... This has major impacts on project outcomes, particularly at procurement and in obtaining permits and permissions as well as the process of negotiations with local governments. From a procurement point of view, these contracting challenges are directly related to the volatility of commodity associated with sourcing the major raw material inputs into oil exploration and downstream capital operations (Handfield et al. 2013). Therefore, a significant effort is required to monitor and to plan for effective procurement in these uncertain project environments and against such occurrences. ...

The oil industry is considered to be a major industry as it provides energy to all other industries. This industry is exposed to various risks due to extreme circumstances, such as remote area locations, harsh environment, equipment, and functional engineering materials that are exclusively manufactured for this industry. All of these circumstances can disrupt and threaten the existences of the industry.

This is where risk management and supply chain risk management is vitally needed by researchers and practitioners. Therefore, the assessment and prediction of the impact of risks on the procurement operation performance of projects is a very challenging task. As a result of this, many projects in the Libyan oil industry and worldwide are still suffering from the impact of these risks. The aspect of risk in supply chain management is underdeveloped on the body of literature, and very few studies have addressed this issue due to its confidentiality.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of supply-chain risk management in the Libyan oil industry and to understand how procurement practitioners assess supply chain risk management to achieve smooth procurement operations. The author derives a set of propositions and preliminary results which contribute to developing strategies to identify and mitigate those risks. Hence, the contribution to knowledge is to investigate these issues within the Libyan oil industry and also to develop a framework that can be used as a risk management supporting tool.

Qualitative and quantitative (triangulation) were adopted for this research. This comprised of the investigation of 65 out of 93 Libyan procurement practitioners, as well as interviews of which 9 Libyan procurement practitioners participated.

This research finds that service providers and contractor companies are the highest percentage within stakeholders, who are practising supply risk management techniques. However, this percentage is still low within its group.

This research also identifies types of risks that majorly affect the performance of procurement operations, such as purchasing clone parts. Thus, providing valuable information for particular stages of response planning. It also explores how the consideration of risk management can reshape supply chain management. Moreover, a Procurement Risk Management Framework (PRMF) that has been developed and empirically validated

... A study conducted by Handfield et al. \[34\], using 62 interviews and 1757 international survey responses to observe the global logistics and supply chain trends revealed that introducing new technology by companies to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics operations was a recognisable key trend. It also showed that respondents expected 30% growth in new technology investments in RFID, inventory optimisation software, analytics, and big data technologies. ...

... More than 65% of respondents were planning to invest in network optimisation technologies such as inventory optimization software, transport management systems, advanced planning systems, and better data collection processes in the next five years (since 2013). About 60% of respondents had planned to invest in "Big Data" analytical tools within those five years \[34\] for forecasting, and other analyses would help organisations to optimise their logistics functions \[35\]. ...

Optimising the use of resources through scientific methods is critical for efficiency and accurate pricing in the logistics industry. Analytical techniques (AT) play a decisive role in providing such analytical solutions. This paper explores the use of Analytical Techniques for decision making in the Sri Lankan manufacturing logistics industry through a survey of practices in leading companies in the manufacturing logistics industry. The questionnaire focused on the familiarity of ATs and their use in the different logistics operations. The research reviewed and classified the different AT's most widely used in solving common logistics problems (LP). Closing the gap between the theory and practice of AT in the logistics industry was aimed at through this research, by offering areas in which the industry could successfully adopt appropriate ATs. In this respect, different ATs in seven selected logistics decisions, regularly made in manufacturing firms, were discussed. The current practice in ATs was captured by interviewing leading practitioners in the logistics industry, bringing together the reasons for these gaps and their suggestions for overcoming them. The findings of the research could open up exciting areas for future research on optimisation using ATs in manufacturing logistics.

... Studies of the phenomenon of multichannel selling also mention omnichannel retailing when the different sales channels are very closely interlinked (Hübner et al. 2016a;Lazaris & Vrechopoulos 2014;Hübner et al. 2018;Buldeo Rai et al. 2019). The focus of the research dealing with the multichannel phenomena is often on analysing critical factors for the success or failure of multichannel distribution, such as product availability and planning (Handfield et al. 2013). Besides product availability, the attention is primarily on the consumer approach. ...

Auch wenn Multichannel-Vertriebsstrategien Gegenstand vieler Untersuchungen sind, befassen sich nur wenige Studien mit ihren Auswirkungen auf Logistik- und Transportorganisation. Die zentralen Fragen lauten daher: Wie verändern sich die Warenströme durch die Einführung des Lebensmittelonlinehandels? Und haben verschiedene Formen von Onlineangeboten unterschiedliche Auswirkungen auf die Warenströme? Für die vorliegende kumulative Dissertation wurden Daten aus Frankreich und Deutschland analysiert. Im Mittelpunkt standen die Auswirkungen des Lebensmittelonlinehandels auf die Lieferkette, einschließlich der letzten Meile. Darüber hinaus war es das Ziel, die Strategien und den logistischen Transport der Distributoren im Hinblick auf den Kontext, in dem sie auftreten, zu verstehen. Die Arbeit bietet eine umfassende Untersuchung der beiden Märkte Deutschland und Frankreich. Die Ergebnisse einer vergleichenden Analyse zeigen, wie unterschiedlich sich die Warenflüsse über die gesamte Supply Chain durch das Angebot von Onlinewaren verändern. Neben der letzten Meile erfahren auch die vorgelagerten Strukturen in der Lieferkette eine Veränderung: I) Neue Standorte in Kundennähe für die Organisation der Onlinelebensmitteldistribution werden erschlossen. II) Eine Dezentralisierung von Distributionsstrukturen findet statt. III) Es entstehen neue Beziehungen zwischen Akteuren der Lieferkette. Die Ergebnisse der Analysen tragen zu einem besseren systematischen Verständnis von Onlinelebensmittelpraktiken bei Forschern und Praktikern bei.

