Abstract:

Purpose Based on the combined experiences of operations and supply chain management (O&SCM) scholars and a reflective practitioner, the paper compares, contrasts and reconciles the competences needed to research O&SCM practice and to practice O&SCM research. The purpose of this paper is to locate these competences for young faculty in relation to their ambitions and career choices. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based upon the contributions made at European Operations Management Association 2014 Young Scholars Workshop (YSW). The theme and programme of the workshop was “Operations management – research and practice”. Findings The paper outlines first the concept of the YSW, the evolution of themes and the specific focus of the 2014 workshop. It concludes with a reflection on the career development of O&SCM scholars, their potential role, as academics or practitioners, in the development of O&SCM theory and practice, and the role of collaborative research in that development. Practical implications This paper shows what it takes for O&SCM researchers to engage with “the world around us” involves and, vice versa, how “doctorate” OM and SCM practitioners may successfully solve practical problems and engage with the O&SCM world surrounding them in doing so. Originality/value The paper presents a collection of viewpoints of O&SCM scholars and a reflective practitioner on the competences needed to research OM practice and to practice OM research.

Abstract:

Recent disruptions in global supply chains have led to increased interest in supply chain risk management investigation. On the other hand, increased environmental regulation has urged firms to compulsorily have their routine operations environmental friendly. Last few years, researchers have investigated these two streams as distinct but have mentioned them to be related in the long run. The current study attempts to bridge this gap of allied literature by conceptually arguing that it to arrive at sustainability in supply chain operations, firms must co-integrate their supply chain risk management and green practices in supply chain. While risk management broadly aims to reduce the exposure to a risky situation coupled with minimizing the negative impact of disruption of firm performance; green practices aims to make operational, tactical and strategic operations of the firm environment friendly. Based on sufficient theoretical tenets from related literature, the study attempts to develop a theoretical model linking supply chain risk management, green supply chain practices and sustainable supply chain. In doing so, the study provides an indicative list of various risk classifications and proposed risk mitigating strategies till date. Finally, the study indicates managerial implications and suggests further research opportunities.

Abstract:

Background: Reverse supply chains of machinery and equipment face significant challenges, and overcoming them is critical for effective customer service and sustainable operation. Maintenance and repair services, strongly associated with the reverse movement of equipment, are among the most demanding reverse supply chain operations. Equipment is scattered in various locations, and multiple suppliers are involved in its maintenance, making it challenging to manage the related reverse supply chain operations. Effective maintenance is essential for businesses-owners of the equipment, as reducing costs while improving service quality helps them gain a competitive advantage. Methods: To enhance reverse supply chain operations related to equipment maintenance, this paper presents the operational framework, the methodological approach, and the architecture for developing a system that covers the needs for predictive maintenance in the service supply chain. It is based on Industry 4.0 technologies, such as the Internet of things, machine learning, and cloud computing. Results: As a result of the successful implementation of the system, effective equipment maintenance and service supply chain management is achieved supporting the reverse supply chain. Conclusions: This will eventually lead to fewer good-conditioned spare part replacements, just in time replacements, extended equipment life cycles, and fewer unnecessary disposals.

Abstract:

This study explores the integration of blockchain technology and machine learning (ML) models to improve transparency, efficiency, and resilience in supply chain management. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we developed a blockchain framework and tested ML models, including LSTM, ARIMA, Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, Q-Learning, and Deep Q-Networks, to address demand forecasting, anomaly detection, and optimization. Our findings demonstrate that blockchain significantly enhances data integrity, traceability, and real-time monitoring across supply chains, particularly in industries like food and pharmaceuticals. Among ML models, LSTM showed superior performance for dynamic demand forecasting, while Isolation Forest was highly effective for real-time anomaly detection. Deep Q-Networks excelled in complex optimization tasks but required high computational resources, whereas Q-Learning proved efficient for simpler scenarios. This blockchain-ML integration presents a promising framework for advancing supply chain resilience, enabling secure and agile operations across diverse industrial applications. Limitations include blockchain’s scalability challenges and ML’s computational demands, suggesting areas for future research.

