Dissolving Bologna: tensions between citizenship and the logistics city

The contemporary crisis of the nation-State’s paradigms lead to the resurgence of the city as a political space of action. However, the very concept of the city itself is being profoundly reshaped by new global processes. During the last years a cycle of struggles in Northern Italy’s logistics sector, with an epicentre in Bologna, has revealed many aspects of this crisis of the traditional …

Determination and evaluation of the factors of outsourcing logistics

This paper focusess on the determination and evaluation of the factors of logistic outsourching. Many authors usually talk about logistic service outsourcing and it reason and benefit as well, but if some functions of the service are not outsourced, we can not really entitle “outsourcing” as the whole service providing. If logistic actifity if one or several functions are outsourced it is n…

Determine the optimal carrier selection for a logistics network based on mult…

From the perspective of supply chain management, the selected carrier plays an important role in freight delivery. This article proposes a new criterion of multi-commodity reliability and optimises the carrier selection based on such a criterion for logistics networks with routes and nodes, over which multiple commodities are delivered. Carrier selection concerns the selection of exactly one ca…

Determinants and Effects of Logistics Costs in Container Ports: The Transacti…

Many countries seek to become a global logistics center linking major trading ports. They are competitively constructing container ports. The aggressive competition creates overcapacity situation in the container port sector. Massive investments are required to construct container ports with terminals, docks, storage areas and hinterlands. Nevertheless, it is not easy for container ports to hav…

Information Technology as the Main Competence in the Design of the Strategic …

The creation of logistical support structures aims to help improve the performance of logistics along supply chains, a context where the Logistics Platforms have been gaining increasing prominence. A frequent difficulty in these ventures is to align strategic planning with the flow of cargo and the ability of the adjacent port areas. Aiming to contribute to the understanding of the importance o…

Defining maritime logistics hub and its implication for container port

Since the hub-and-spoke concept was introduced to the aviation market after the US airline deregulation in the late 1970s, it becomes a primary distribution model employed by leading international logistics companies. This pattern drives the companies to consolidate shipments on the large scale at major terminals (i.e. hub) and to redistribute the smaller scale of shipments to their respective …

Comparative North American and European Gateway Logistics: The Regionalism of…

The global freight distribution system has been impacted by convergence in terms of technology, infrastructure, modes and terminals. Still, in spite of strong converging forces, it can be argued that logistical practices are far from being uniform. This paper analyses the regionalism in freight transport systems by providing a comparative analysis of gateway logistics practices in North America…

Carbon management in the logistics and transportation sector: an overview and…

While many studies have addressed the issue of environmental sustainability within the supply chain as a whole, so far no attempt has been made to specifically investigate the current status of carbon management issues in the logistics and freight transportation sector. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a systematic literature review of publications in the area of carbon management …

Bi-objective optimization for the container terminal integrated planning

In this paper, we study the joint optimization of the tactical berth allocation and the tac- tical yard allocation in container terminals, which typically consist of berth side and yard side operations. The studied two objectives are: (i) the minimization of the violation of the vessels’ expected turnaround time windows with the purpose of meeting the timeta- bles published by shipping liners…

Assessing a cross-border logistics policy using a performance measurement sys…

For the most rapidly growing economic entity in the world, China, a new logistics operation called the indirect cross-border supply chain model has recently emerged. The primary idea of this model is to reduce logistics costs by storing goods at a bonded warehouse with low storage cost in certain Chinese regions, such as the Pearl River Delta (PRD). This research proposes a performance measurem…

Automobile production is a worldwide industry in which quality has always been a very prominent and pertinent issue. There exists, however, certain links in the logistical chain that involve local initiatives in the finishing of the final product – including final testing, repairs to breakdowns and damage that occurred during transport operations. There also exists a group of steps or links i…

Quality assurance in the maritime port logistics chain: the case of Valencia,…

The provision of port services is an important link in international logistics. Historically, ports have constituted a bottleneck in maritime transport. Moreover, the quality of port services has been compromised by the complex internal port organisation and the considerable number of bodies that participate in the transfer of goods between ships and inland transport vehicles. The efficiency of…

Organizing for network synergy in logistics A case study

Synergism can be defined as the co-operative action of discrete agencies such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the effects taken independently. The concept has formed one of the key components of the various strategy formulation frameworks and has been used especially for motivating corporate growth through diversification. However, as many diversification strategies failed and …

Maritime Logistics and Supply Chain Security

Despite a hangover from the worldwide economic crisis, international trade rebounded nicely with a record-level growth in late 2010. A sharp rise in international trade has sparked the international traffic growth. A majority of this traffic growth originated from maritime logistics which could move cargoes in large volume and at cheaper freight costs. Due to its cost-efficiency and easy acces…

Evaluation of alternative logistics operations for the national supply of an …

One result of the continuing current competitive environment in Australia is cost pressure on the supply of manufacturing commodities such as anhydrous sodium sulphate. Commodity suppliers do not have much scope for providing value-added services. Anhydrous sodium sulphate, for example, is mostly brought to the customer’s attention when negative service characteristics occur – stocks run lo…

Economies of Speed in Sea Transportation

Investing in large ships has been the traditional way of increasing the capacity of cargo transportation and raising the profitability of shipping through higher freight income. The economies of scale have been achieved, however, at higher fixed costs and higher operational risks because of fluctuating demand for transportation services. A more flexible way to increase the cargo carrying capaci…

PORT OPERATIONS, PLANNING AND LOGISTICS

Ports are critical infrastructure resources and serve a key role in the transportation of freight and people. With more than 80% of international trade by volume being carried by sea, ports are vital for seaborne trade and international commerce. Ports are the critical nodal interfaces where maritime transport connects with other modes of tra sport and where trading, distribution and logistics…

Solving simulation optimization problems on grid computing systems

The optimal assignment of berth slots and cranes to shipping services is the central logistics problem at modern marine container terminals and should be formulated to specifically account for its stochastic nature. We use a computational grid to solve a major seaport logistic problem by a simulation optimization approach centred around a queuing network model of the logistic process of interes…