Digitalization has profound impacts on the courier, express, and parcel (CEP) delivery services industry. With the rise of e‐commerce, the number of delivered parcels has more than doubled in the past ten years, and today, already 10% of global retail sales are made online. The main driver for growth is China, where local CEP companies are struggling to keep up with the resulting pressure on their networks. This chapter will explain challenges in the logistics operations of key industries, describe digitalization solutions today, discuss e‐commerce in China and its CEP market, and highlight new challenges in the competitive environment that increase the burden on all market players. Also, a case study about a successful implementation case of AI in a CEP company will be shared. This chapter closes with a prediction that the future of CEP in China is digital.

... SMEs are even more vulnerable to supply chain inefficiencies compared with large firms. For SMEs, related to their small scale, logistics costs are disproportionately higher-industrial firms with fewer than 250 workers on average having logistics cost of some 15% of overall revenue for the business unit, more than twice that of firms with over 250 workers (Straube et al., 2013). Small exporters and importers tend to be more affected by a lack of transparency in clearance processes. ...

One of the most common systems in non-automated warehouses is drive-in pallet racking with a shared storage policy (which is usually based on the duration-of-stay). Such scheme targets towards an efficient use of storage space, since its operation costs are directly related to the size and layout of the warehouse. In this paper, two mathematical programming models and two greedy-randomised based heuristics for finding (nearly) optimal storage and retrieval operation sequences for this type of storage system are proposed. The computational effectiveness of the proposed approaches is measured by considering two sets of synthetic instances. The obtained results show that the proposed heuristics are not only able to compute high-quality solutions (as observed when being compared with the optimal solutions attained by the mathematical programming models), but it is also capable of providing solutions in very short running times even for large instances for which the mathematical programming model failed to find feasible solutions. At the light of these results, the best heuristic is also tested using a rolling-horizon planning strategy in a real-world case study, obtained from a Chilean company. It turns out that the attained results are more effective than the company's current storage policy.

... As a result, over recent years, a major transformation has occurred in distribution systems. Compared to the past, when distribution systems were simple, and physical stores were the endpoint of all transactions (Baird & Kilcourse, 2011), the distribution systems have become much more complicated (Handfield, Straube, Pfohl & Wieland, 2013). Nowadays, most retailers (79%) offer more than two purchase channels (Chatterjee, 2010). ...

Even though retailers have engaged in many efforts to offer and integrate new alternatives for delivering and returning consumers’ purchases, it is not clear what motivates consumers to choose one option or another. Although most consumers are already familiar with options such as home delivery or pick-up locations, situational factors determine their choice among the different alternatives; no study has, however, addressed this topic before. To fill this gap, this study identifies 15 different situational factors to examine their influence on the selection of delivery and return options and the effect of consumers’ demographic characteristics. The empirical analysis is based on an online questionnaire distributed to 650 respondents (266 valid responses). In addition, this study uses MANOVA and ANOVA to determine the relationship between each situational factor and consumer characteristics. The results show that 13 situational factors have a significant impact on consumer decisions, and among them time pressure, the distance to the store and channel spill-over are the most influential factors. The results also show that situational factors significantly rely on individual characteristics. For instance, getting help from an employee is significantly more important for consumers who are under 25 years of age. The study reveals some valuable implications for retailers.

... Again, to hope that the results of the application of classical methods and technologies for processing these accumulated data (all the more so if in logistics is relevant the need to analyze not just a set of factors, but also their possible different combinations, taking into account the possible impact of the subjective human factor) will radically change the current trends of the company (especially in such a highly competitive and low-profitable industry as logistics) is useless. This is confirmed by the results of the study of current and planned investments in logistics, more than 60% of 3PL respondents plan to invest in sphere of Big Data in the next 5 years (Handfield et al., 2013). ...

Infrastructure development is critical to delivering growth, reducing poverty and addressing broader development goals, as argued in the World Bank Report Transformation through Infrastructure (2012). This paper surveys the literature of the linkages between infrastructure investment and economic growth, discusses the role of infrastructure in the participation of global value chains and in supporting economic upgrades, highlights the challenges faced the least developed countries and provides policy recommendations. It suggests that addressing the bottlenecks in infrastructure is a necessary condition to provide a window of opportunity for an economy to develop following its comparative advantage. With the right conditions, good infrastructure can support an economy, particularly a less developed economy, to reap the benefit through the participation in the global value chains to upgrade the economic structure.