Abstract:

This paper looks at three examples that demonstrate how smart operations can reduce the uncertainty to reliably contribute to sustained growth in operations effectiveness. These relate to: demand/capability change; critical asset management; and, adaptive collaboration across processing/production areas and sites. While many heavy process industry organisations try to measure and manage the processing/production facilities using the operations effectiveness phrase, many have encountered difficulty in delivering the desired business improvement—whether it is achieving, sustaining, evolving or rolling out. This paper proposes a re-think based on successes in several industries. This paper defines what working smarter really means through making earlier and better decisions that affect the current performance of the processing/production facility and the supply chains. These decisions are often balancing naturally conflicting demands, both between facility and supply chain and between present and future events.

Abstract:

Increasing globalization of the supply chains is making them increasingly vulnerable to various supply chain risks. Effective management of these risks is essential to prevent minor as well as major risks that may occur in day-to-day operations of the firm. In this paper an attempt is made to bring out a schema for analyzing supply chain risks faced by the firm and develop a risk management action framework that would serve as a guide for practitioners to identify the level at which their firms are operating and the strategies they need to employ to combat or prevent supply chain risks. The data is collected by means of an online as well as an event survey from logistics managers of various supply chain firms. Indeed Singaporean firms need to properly document these supply chain risks. Moreover, there are gaps in specific areas where Singaporean firms can improve themselves and thus become globally effective corporations.

Abstract:

The strategy for the development of the supply chain should ensure a high level of fault tolerance of all links when exposed to adverse factors. The article analyzes the impact on the stability of the supply chain of two types of influences: failure and disruption. The low stability of the supply chain appears in the stoppage of work in case of any disruptions and failures. With moderate stability, disruptions do not give up a significant impact on the operation of the supply chain, and failures lead to an increase in operating costs to maintain the stability of work processes. With a high level of stability, failures can cause disruptions in the operations of individual links. In case of disruptions, response models are applied based on the control of process parameters, the subsequent analysis of the causes of disruptions and the development of measures to restore the normal operation of the links in the supply chain. Effective disruption response involves the use of proactive response models. For this, it is necessary to ensure flexibility and transparency of processes in all links of the supply chain based on digital services for material flow control and mining of big data.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to introduce a supply chain strategy for supply chain sustainability performance and explain why it is different to normal business/operations strategy. Design/methodology/approach A survey of supply chain managers and detailed case studies of three successful supply chain sustainability organisations identified four components of a supply chain sustainability strategy, the mechanisms behind them and how they interacted. Findings Sustainability leadership, supply chain member involvement in organisational sustainability initiatives, supply chain member involvement in supply chain sustainability strategy planning and technical competency were identified as the four components of a sustainable supply chain strategy. Sustainability leadership legitimises the objectives and involvement of the staff in supply chain-oriented sustainability initiatives and planning. Technical competency provides the capability and language necessary for the development of a supply chain sustainability strategy. This is different to business/operations strategy, however, parallels to other forms of strategy constructs support its ability to achieve performance improvement. Research limitations/implications The research is based on data from developed countries; the findings may be different for emerging economies. Potential hypotheses for future research are suggested. Practical implications The supply chain sustainability strategy will enable organisations to improve the sustainability of their supply chains. Its application is described in the paper. Originality/value The paper develops a strategy framework different to the approach taken in business/operational strategy. It indicates how the sustainability performance of supply chains external to the organisation is increased through their interconnectedness with the organisation.

