's business areas and the globalization of economic processes, which contributes to the logistics development of cross-border business in all respects. It should be borne in mind that the regulation of the trade process is inevitable in the context of changes in global economic systems that affect both the export and import of certain goods. These situations determine the high urgency of the problem, and can be resolved through a compromise between liberal and protectionist solutions.

Abstract:

China’s logistics spending was roughly 14.5% of its GDP, higher than other developing countries like India and South Africa. With economic growth slowing, there was a need for more efficient logistics systems to move production resources at lower costs so that Chinese firms could remain competitive. Kerry Logistics, a third party logistics service provider, had grown rapidly in China and by now had established business centres in 32 provinces. Although it had many foreign clients who wanted to move goods in and out of China, it had difficulty gaining the trust of local clients who wanted a logistics firm with extensive local network. Kerry also wanted a share of the booming e-commerce delivery business but the market situation here was chaotic, unregulated and in a cut-throat price war. As its business was trade driven, there was an urgency to start extending its network along China’s “Belt and Road” initiative.

Abstract:

Among main determinants of competitive advantage the integration of flow of goods and information between enterprises involved in preparation and delivery of goods to customers play a significant role. Also the scope of cooperation with specialized service providers participating in such flows is important. In response to changing conditions in the business environment adjustments of parties are made. It requires a focus on consolidation and permanent development of cooperation. Attitudes of parties and their actions can change. The objective of the article is to present determinants of changes in bilateral relations in logistics cooperation. The starting point of presentation is the characteristics of bilateral cooperative relationships. Later, factors affecting the characteristics of relationship between customer and supplier, directions of development of cooperation and conditions required in logistics relationships are also taken into consideration.

Abstract:

Logistics has evolved over the past few decades from transportation and warehousing to global Supply Chain Management (SCM). This requires the coordination of the flow of material, money and information. The velocity of doing business has increased and manual operations have been automated. Modern Logistic Information Systems (LIS) with all its logistics related sub systems are replacing muscle power with brain power and pencil and paper with smart phones and social media. The virtual aspect of logistics has become equally important to the physical realm of transportation and warehousing. Supply Chain Management (SCM) deals with getting the right stuff to the right people at the right time in the right amount. To accomplish this task there are a number of more or less integrated logistics software application. Demand forecasting models based on historical data from data marts and data warehouses with built in seasonality and pricing models. Load planning software to appropriately palletize, containerize and load trucks, trains and vessels. Route planning software with real time traffic and weather updates combined with Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to reduce transportation time and fuel costs. Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to receive, put-away, store, receive and marshal the shipment. Electronic documents accompany the shipment from purchase order, letter of credit to customs clearing and back-haul charges. While these applications in the past have been mostly desktop applications used in the office at the management level, the move is to mobile applications. The footprint of LIS is getting smaller and is moving from the desktop to the Smartphone. At the core of any logistic information systems (LIS) is electronic communication. With the advent of the internet and social media personal communication has taken on other forms. With smart phones and tablets like the I-Phone and I-Pad e-commerce advanced to m-commerce. While technology enables the global supply chain, how do future logistics professionals feel about applying this cutting edge communication technology in their personal and professional lives? This quantitative study compares the aptitude of Thai logistics management students towards the use of social media and modern mobile telecommunication technology in their personal lives and in the context of professional use in connection with logistics information systems (LIS).

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework to evaluate distribution strategies for an e-tailer. An application of MCDM method, the hybrid DANP–VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) model, is used for e-tailers’ distribution strategy evaluation. The choice of distribution strategies under various dimensions is evaluated. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a hybrid MCDM model to solve the decision-making framework, which combines Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), DEMATEL-based analytic network process and VIKOR method. Data were collected from the experts (e-tail manager, logistics manager, operations manager and distribution center (DC) manager) using two questionnaires, first for the influential relationship among the criteria and dimensions and second for a performance rating of each alternative (distribution strategies) against each criterion. Findings DANP with VIKOR method prioritizes the distribution strategies in the following order: DC shipment, drop shipment, click and collect, store shipment and click and reserve. Performance gap was calculated based on the VIKOR method to provide distribution strategies to an e-tailer under different situations. The authors infer that in developing country, product characteristics and transportation have a major influence on deciding the distribution strategy. Practical implications Decision-making framework will provide e-tail mangers a knowledge-based understanding to select the distribution strategy under the different situations related to the performance, product, e-tailer and external characteristics for smooth order fulfillment process. The insights developed by this research provide a framework for rational decision making in distribution strategy selection in e-business. Originality/value This is the first kind of a study which offers a decision framework for e-tail managers on how to choose distribution strategies under different situations which are related to the performance, product, e-tailer and external characteristics.

Abstract:

Purpose While forward logistics handles and manages the flow of goods downstream in the supply chain from suppliers to customers, reverse logistics (RL) manages the flow of returned goods upstream. A firm can combine RL with forward logistics, keep the flows separated, or choose a position between the two extremes. The purpose of this paper is to identify the contextual factors that determine the most advantageous position, which the paper refers to as the most advantageous degree of combination. Design/methodology/approach The paper first develops a scale ranging from 0 percent combination to 100 percent combination (i.e. full separation). Second, using the contingency theory the paper identifies the contextual factors described in RL-literature that determine the most advantageous degree of combination. The set of factors is subsequently tested using a case study, which applies a triangulation approach that combines a qualitative and a quantitative method. Findings The results show six distinct contextual factors that determine the most advantageous degree of combination. Examples of factors are technical product complexity, product portfolio variation, and the loss of product value over time. Practical implications For practitioners the scale of possible positions and set of contextual factors constitute a decision-making framework. Using the framework practitioners can determine the most advantageous position of the scale for their firm. Originality/value Much RL-research addresses intra-RL issues while the relationship between forward and RL is under-researched. This paper contributes to RL theory by identifying the contextual factors that determine the most advantageous relationship between forward and RL, and proposes a novel decision-making framework for practitioners.