... Increasing occurrences of product recalls have been attributed to higher levels of offshore outsourcing and captive offshoring of manufacturing and distribution (Lyles, Flynn, and Frohlich 2008). 1 Globalised supply chains present multiple unexpected challenges for executives, including delays in product sourcing, distribution issues, and quality defects (Ni, Flynn, and Jacobs 2016). These events may occur for a number of reasons, including poor communication due to geographic distance between customer and supplier, diversity of regulatory standards, socio-cultural diversity, and complexity in coordinating and exchanging information between different actors (Bozarth, Handfield, and Das 1998;Marucheck et al. 2011;Handfield et al. 2013). For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, a typical sourcing decision will consist of manufacturing, packaging and distribution, all occurring in disparate geographic locations worldwide. ...

The escalation in product recalls in recent years is attributed to the rise of globalisation and associated challenges of offshoring. Extant SCM research suggests that product recalls have a significant negative impact on financial performance, but gaps exist relative to the managerial actions to minimise their impact. Recall response strategies have become more important in the press, given that a single recall may result in the mandatory withdrawal of millions of products from the market, with firms incurring enormous logistics costs and brand damage. In this study, we address this gap in the research, and using a measure of product recall defined as the volume of products withdrawn from the market due to product quality failure. We explore the scale of the recall in the context of pharmaceutical sector global sourcing strategies, exploring whether the variation in global sourcing decisions not only increases the likelihood of a recall, but also influences the capability to minimise the total cost of recall. Our results suggest that offshore outsourcing and captive offshoring have opposite effects in terms of their influence on the magnitude of product recall.

... SDR has become magnified as more organizations expand their global supply chain networks (Zsidisin and Wagner, 2010), are exposed to price and commodity risk (Fischl et al., 2014) and are required to have local content requirements that drives sourcing from (often financially unstable) local suppliers in emerging markets (Handfield and Krause, 1999). These conditions have escalated enterprise exposure to greater financial risks and probability of supply disruption (Handfield et al., 2013;Jüttner, 2005;Peck, 2005). Global expansion of supplier networks requires real-time monitoring of risk indications (e.g. ...

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine supplier financial risk through the lens of Enactment Theory, to explore the role of transparency and communication on buyers’ perceptions of supplier default risk. The authors develop a theoretical model proposing that buyer communication with suppliers leads to preemptive actions that may prevent supplier financial default and fewer supply disruptions. The results suggest that reducing equivocality in buyers through communication with suppliers leads to understanding of financial factors not captured through third-party financial indicators, leading to proactive risk mitigation activities that prevent disruptions during recessionary economic cycles. This research proposes that transparency and communication reduces equivocality in buyers, spurring them to take contractual actions that reduces, financial default in key suppliers, which leads to fewer supply disruptions.

Design/methodology/approach

Survey data collected from 175 firms in the North America and Brazil during a period of the global recession is used to test the impact of communication with suppliers on supply chain disruptions in periods of economic crisis. This relationship is mediated by proactive contract renegotiation and supplier financial health, supporting a model grounded in Enactment Theory.

Findings

Results show that buyers who regularly assess and develop an understanding of their key suppliers’ financial conditions are more likely to re-negotiate contracts that revise payment terms, leading to improved supplier working capital and fewer supply chain disruptions.

Research limitations/implications

Validation of industry-specific financial ratios and figures could provide a richer set of insights and some quantitative measures for establishing baseline on what levels of financial ratios actually result in disruptions. However, future research should consider using a cross-sectional sample and, in addition, a qualitative approach to capture risk from a greater variety of industries and supply chain dynamics.

Originality/value

The notion of effective communication flows as a means for reduction of supplier disruption risk is aligned with Enactment Theory views that emphasize the benefits of risk reduction. Equivocality is reduced in buyers through information exchange and formal assessments in complex environments. This research suggests that while such communication does not have a direct effect on supply disruption risk, it is mediated through proactive buyer actions to improve supplier financial health and contract re-negotiation mechanisms that may preempt financial distress. These are important lessons learned that provide guidelines for supply chain executives in future economic recessions that may occur in the coming years.

... A review of the literature revealed that such a modeling of talent management problem is unique and could potentially open a new set of research streams to further studies in talent management planning. As identified earlier, organizations need to align talent management plans with strategic operations planning, to ensure that they have the right people with the right capabilities in place to deploy intended processes \[46,47\]. The proposed model was applied to the human resource needs for the logistics division of a large mining and construction company, demonstrating the realistic application of the developed mathematical model to provide useful and accurate planning directives to its SCM and HR departments. ...

While executives emphasize that human resources (HR) are a firm’s biggest asset,
the level of research attention devoted to planning talent pipelines for complex global organizational
environments does not reflect this emphasis. Numerous challenges exist in establishing human
resource management strategies aligned with strategic operations planning and growth strategies.
We generalize the problem of managing talent from a supply–demand standpoint through a resource
acquisition lens, to an industrial business case where an organization recruits for multiple roles given
a limited pool of potential candidates acquired through a limited number of recruiting channels.
In this context, we develop an innovative analytical model in a stochastic environment to assist
managers with talent planning in their organizations. We apply supply chain concepts to the problem,
whereby individuals with specific competencies are treated as unique products. We first develop
a multi-period mixed integer nonlinear programming model and then exploit chance-constrained
programming to a linearized instance of the model to handle stochastic parameters, which follow
any arbitrary distribution functions. Next, we use an empirical study to validate the model with
a large global manufacturing company, and demonstrate how the proposed model can effectively
manage talents in a practical context. A stochastic analysis on the implemented case study reveals
that a reasonable improvement is derived from incorporating randomness into the problem.