Abstract:

This dissertation is based on three essays in operations and supply chain management. In essay 1, we study an operations scheduling problem in a complex manufacturing system, most notably, semiconductor manufacturing. In particular, we study the scheduling problem of minimizing total weighted tardiness on parallel non-identical batch processing machines. We formulate the (primal) problem as a nonlinear integer programming model. Moreover, we prove that the primal problem can be solved exactly by solving a corresponding dual problem with nonlinear relaxation. Since both the primal and the dual problems are NP-hard, we propose to use genetic algorithms, based on random keys and multiple choice encodings, to heuristically solve them. We found that the genetic algorithms consistently outperform a standard mathematical programming package in terms of solutions and computation times. We also found that for small scale problem instances, the multiple choice genetic algorithm outperforms the random keys genetic algorithm, while for medium and large scale problem instances, the random keys genetic algorithm outperforms the multiple choice genetic algorithm. In essay 2, we study a monopolist firm offering successive versions of a durable good (e.g., software) that improves over time. The firm decides the time between successive introductions as well as price. In turn, consumers strategically decide whether to purchase or wait for a later version. We model and analyze three alternative strategies for offering successive product versions: the partial-, continuous-, and no-updates policies. We first consider the firm's profit maximizing policy assuming a homogeneous market and subsequently address consumers with heterogeneous product valuations. Our analytic model's simple structure and results highlight the important tradeoff between price and release timing for products with successive versions. In essay 3, we study the effect of time series structure of customer demand models on the value of information sharing within a supply chain. We contribute to the literature by incorporating a nonlinear demand model based on exponential disturbances, coupled with temporal heteroscedasticity, which captures more complex patterns in the demand process. We examine the conditions under which information sharing is valuable.<br>10000-01-01

In conjunction with the Leaders for Global Operations Program at MIT.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (page 63).<br>Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is ranked as the top hospital in New England and second nation-wide. It is also the largest hospital in New England; it uses an average of 58 operating rooms, where approximately 150 surgical procedures are performed daily. Management of surgical supplies is a critical component of the processes supporting this infrastructure. Specifically, ensuring the right equipment and supplies are available at the right time is critical for the efficiency and quality outcomes of each of the procedures. The materials management group handles over 10,000 unique items, purchased from more than 400 vendors. The majority (60-70%) of disposable supplies are ordered through Owens & Minor, a medical and surgical supplies distributor. The supplies are stored in multiple locations throughout the hospital, including two central locations as well as carts and cabinets on the surgical floors and in the operating rooms. The work described in this thesis focuses on the inventory management of disposable surgical supplies, where the current system design has inefficiencies in the inventory levels and location of items. Using a data-driven approach, based on historical demand, we calculate base stock levels by item that maintain three days of inventory at a 99 percent service level. In addition, we suggest a methodology to support decisions on inventory locations of the different items. Implementation of the recommended changes is estimated to result in savings of 30-40% in inventory levels (and space), corresponding to a one time saving of $700,000-$900,000, depending on the implementation scenario. In addition, the reduction in inventory levels can be translated to future savings in inventory holding costs at an estimated 40% rate, leading to a saving of roughly $300,000 annually.<br>by Noa Ben-Zvi.<br>S.M.<br>M.B.A.

Abstract:

Cette thèse articule plusieurs questions importantes dans les opérations durables et la gestion de la chaîne d'approvisionnement, non seulement afin de fournir des idées pour améliorer la performance des entreprises, mais aussi pour inciter ces dernières à adopter les moyens appropriés pour un meilleur environnement de notre société. Le lien entre le niveau de l'entreprise et le niveau de la société est que l'amélioration de la performance écologique par une meilleure gestion des opérations dans les entreprises et les chaînes d'approvisionnement est un élément indispensable pour améliorer l'environnement dans notre société. Prenons la Chine comme exemple. Depuis quelques années, le gouvernement a commencé à favoriser toutes les initiatives pour résoudre les problèmes de pollution de l'air. Un moyen important et utile est de mettre en place une réglementation stricte et de surveiller les efforts des entreprises qui seront passibles d'amendes sérieuses si certaines normes ne sont pas respectées par des inspections aléatoires. Par conséquent, les entreprises doivent coopérer pour améliorer leur rentabilité et, plus important encore, leurs impacts environnementaux. Grâce à cet effort prolongé, malgré le fait que la situation future est incertaine, la qualité de l'air s'est progressivement améliorée en Chine. Cette thèse, dans un cadre plus général, vise à fournir aux entreprises des informations importantes afin qu'elles soient non seulement en mesure de respecter la réglementation, mais aussi en mesure d'apporter véritablement leur contribution à la construction d'un environnement meilleur pour les générations futures. Notre objectif fondamental est d'obtenir une compréhension approfondie des compromis auxquels les entreprises sont confrontées, de modéliser les problèmes de recherche de solutions possibles et d'aider les entreprises/chaînes d'approvisionnement à améliorer leur performance d'un point de vue théorique. Ensuite, la thèse aidera indirectement les entreprises à réaliser l'importance du développement de moyens de gestion durable des opérations et de la chaîne d'approvisionnement sur notre société. La thèse est organisée comme la structure suivante. Le chapitre 3 est le premier essai, Environmental Collaboration and Process Innovation in Supply Chain Management with Coordination. Le chapitre 4 comprend le contenu du deuxième essai, Remanufacturing of Multi-Component Systems with Product Substitution, et le troisième essai, Joint Dynamic Pricing and Return Quality Strategies Under Demand Cannibalization , est présenté au chapitre 5. Le chapitre 6 donne les remarques finales générales des trois essais, suivies de la liste de référence, et les annexes<br>This thesis articulates several important issues in sustainable operations and supply chain management not only to provide insights for enhancing the performance of firms but also to appeal to the enterprises to adopt appropriate means for a better environment of our society. The link from firm level to society level is that, to improve the green performance through better operations management efficiency in firms and supply chains, is an indispensable element to ameliorate the environment in our society. Taking China as an example. Since a few years ago (The Straitstimes, 2017; Stanway & Perry, 2018), the government started to spare no effort in resolving the air pollution problems. An important and useful means is to put strict regulations and monitoring the efforts of firms which will face serious fine if certain standards are not met by random inspection. Therefore, firms have to cooperate for the betterment of its profitability and, more importantly, the environmental impacts. Throughout the endeavor, despite the uncertain future situation, the air quality has gradually improved in China (Zheng, 2018). This thesis, in a more general setting, aims to provide important insights to firms so that they are not only able to meet the regulations but genuinely to make contributions to building a better environment for our future generations. Basically, our goal is to obtain deep understanding of the trade-offs with which companies are faced, and to model the problems for seeking possible solutions and helping firms/supply chains to enhance their performance from a theoretical point of view. Then, indirectly, the work will help firms to realize the importance of developing sustainable operations and supply chain management means on our society. The structure of the thesis is organized as follows. Chapter 2 introduces the thesis in French. Chapter 3 is the first essay, Environmental Collaboration and Process Innovation in Supply Chain Management with Coordination. Chapter 4 includes the contents of the second essay, Remanufacturing of Multi-Component Systems with Product Substitution , and the third essay, Joint Dynamic Pricing and Return Quality Strategies Under Demand Cannibalization, is introduced in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 gives the general concluding remarks of the three essays which is followed by the reference list and the appendices

Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Operations Research Center, 2014.<br>This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Cataloged from PDF student-submitted version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-172).<br>First, we describe a general framework called online customer selection that describes natural settings where suppliers must actively select which customer requests to serve. Unlike traditional revenue management models that have sunk costs, we assume there are supply chain costs that depend on the demand being served. Specifically, customers arrive in an online manner, each with a set of requirements and associated revenue, and are either accepted or rejected upon arrival. Rejected customers incur a lost-sales cost, while accepted customers are satisfied with minimum possible production cost. The goal of the supplier is to minimize the total cost of lost sales and production. We provide algorithms with strong performance guarantees that are based on new variants of repeated optimization as well as concepts from mechanism design. Second, we study the use of opaque products in a retail setting. A product is said to be opaque when one or more of its attributes are hidden until the transaction is complete. Opaque products have been used in the hotel and airline industry where customers purchase rooms or airfare without a priori knowledge of the brand name. In this work, we propose the use of opaque product selling in the retail industry, where there are nonperishable goods and supply chain costs. We show that a small amount of opaque selling can achieve significant ordering and holding costs savings for the supply chain. Moreover, we describe settings when a stationary opaque selling strategy can outperform a common dynamic pricing strategy. Third, we focus on a variant of the joint replenishment problem, which arises in the previous two parts as well as in inventory management, logistics, and maintenance scheduling. In this problem, there are multiple item types that each has a given time-dependent sequence of demands that need to satisfied. Every time an order of item types is placed, there is an associated fixed setup cost that is submodular in the subset of item types ordered. The overall goal is to minimize the total fixed ordering costs plus inventory holding costs. We provide a variety of approximation algorithms for this problem and some special cases.<br>by Adam Nabil Elmachtoub.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:

Businesses with global supply chains typically have a minimum of 1 interruption to their supply chain annually, which can decrease profitability and affect overall company performance. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies personal care business supply chain managers used to mitigate supply chain disruption risk. The targeted population was 9 supply chain managers working in 5 different Fortune 500 consumer packaged goods personal care companies in the northeastern United States who have successfully used strategies to mitigate supply chain disruptions. Corporate risk management was used as the conceptual framework of the study to determine how company leaders plan for supply chain disruptions and how leaders prioritize and resource implementation and assessment of these plans. Data collection included semistructured interviews, with review of each company's documents as the secondary source of data. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Two main themes emerged: identification of a qualified alternative supplier is a common strategy in supply chain disruption mitigation plans, and business top management support is essential in the execution of supply chain disruption plans and strategies. Results of this study might contribute to social change by empowering supply managers to make alternative choices relative to suppliers that will make products more affordable to consumers. An empowered supply management team leads to high return of investments for companies, which can support employment and additional tax revenue to support social programs.

Full text

Abstract:

With its core competence on bus chassis, Scania determined in the mid-2000s to co-produce coach products with two external bus body manufacturers, Lahden Autokori and Higer. However, after a decade’s cooperation, well-functioning work processes were not established and problems still existed. With this study, problems within Scania’s operations system and Scania’s supply chain management strategies towards these two partners have been identified and illustrated, by applying an abductive research method. With this study it has been evidenced that Scania’s bus operations management is affiliated with truck and the truck operations system does not fit the request from the collaborations with Lahden Autokori and Higer. Moreover, it has also been shown that even though the relationship with these two partners is by nature long-term, Scania’s attitude has been characterized by short-term thinking. This ambiguous supply chain management strategy has been causing problems. Furthermore, aside from problems within operations system and supply chain management, the third studied area is organizational identity. Due to the fact that some organizational identity issues caused by reorganization have largely influenced both of the collaborations, the formation of these identity issues as well as the impacts on the cooperation has been studied. Finally, some recommendations for improvements have been made based on the findings of this study.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Operations Research Center, 1999.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 103-106).<br>In this thesis, we develop practical solution methods for a supply chain optimization problem: a multi-echelon, un capacitated, time-expanded network of distribution centers and stores, for which we seek the shipping schedule that minimizes total inventory, backlogging, and shipping costs, assuming deterministic, time-varying demand over a fixed time horizon for a single product. Because of fixed ordering and shipping costs, this concave cost network flow problem is in a class of NP-hard network design problems. We develop mathematical programming formulations, heuristic algorithms, and enhanced algorithms using approximate dynamic programming (ADP). We achieve a strong mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation, and fast, reliable algorithms, which can be extended to problems with multiple products. Beginning with a lot-size based formulation, we strengthen the formulation in steps to develop one which is a variation of a node-arc formulation for the network design problem. In addition, we present a path-flow formulation for the single product case and an enhanced network design formulation for the multiple product case. The basic algorithm we develop uses a dynamic lot-size model with backlogging together with a greedy procedure that emulates inventory pull systems. Four related algorithms perform local searches of the basic algorithm's solution or explore alternative solutions using pricing schemes, including a Lagrangian-based heuristic. We show how approximate dynamic programming can be used to solve this supply chain optimization problem as a dynamic control problem using any of the five algorithms. In addition to improving all the algorithms, the ADP enhancement turns the simplest algorithm into one comparable to the more complex ones. Our computational results illustrate that our enhanced network design formulation almost always produces integral solutions and can be used to solve problems of moderate size (3 distribution centers, 30 stores, 30 periods). Our heuristic methods, particularly those enhanced by ADP methods, produce near optimal solutions for truly large scale problems.<br>by Carl E. Wike.<br>S.M.

