Virtual logistics- transport in the marketspace

While transport seems to be increasingly constrained in its mission to supply services which are continuous, costless and available in all directions, the telecommunications system seems to have no such constraints and to be developing ever more rapidly in terms of inter‐connectivity, falling costs and multi‐directionality. It would seem to be impossible to contemplate the future demand for…

A meta-analysis of DEA and SFA studies of the technical efficiency of seaport

This paper presents a meta-analysis of variations in seaports’ Mean Technical Efficiency (MTE) scores based on 40 studies published in refereed academic journals. We link the variation in estimated MTE scores to differences in the following factors: the frontier methodology used, which essentially are the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA); regions wher…

Rimbaud in java : the lost voyage

In A Season in Hell, at the age of eighteen, the French poet Arthur Rimbaud predicted the rest of his life: 'My day is done; I'm leaving Europe. The sea air will burn my lungs; lost climes will tan my skin.' Three years later, in 1876, he joined the Royal Army of the Dutch Indies as an infantryman and sailed for Java, where he promptly deserted and fled into the jungle. It was the most enigmati…

Performance consulting : A Strategic Process to Improve, Measure, and Sustain…

In America, organizations spend $175 billion in training initiatives and more than $500 billion in human resource solutions every year yet often have little to show for it. One reason is that people “jump to solutions” before they identify the causes of the problem. Performance consultants are effective because they partner with clients to clarify business goals and determine root causes fo…

Developing a consensus definition of supply chain management: a qualitative s…

Without the adoption of a uniform agreed upon definition of supply chain management (SCM), researchers and practitionerswill not be able to “advance the theory and practice” of the discipline. An integrated definition of SCM would greatly benefit researchers’ efforts to study the phenomenon of SCM and those practitioners attempting to implement SCM. This paper aims to address these issues.

Customer logistics service may mean different things to various organizations!

Presents two probabilistic recurrent mode…