The semantic dimension of the conceptual apparatus used in the studies of global logistics is analyzed.

Inaccuracies in the interpretation of a number of basic concepts, the use of differentiated categories as synonyms, the formulation of definitions of global logistics and its essence, which do not reflect the fundamental content of the phenomena, are established.

Essential signs of global logistics are revealed as an imperative consequence of the globalized world-economy. The content and functional differences of the concepts «logistics globalization factors» and «driving forces of logistics globalization» are disclosed. Definitions of the concepts «global logistics» and «the essence of global logistics» are formulated.

The aim of the scientific work carried out by the author is the development of a methodological approach to the scientific understanding of the content of transformation process of traditional logistics into a globalized industry and practical activities in the new conditions. The proposed methodological approach includes the essential semantic and functional notion of global logistics as a consequence of globalization of the world-economy, factors and driving forces of logistics globalization.

The importance of adopting the right methodological approach lies in the fact that it underlies the formation of a methodology that forms the initial basis of any kind of activity and determines a priori the degree of its effectiveness, including the scientific validity and practical importance of research into the process of transformation of traditional logistics into a globalized industry.

In recent surveys, chief executive officers of global companies mentioned the management of supply chain (SC) as an area of specific importance in their sustainability strategy (Accenture 2012;Handfield et al. 2013) but also the top barrier for improving corporate sustainability (UN Global Compact, 2013). Global sourcing causes an increase in SC complexity characterized by less transparency and control over suppliers, more transport emissions (Flotzinger et al. 2008) and increasing reliability on suppliers and sub-suppliers (Welford 2002). ...

Considerable efforts for research on sustainable supply chain management have become evident in the past years. Besides conceptual studies and quantitative models, empirical research on corporate practices has been contributing to promote reductions of impacts on the environment and society. The systematic combination of practices is, however, not yet approached in literature. Therefore, this chapter presents results derived from a systematic literature review based on a recently developed framework for managing sustainable supply chain practices. Through contingency analysis on the selected publications, correlations between the framework dimensions and categories enable the identification of dominating and underrepresented initiatives. Lastly, corporate reports published by five German automotive manufacturers are examined. Results show that both sustainable procurement and waste management practices are strongly correlated with a firm’s production management practices. Moreover, general issues of waste management are most often discussed in concert with distributional and customer relationship practices. In contrast, corporate governance and supplier relationship practices are implemented isolated from other initiatives. The apparent lack of integration between these practices motivated a second round of analysis, which considers 21 more specific categories. The findings are further compared to sustainability leaders’ examples to offer managerial insights and opportunities to enhance sustainable supply chain performance. This chapter focuses specifically on sustainable supply chain practices and introduces the concept of “initiative combination rent,” contributing nonetheless to further the understanding of how companies can improve supply chain and sustainability performance.

The performance of a storage policy in a warehouse is usually evaluated on the basis of the average one-way travel distance/time needed to store/retrieve a load. Dividing the storage space into zones based on item turnover frequency can reduce the travel distance. However, for a given number of stored items, a larger number of storage zones also requires more storage space, because of reduced space sharing between the items, which increases travel time. This study considers the required space consumption by storage zoning in comparing the performance of random, full turnover-based and class-based storage policies for a unit-load warehouse operated by a forklift in single-command mode. A generalised travel distance model that considers the required space consumption is developed to compare the performance of these policies. Results show that the one-way travel distance of a random policy decreases with the increase in skewness of the demand curve. By considering the required space consumption, a class-based storage policy performs generally better than a full turnover-based policy. In addition, the optimal warehouse shape factor (ratio of warehouse width to depth) appears to decrease with the skewness of the demand curve. Warehouse managers are advised to adopt a wide-shallow warehouse layout when the item demands are approximately equal, whereas a narrow-deep layout is preferred when the demand curves are steep.

... As noted earlier, the tolerance for corruption in oil and gas procurement environments is directly related to the level of transparency associated with the regional culture (Ebrahim et al., 2014). In addition, there are significant challenges that exist in commodity volatility associated with major raw material inputs into oil and gas exploration as well as downstream capital projects, including fabricated steel, nickel, copper and other major commodities (Handfield et al., 2013). This requires significant effort to hedge prices for these commodities, as well as to monitor and to plan for purchases against uncertain project schedules, leading to significant shortfalls between supply and demand. ...