Abstract:

In the last years, together with the proliferation of quality and safety standards, the global trade of perishable products has dealt with the increasing concern of costumers on credence attributes (e.g. quality, safety, sustainability, fair trade, etc.). Consequently, supply chain actors claim for a higher compliance with such standards, as well as, for a major information disclosure on the products’ journey. From their side, researchers are called to develop sustainable solutions to handle products perishability, in order to support managers during the daily operations. Quality and safety of perishable products are affected both by the logistics operations and by the environmental conditions experienced along the supply chain. Due to the seasonality in the weather conditions, the realization of effective temperature-controlled storage and distribution operations is the most important driver to control the quality degradation and the safety decay of perishable products. However, the realization of cold chains is highly energy-intensive, negatively affecting the environmental impact of perishable products supply chains (PPSC). The new advance in IT and in traceability systems represent an opportunity for companies to implement effective cold chains, while addressing to the customer’s demand for transparency. However, although the recognized importance of information sharing for the supply chain coordination and integration, the openness toward always more global markets and the distrust of companies to share strategic information limit the collaboration among supply chain actors. Moreover, always more often companies decide to entrust the transportation and storage processes to 3PL providers, which deal with several clients and a high variety of products. Aim of this dissertation is proposing innovative methods, models and tools aided to improve the overall performance along the supply chains for perishables products. Beyond the efficiency of the supply chain operations, the definition of ‘performance’ assumes other three dimensions: quality, safety and sustainability. The research elaborates on two research questions that narrow down the set of potential approaches to the problem to the improvement of the overall performance of perishable products distribution network and of storage operations. The research activity is developed according to a research framework, where the research questions are addressed by research levers, that are explored according to research topics. Each topic requires a specific methodology, however the overarching methodological approach presented in this dissertation includes four fundamental aspects: the minimization of the level of approximation of data in input, the use of case-study deriving from real-world instances, the use of simulation to study complex systems through their model and the role of data visualization. Initially, this dissertation depicts the state-of-the-art of the current industrial practice in PPSC and identifies the main research trends over the last decade. The following two chapters illustrate the research activity. The first focus on the development of logistics solutions for the management of the flows of goods among the supply chain actors, and the second narrow down the research focus to the warehousing systems located within PPSC and particularly to the warehouse operations. The explored research topics lead to theoretical, methodological and practical contributions.<br>Negli ultimi anni, insieme alla diffusione di leggi e standard a tutela della qualità e sicurezza dei prodotti deperibili, il mercato si è confrontato con il crescente interessamento dei consumatori verso quelle caratteristiche dei prodotti come qualità, sicurezza e sostenibilità ambientale. Di conseguenza, mentre i diversi attori della filiera richiedono sempre maggiore visibilità sul viaggio dei prodotti, i ricercatori sono chiamati a sviluppare soluzioni logistiche per supportare i manager durante le attività giornaliere. La qualità e la sicurezza dei prodotti deperibili sono impattate sia dalle attività logistiche che dalle condizioni ambientali subite durante lo stoccaggio e il trasporto. L’implementazione della cold chain è il maggiore driver per tutelare tali aspetti, tuttavia la sua realizzazione è altamente impattante sia dal punto di vista energetico che ambientale. Le nuove tecnologie a supporto della tracciabilità rappresentano un’opportunità per le aziende al fine di implementare cold chain efficienti e allo stesso tempo rispondere alla maggiore domanda di informazioni da parte dei consumatori. Tuttavia, anche se la condivisione di informazioni tra gli attori supporta il raggiungimento di una maggiore integrazione e coordinamento nella filiera, l’apertura verso mercati sempre più globali e la diffidenza delle aziende a condividere informazioni strategiche con potenziali competitors, ostacola il flusso informativo lungo la supply chain. Inoltre, sempre più spesso le aziende scelgono di focalizzarsi sul loro core business e di affidare il trasporto e lo stoccaggio di prodotti ad aziende 3PL, che si trovano quindi a dover gestire numerosi clienti e una grande varietà di prodotti. Obiettivo di questa tesi è proporre modelli, metodi e strumenti innovativi per migliorare le performance lungo le filiere di prodotti deperibili. In aggiunta ad una maggiore efficienza, in questa tesi la definizione di ‘performance’ assume altre tre dimensioni: qualità, sicurezza e sostenibilità ambientale. La ricerca presentata risponde a due principali research questions che focalizzano l’attenzione sul miglioramento delle performance agendo sul trasporto e sullo stoccaggio. Per rispondere a tali domande, la ricerca presentata approfondisce alcuni argomenti, esplorati rispetto ad alcune leve. Il quadro metodologico utilizzato in questa tesi include quattro principali aspetti: la riduzione del livello di approssimazione dei dati, l’utilizzo di casi di studio forniti da aziende, l’uso della simulazione per studiare sistemi complessi attraverso i loro modelli, ed infine, il ruolo chiave della visualizzazione dei dati e dei risultati. All’inizio, la tesi dipinge lo stato dell’arte della pratica industriale corrente nell’ambito delle filiere di prodotti deperibili e identifica i principali trend nella ricerca lungo l’ultimo decennio. I successivi due capitoli illustrano l’attività di ricerca svolta. Il primo si focalizza su soluzioni logistiche per la gestione dei flussi di merce tra gli attori della filiera e il secondo si concentra sullo stoccaggio e in particolare sulle operations all’interno dei magazzini. I risultati ottenuti portano contributi alla ricerca, alla metodologia e supportano le aziende a livello tattico e strategico.

