Background: Technological innovation in logistics (TIL), logistics capability (LC), and lean logistics (LL) are receiving wider attention in logistics and supply chain research. They are often examined in separate models and less often in relation to...
Background: Logistics and supply chain resilience research typically assumes access to formal infrastructure, including contracted fleets, warehouses, inventory systems, and institutionalized contingency mechanisms. Yet many micro and small enterpris...
Background: This study analyses the predictive causal relationships between sesame supply chain performance, participatory governance, and domestic credit to the private sector in Chad. In Sahelian economies, agricultural value chains continue to be...
Background: Last-mile delivery is the most operationally complex and consumer-visible segment of E-commerce fulfillment, and direct-from-store (DFS) operations account for a growing share of online orders; yet packaging has been studied largely as a...
Background: Traditional value-based ABC inventory classification allocates protection according to economic value, overlooking operational risk factors such as demand variability, lead time, and assembly criticality, and it couples safety-stock and r...
Background: Within the fresh food e-commerce supply chain, government effort-contingent subsidies and logistics partnerships critically impact order pricing, preservation, and profitability. This study aims to investigate how different logistics coop...
Background: Supply chains are becoming increasingly complex, interconnected, and stakeholder-intensive, making effective problem formulation as important as identifying optimal solutions. Although problem structuring methods (PSMs) have been widely a...
Background: The air cargo sector is undergoing significant digital transformation driven by increasing demands for operational efficiency, transparency, and real-time information exchange. Despite the growing importance of digitalization, substantial...
Background: Perishable agri-food supply chains require logistics networks that remain economically viable despite fluctuations in demand, transportation costs, and market prices. This study develops and evaluates a two-echelon logistics network for t...
Background: As supply chains undergo rapid transformation, the concept of supply chain viability (SCV) has gained increasing attention among scholars and industry practitioners. Despite this growing interest, the existing literature lacks a comprehen...
Background: Road transport accounts for 73% of transport-related greenhouse gas emissions within the EU, 27% of which are attributable to heavy-duty vehicles. In order to reduce emissions in the area of heavy-duty commercial vehicles, electrifying th...
Background: Global logistics generates 16–25% of greenhouse gas emissions, yet small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies lack the digital infrastructure to measure and improve their sustainability performance. Business i...
Background: Four-way shuttle-based storage and retrieval systems (FSS/RSs) have recently emerged as flexible and scalable solutions for high-density warehousing, enabling shuttle movement in four directions and supporting multi-deep dual-access stora...
Background: Digital Supply Chain Adoption (DSCA) has emerged as a critical strategic imperative associated with Operational Performance (OP); however, empirical evidence within Thailand’s food and beverage manufacturing industry remains limited...
Background: Current international regulations for cargo securing rely on simplified assumptions that may not accurately represent the behavior of oversized cargo, particularly regarding rotational inertia and ship motion effects, which are critical u...
Background: Traceability has gained significant importance in supply chain (SC) networks, especially driven by the growing need for transparency, regulatory compliance and consumer assurance. Although blockchain technology addresses several tradition...
Background: The Physical Internet (PI) promotes resource sharing among independent firms. This can improve logistics efficiency, but shared route capacity and limited compensation may also create unequal outcomes among firms. Methods: This study deve...
Background: Humanitarian logistics decisions extend beyond immediate relief delivery to include preparedness, recovery, service continuity and the development of durable local capabilities. Simulation can support these decisions under uncertainty, ye...
Background: Retail product recognition is difficult in practice because products often look similar, class distributions are unbalanced, and annotations usually contain only one observed product label, even though products belong to broader category...
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly discussed as a means of improving procurement efficiency and supply chain agility, yet its role in supplier evaluation remains insufficiently understood, particularly when decisions depend on f...
Background: This study examines how humanitarian supply chain cooperation in Morocco may evolve toward 2030, focusing on the roles of donors, volunteers, and digital technologies in strengthening coordination, operational performance, and resilience...
Background: High-technology supply chains are interdependent logistics infrastructures in which digital, energy, manufacturing, cloud and orbital layers are tightly coupled. This paper examines how such layering changes supply chain resilience and sy...
Background: Strengthening, coordinating, and sustaining rail freight services is one of the most pressing yet neglected challenges for transport planners in developing economies. Focusing on the institutional context of Thai freight transport, we ass...
Background: The rapid digitalization of warehouse logistics has accelerated the adoption of smart industrial robots, AI-driven autonomous vehicles, and drones to enhance operational coordination and supply chain performance. However, empirical eviden...
Background: Agricultural logistics in Kazakhstan is critical for export-oriented supply chains, but its resilience is limited by infrastructure constraints, fluctuating export demand, and insufficient coordination between market and logistics process...
Background: Sustainable and smart logistics transition requires tools that connect environmental, energy, social and digital performance with transport structure. This study proposes an exploratory classification framework for European maritime&ndash...