Project success has been a central topic in the project management literature. The high volatility attended with oil and gas upstream projects has enhanced the need for relational contracting approaches. Successful Large International Engineering and Construction Projects can deliver value to project parties (clients, sponsors, contractors, subcontractors, etc.) and other stakeholders (users, investors, communities affected by the project, etc.) in the project supply chain. Supply chain and procurement strategies play a significant role in project success, due to their impact on project value and on the way project risks are managed. In this study, we review insights gleaned from 13 oil and gas senior procurement executives, from which we derive a set of propositions and some preliminary results related to the success of these elements. In general, we find that relationship management plays a critical role in the outcomes associated with oil and gas project success. Procurement relationship management practices affect the way the needs of project stakeholders outside the contract (users, suppliers, communities affected by the project, etc.) are attended as well as the way project relationships are managed inside and outside project teams. As a result, those strategies are also related to important drivers of project success, such as relationship and stakeholder management.

... According to a recent survey of 1,700 supply chain executives in North America, Europe, Brazil, China, Russia, and the Middle East, the number one top logistics objective was "meeting customer expectations," followed by "on-time delivery." A majority of managers believe that customers can change delivery orders based on 10 days or less, and over 50% indicated that this window could be 1 day or less (Handfield, Straube, Pfohl & Wieland, 2013). To achieve this ability to rapidly respond to changes in delivery and schedule volume and to accept late mix changes, organizations have taken steps to invest in visibility systems, work with suppliers to improve communication, and have designed products with more modular product structures that enable quicker configuration to customer orders. ...

Prior research has underscored the importance of internal and external supply chain integration, but the growing role of the supply management organization in developing this capability is not well specified. In this research, we explore the concept of supply management alignment, defined as the behavioral characteristics and process requirements for understanding and explicitly outlining internal stakeholder needs, and linking these to supplier performance agreements. Using the lens of dynamic capabilities, we propose a theoretical model for creating supply management alignment. This model presents the synergistic effects derived through strong internal lines of communication combined with external supply relationships based on defined metrics and processes. The underlying set of requirements to achieve supply management alignment is proposed and tested in this model, thereby enhancing our understanding of the processes and behaviors required for integration of internal stakeholder needs with external suppliers, which can lead to improved performance. We explore the complementary effects of supply management alignment on network agility and supplier performance improvements. Data from 151 UK manufacturing firms are used to test the model. The results provide a unifying framework tying together many of the prescriptive elements of strategic sourcing into a more coherent theoretical model and establish the basis for future studies of supply management alignment capabilities.This article is protected by copyright.

No obstante su relevancia, el nivel de conocimiento sobre su desempeño es escaso, notablemente menor que el registrado en el caso de otros modos de transporte, como el ferrocarril, el transporte marítimo o el transporte aéreo. Así, la presente publicación tiene por objeto contribuir al avance del conocimiento del TAC en la región. Parasu preparación, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) llevó a cabo diversos estudios sectoriales de alcance nacional y subregional en que se incluyen 14 países.

A necessary prerequisite for a success factor “logistics” is the positive contribution of logistics services to the value creation of a company or the entire supply chain. This raises the fundamental question of the value-added contribution of logistics services. The concept of value in economics has a long tradition and is a very complex phenomenon that cannot be discussed comprehensively here. However, if one follows Large, then three elementary value creation processes can be distinguished: transformation processes, transfer processes and transaction processes. Each of these processes generates a relative value property, which is indispensable for the creation of the use value of a good. Transformation processes create the suitability value of goods. Transactions establish the legal availability by transferring rights of disposal. Logistics creates the factual availability of goods for a demander by transfer processes, which can also be called spatio-temporal goods transformations.

Starting from increasing dynamics and complexity in the competitive environment, the understanding of the “human resource” is developing more and more away from the “cost factor in the company” towards the “most important resource in the company“. If one considers current theories of strategic management, the knowledge-based approach (“Knowledge-based View”) to explain entrepreneurial competitive advantages captures this change best: It defines the factor knowledge as the central resource for achieving competitive advantages. Knowledge is always bound to the employees, who apply their knowledge, create new knowledge and thus form the basis for a learning organization. This knowledge orientation is the basis for mastering the complexity and dynamics as characteristic factors of logistics management.

Interfaces can generally be defined as system boundaries. Logistical interfaces are therefore boundaries between a particular logistics system and other logistics systems or with other types of systems (e.g. procurement, production or sales systems). Since the flow of goods and information through a company or between companies always crosses several technical, organizational or legal systems, interfaces play a major role in the logistics conception. After all, the core of the logistics conception is to design the interfaces between the logistics subsystems in such a way that logistics problems can be solved on the basis of systems thinking. Figure 17.1 provides an overview of logistics interfaces, which are classified according to the type of transmission object (goods or information) and the type of interface (type of system boundary).

The starting point for statements about the integration of logistics tasks into the organizational structure of companies is the logistics conception. It can be deduced from the logistics conception that logistics tasks can only be performed efficiently if all the processes required for this purpose are viewed as a whole and performed in a correspondingly coordinated manner. The demand for coordinated performance of individual logistical tasks directly addresses the organizational structure of logistics, because the organizational structure of a company is formed by the rules that govern the division of labor and coordination.

Although the term “project” is well established in science, in everyday business and private life, no generally acceptable definition has yet been established. The ISO 21500 series of standards, which deals with projects and project management, is the most accepted definition.