Abstract:

COVID-19 brought the public’s attention to the critical value of transportation and supply chain workers as lifelines to access food and other supplies. This report examines essential job skills required of the middle-skill workforce (workers with more than a high school degree, but less than a four-year college degree). Many of these middle-skill transportation and supply chain jobs are what the Federal Reserve Bank defines as “opportunity occupations” -- jobs that pay above median wages and can be accessible to those without a four-year college degree. This report lays out the complex landscape of selected technological disruptions of the supply chain to understand the new workforce needs of these middle-skill workers, followed by competencies identified by industry. With workplace social distancing policies, logistics organizations now rely heavily on data management and analysis for their operations. All rungs of employees, including warehouse workers and truck drivers, require digital skills to use mobile devices, sensors, and dashboards, among other applications. Workforce training requires a focus on data, problem solving, connectivity, and collaboration. Industry partners identified key workforce competencies required in digital literacy, data management, front/back office jobs, and in operations and maintenance. Education and training providers identified strategies to effectively develop workforce development programs. This report concludes with an exploration of the role of Institutes of Higher Education in delivering effective workforce education and training programs that reimagine how to frame programs to be customizable, easily accessible, and relevant.

Abstract:

The scalability of RPA allows companies to adjust their robotic workforce according to fluctuating demands, improving not only operational efficiency but also employee satisfaction and strategic focus. With applications ranging from data processing and verification to supply chain management, RPA has become a transformative tool in sectors such as banking, retail, customer support, and human resources management, demonstrating its potential to optimize processes and improve decision-making across a wide range of industries. The adoption of RPA in Latin America, partly driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, highlights its role in accelerated digital transformation, focusing on business continuity, risk reduction, and knowledge generation. Financial institutions and retail companies, in particular, have adopted RPA to enhance operational efficiency and customer service, with successful use cases showing significant time and cost savings, as well as improvements in customer experience.
