Creating Sustainable Order Fulfillment Processes through Managing the Risk: Evidence from the Disposable Products Industry

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper tries to identify the sustainability factor as one of the most influential factor to the success of OFP in the disposable products industry. Overall, the paper seems to fail to understandably deliver the core results of the research. The contents of abstract do not fit to the title of the paper. The uniqueness and benefits of the proposed OFP are hardly figured out compared to the current one as the title says. The compelling evidence of sustainable factor is confusing enough to be concluded. The mathematical framework for the retail distribution system also does not seem to be relevant to the objective of this study, especially in terms of sustainability.

Reviewer 2 Report

The most important thing is to improve writing. There are lots of typos.

For example, in the abstract, "is the most important factors" should be "is the most important factor".

For the paper's title: "Creating Sustainable Order Fulfillment Process Through Managing the Risk Evidence from the Disposables Products Industry" should be revised as  "Creating Sustainable Order Fulfillment Processes Through Managing the Risk: Evidence from the Disposables Products Industry".

Plus, the term "Disposables Products Industry" is a bit strange to me. Please check.

Research rigor: I wonder whether there are any robustness testing schemes regarding the research assumptions of the method employed. The current analysis is a bit too simple. Some more details regarding research rigor should be provided.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript has been considerably improved according to the reviewers' report. Since the 'sustainability' concept employed in the manuscript might be confusing enough to catch the key idea of this study, it needs to be clarified in the introduction, as a minor revision without further review.