The paper examines the current features of bank lending to agricultural enterprises in Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It is proved that the agricultural entrepreneurship of the compared countries’ economies increasingly needs the financial investments, necessary for the renewal and technological modernization of production. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the state of lending to agricultural enterprises in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, study its volume, identify the main directions of changes in its structure by type of credit services, as well as assess trends and prospects for its development. Section 1 of the article identifies the features of banks’ credit policy concerning lending to agricultural enterprises. It is presented the methodological approach to the comparative assessment of the development of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It is identified the main provisions of strategies for the development of agricultural production in Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It is substantiated features of banks’ credit policy in lending to agricultural enterprises, which restrain the active growth of lending to the agro-industrial complex. Section 2 of the article provides a comparative description of Ukraine and Kazakhstan in terms of credit support to the industry. It is established that the most attractive for bank lending are large agricultural enterprises in terms of production and yield. It is proved the importance of direct state financial support for economic entities of the agro-industrial complex through the mechanisms of cheaper loans and compensation of lease payments. In the final section, the authors highlight the key priorities of accelerating the development of bank lending to agricultural enterprises in Ukraine and Kazakhstan by increasing budget support, rational use of budget funds, lower interest rates for agriculture, improving methods of assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers with concern of specific production.

Risk management and corporate social responsibility took roles play how to manage global supply chain energy efficiency strategy and international logistics. All is based on facts-simulations, causes & impacts in transportation, production, and warehouse management”. In term of transportation in global supply chain shows for tracking performance systems hould be applied on appropriate standardized. Particularly for hazardous products. So that, the pollution level can be anticipated and calculated in exact level. The most important one is also the external level, so called leadership factor. This factor will reflect the corporate social responsibility performance.The type of production system which connected to global supply chain system is the most difficult one. Why do we have difficulties on this one? Because, some enterprises or countries for some extent could not make a better choice in term of scarcity for certain type of energy resources. For the warehouse section, the author found the result that electricity sector with real time data base has been giving realistic the way of energy efficiency of global supply chain.The energy efficiency in global supply chain is a perspective that efficiency energy in global level could be perform by any type of product, mainly on energy matter. By focusing on how to transport them, the way of production system, and how to build up warehouse system to keep source of energy become more efficient to serve end users.

Intermodal logistics networks such as the maritime transport chain require a precise interaction of numerous actors. However, due to their complexity, the closely interlinked processes are highly susceptible to disruptions. Companies are constantly faced with the challenge of dealing effectively and efficiently with disruptions and resultant delays. At the same time, they are confronted with increasing logistical requirements related to higher quality and flexibility demands of customers (Straube et al. 2013). Supply chains are becoming increasingly vulnerable, due to the associated necessity to cope with increasing volatility while simultaneously reducing risk buffers in processes as a result of rising cost pressure. Combined with ongoing changes due to digitization, this situation contributes significantly to an increasing need for improved information transparency among companies and their customers.

p>На сегодняшний день информация расширяется с геометрической прогрессией за счет развития технологий в этой области и появления новых устройств. Однако обработка этих данных ставит все новые задачи перед исследователями, так как в подавляющем большинстве они являются неструктурированными и хаотичными. Это привело к появлению нового направления Big Data, в рамках которого формируются подходы к исследованию больших объемов данных для выявления шаблонов и раскрытия новой информации.

В рамках бизнес-процессов наиболее успешным и перспективным направлением является использование данных технологий в рамках логистистических процессов компаний. В связи с этим на основании эмпиричесского изучения актуального опыта зарубежных и российских компаний в данной области авторы систематизировали наиболее успешные, по их мнению, примеры, когда технологические нововведения в области Big Data позволили компаниям принципиально увеличить эффективность их деятельности. В результате было выделено пять наиболее успешных направлений в области логистики: маршрутизация товаров и транспортных средств; планирование оперативной мощности компаний, анализ степени удовлетворенности клиентов, планирование бизнес-спроса. В рамках проведенного анализа авторы не только фиксируют появление новых специфических трендов и информационных решений в данной области, но и делают акцент на том, как использование определенных технологий в области Big Data способствовало повышению эффективности работы компании в целом.

Вместе с тем, несмотря на достижения в области технологических и методологических аспектов больших данных, существует большой неиспользованный потенциал в этой области для российских компаний, нераскрытие которого может привести к ослаблению их позиций уже в ближайшем будущем в высококонкурентных отраслях.</p

A short critical review of the logistics performance is made following two steps: using the deductive approach, the state of development of logistics as a discipline and its scope are compared. Following the example of green surface freight and using the inductive approach, limitations of the existing logistics performance concept are shown. Both steps should underline the need to set a systematic and interdisciplinary theoretical framework and to establish methods of logistical performance measurement in order to cope with the growing complexity of business in the era of digitalization and sustainability.

In den Häfen der Welt als unabdingbaren Schnittstellen globaler Supply Chains steht derzeit die Digitalisierung mit Ihren Auswirkungen auf die Transport- und Logistikwirtschaft ganz oben auf der Agenda. Ein anderes, für die langfristige strategische Entwicklung der Branche bedeutenderes Thema, nämlich die Nachhaltigkeit, gerät damit ein Stück weit aus dem aktuellen Blickfeld. Tatsächlich aber haben sich bereits viele Häfen längst den Herausforderungen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung gestellt und sich als Treiber von Green Ports-Strategien positioniert. Sie tun dies zum einen, um sich im verschärfenden Wettbewerb um die Kunden und zwischen Häfen und Regionen zu behaupten und zum anderen, in dem Bewusstsein, dass nur so ein dauerhaft leistungsfähiges, nachfragegerechtes und wirtschaftliches Transportwesen aufrecht erhalten werden kann. Am Beispiel der Bremischen Nachhaltigkeitsinitiative „greenports“ beschreibt dieser Artikel Maßnahmen und Aktivitäten, mit denen Häfen aktiven Einfluss auf die Gestaltung nachhaltiger Supply Chains nehmen und so ihre Rolle neu definieren.

Ausgangspunkt für Aussagen über die Eingliederung logistischer Aufgaben in die Aufbauorganisation von Unternehmen ist die Logistikkonzeption. Aus der Logistikkonzeption lässt sich ableiten, dass logistische Aufgaben nur dann effizient erfüllt werden können, wenn alle dafür erforderlichen Prozesse als Ganzheit betrachtet und dementsprechend koordiniert vollzogen werden. Mit der Forderung nach koordinierter Erfüllung der logistischen Einzelaufgaben ist unmittelbar die Aufbauorganisation der Logistik angesprochen; denn die Organisationsstruktur eines Unternehmens wird durch die Regeln gebildet, die die Arbeitsteilung und Koordination betreffen

Schnittstellen lassen sich generell als Systemgrenzen definieren. Logistische Schnittstellen sind demnach Grenzen zwischen einem bestimmten Logistiksystem und anderen Logistiksystemen bzw. mit anderen Arten von Systemen (z. B. Beschaffungs-, Produktions- oder Absatzsysteme). Da der Güter- und Informationsfluss durch ein Unternehmen bzw. zwischen Unternehmen immer mehrere technische, organisatorische oder rechtliche Systeme durchquert, spielen Schnittstellen in der Logistikkonzeption eine große Rolle.

Ausgehend von steigender Dynamik und Komplexität im Wettbewerbsumfeld entwickelt sich das Verständnis der „Ressource Personal“ immer mehr weg vom „Kostenfaktor im Unternehmen“ hin zur „wichtigsten Ressource im Unternehmen“. Betrachtet man aktuelle Theorien des strategischen Managements, erfasst der wissensbasierte Ansatz („Knowledge–based View“) zur Erklärung von unternehmerischen Wettbewerbsvorteilen diesen Wandel sicher am besten: Er definiert den Faktor Wissen als zentrale Ressource zur Erzielung von Wettbewerbsvorteilen. Wissen ist dabei immer an die Mitarbeiter gebunden, die ihr Wissen anwenden, neues Wissen schaffen und damit die Grundlage bilden für eine lernende Organisation. Diese Wissensorientierung ist die Basis für die Beherrschung der Komplexität und Dynamik als kennzeichnende Faktoren des Logistikmanagements.

Logistik ist vor allem in wirtschaftlich entwickelten Gesellschaften ein allgegenwärtiges Phänomen. Traditionelle Unternehmen der Grundstoffindustrie können ebensowenig auf Massenguttransporte verzichten, wie junge Unternehmen der Informationsindustrie auf die Dienstleistungen der Kurier-, Express- und Paketdienste, um ihre Kunden schnell und zuverlässig zu beliefern.

Betrachtet man die Logistik als betriebswirtschaftliche Funktion, so umfasst diese nicht nur die Realisation der Güterflüsse und der damit zusammenhängenden Objektflüsse, sondern auch das Management der logistischen Aufgaben. Die Logistik setzt sich aus Managementaufgaben und ausführenden Aufgaben zusammen.
Zur Konkretisierung der Aufgaben des Managements soll auf die Gliederung von Ulrich und Fluri zurückgegriffen werden, die vier Grundfunktionen des Managements unterscheiden: (1) Unternehmensphilosophie, Unternehmensethik und Unternehmenspolitik, (2) Unternehmensplanung und -kontrolle, (3) Organisation und Führung und (4) Führungskräfteentwicklung.In Anlehnung an diese vier Grundfunktionen wird das Logistikmanagement in folgende Teilfunktionen untergliedert:

Notwendige Voraussetzung für einen Erfolgsfaktor „Logistik“ ist der positive Beitrag der Logistikleistungen zur Wertschöpfung eines Unternehmens bzw. der gesamten Supply Chain. Damit ist die grundsätzliche Frage nach dem Wertschöpfungsbeitrag logistischer Leistungen aufgeworfen. Der Wertbegriff in der Wirtschaftswissenschaft hat eine lange Tradition und ist ein sehr vielschichtiges Phänomen, das an dieser Stelle nicht umfassend diskutiert werden kann. Folgt man Large, dann lassen sich jedoch drei elementare Wertschöpfungsprozesse unterscheiden: Transformationsprozesse, Transferprozesse und Transaktionsprozesse. Jeder dieser Prozesse erzeugt eine relative Werteigenschaft, die jede für sich zur Entstehung von Gebrauchswert eines Gutes unabdingbar ist. Aus den Transformationsprozessen entsteht der Eignungswert der Güter. Transaktionen stellen durch die Übertragung von Verfügungsrechten die rechtliche Verfügbarkeit her.

Das TQM-Konzept ist ein auf das ganze Unternehmen ausgerichtetes Managementkonzept. Die Charakterisierung dieses Managementkonzepts lässt sich aus den Begriffsbestandteilen ableiten:
– T: Integration aller Mitarbeiter– Q: Qualitätsorientierung am Kunden– M: Managementfunktionen im TQM-KonzeptTQM zeichnet sich durch eine starke Mitarbeiterorientierung aus. Der Begriff „Total“ steht für die Integration aller Mitarbeiter in das Qualitätskonzept. Nicht nur einzelne Abteilungen, sondern alle betrieblichen Ebenen und Prozesse sind Qualitätsvariablen. Die innerbetriebliche Wechselbeziehung zwischen betriebswirtschaftlichen Funktionen haben zur Folge, dass verschiedene betriebliche Leistungsprozesse direkt oder indirekt miteinander verknüpft sind.

Roboter werden bereits seit mehreren Jahrzehnten erfolgreich in der Produktion eingesetzt. Der Technologietransfer in die Logistik ist an vielen Stellen bereits weit vorangeschritten. Dennoch gibt es noch große Herausforderungen, die überwunden werden müssen, um einen flächendeckenden und effektiven Einsatz von Robotik in der Logistik zu gewährleisten. Der vorliegende Artikel betrachtet die Entwicklung der Robotik sowie der Intralogistikbranche als Anwendungsfeld für Roboter. Anhand eines Fallbeispiels werden darüber hinaus die Herausforderungen an eine Robotiklösung in einem logitischen Anwendungsfeld aufgezeigt. Weiterhin werden die Potenziale und Hemnisse für den Robotereinsatz in der Logistik näher beleuchtet und Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbedarfe dargelegt.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore what potential benefits may be achieved by using advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems in the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper investigates benefits at the S&OP process level by interviewing APS experts and APS users. Several methods have been used; literature review, Delphi study, and a case study at a company in the chemical industry which uses APS system support in the S&OP process.

Findings
Three types of potential benefits were found to be achieved when using APS systems in the S&OP process; benefits concerning decision support, planning efficiency and learning effects. The most common type was decision support benefits according to APS users and APS experts. The results from the case company showed that the benefits perceived in the different S&OP activities differed. In the activities concerning the preparation and generation of delivery plans, the perceived benefits mainly concerned learning effects. In the activities concerning the generation of a production plan, the benefits were foremost found in planning efficiency. In the S&OP meeting decision support benefits were highest valued. The reason for the different results can be explained by the aim of the activity, how APS was used in the activity, the user characteristics and the design of the model and access and quality of planning data.

Research limitations/implications
The focus of this paper is on potential benefits of APS systems in the S&OP process only, not the costs. It has established a typology of potential benefits. No validation in form of statistical analysis has been done. The empirical analysis is mainly based on findings from a single case study.

Practical implications
The findings about the types of APS potential will assist companies in understanding the benefits they can expect from its use in the S&OP process. The case study analysis gives further insight into how APS can be employed and what benefits different APS user categories can expect when it is used in an appropriate way.

Originality/value
The knowledge about which benefits that can be achieved when using APS in the S&OP process is quite unexplored. This paper fills some of these gaps.

Purpose – This paper aims to assess the usefulness of cost-to-serve for customer profitability management through literature review and a case study in a food-industry company. Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on a case study. The study presents the state-of-the-art of the literature review related to cost-to-serve measurement and customer profitability analysis and a case study of a Brazilian food-industry company with high operational complexity and an extensive customer product and commercial service line. Findings – The literature review demonstrates that few empirical studies have actually addressed the problem of cost-to-serve measurement and customer profitability analysis. The findings of the study show that the measurement of cost-to-serve provides specific and detailed customer information that enables a more comprehensive customer profitability analysis than the classical paradigm. Research limitations/implications – A single case study does not allow the results to be generalized to other organizations. Originality/value – The paper includes a comprehensive review of literature and the empirical case study in a Brazilian food company offers additional insights in cost-to-serve measurement and customer profitability analysis.

In the past 25 years, major original-equipment manufacturers have delegated the management of their supply chains to a handful of first-tier suppliers. Although this approach frees OEMs from the task of building and supervising supply subsystems, speeds up product introductions, and helps manufacturers secure larger volume discounts, it has gone too far. In this article, Choi, of Arizona State University, and Linton, a former chief procurement officer of LG Electronics, point out the dangers of relinquishing so much power to first-tier suppliers: It weakens an OEM's ability to control costs, stay on top of critical technology developments and shifts in demand, and ensure that suppliers are operating in a socially and environmentally sustainable fashion. The solution is for an OEM to selectively establish direct relationships with key lower-tier suppliers. Specifically, an OEM should form close ties with vendors that have a significant impact on its cost of goods sold, have strong innovation potential, pose sustainability risks, and can provide insights into important trends. Implementing this approach isn't simple it may require reshaping the entire purchasing function. But it's essential for manufacturers that want to stay ahead of competitors.
