A Transportation Problem with Uncertain Costs and Random Supplies

Transportation problem is an optimization problem. In general, it was studied under random or uncertain condition. Considering the recent complexity, it is not enough to make should be a perfect transportation plan only based on. Usually, there is not only uncertainty but also randomness in many systems. In this paper, the aim is to investigate a transportation problem under uncertain and rando…

Dealing with uncertainty and volatility in the port industry network: social …

The recent proliferation of inter-firm collaborative linkages within the container port industry is progressively shaping a complex architecture of voluntary ties among terminal operators, i.e. an inter-organizational network. Within the overall industry network, some stable groups of densely interconnected firms emerge suggesting the existence of “cliques” where firms repeatedly cooperate …

A novel approach to yard planning under vessel arrival uncertainty

Many container terminals in the world adopt the consolidated yard planning strategy, where containers to be loaded into the same vessel are stacked in groups. This has been a good strategy because when a vessel is loading, yard cranes will be stationed at these locations, and the trucks shuttle between the quay cranes and the yard cranes almost in a conveyor belt fashion. These locations are op…

Modeling airport capacity choice with real options

This study models airport capacity choice when a real option for expansion can be pur- chased. Facing demand uncertainty, an airport first determines the capacity for immediate investment (the prior capacity) and the size of the land or other resources to be reserved for possible future expansion (the reserve). Once demand is observed, the airport can use a portion of the reserve to build extra…

An uncertain model for RCPSP with solution robustness focusing on logistics p…

Logistics project scheduling problem in indeterminate environment is gaining more and more attention in recent years. One effective way to cope with indeterminacy is to develop robust baseline schedule. There exist many related researches on building robust schedule in stochastic environment, where historical data is sufficient to learn probability distributions. However, when historical data i…

An emergency order allocation model based on multi-provider in two-echelon lo…

On one side, the purpose of this paper is to numerically analyze the emergency order allocation mechanism and help managers to understand the relationship between the emergency coefficient, uncertainty and emergency cost in two-echelon logistics service supply chain. On the other side, the purpose of this paper is to help managers understand how to deal with the problem of order allocation in t…

Uncertainty, the critical basis of risk management

The objective of this paper is to scan the extent of uncertainty and hesitation in the development of plans and strategy.

Speeding up the progress curve towards effective supply chain management

Introduces a supply chain “health check” procedure successfully applied in the European automotive sector and presents the results for the analysis of 20 trans‐European value streams covering a wide range of first and second tier suppliers. The health check procedure is activated via a quick scan methodology (QSM) requiring execution by a multi‐disciplinary team working on‐site. The d…

Logistics flexibility: a systematic review

There is a lack of consensus in conceptualizing and defining logistics flexibility as a distinct construct among supply chain scholars. The purpose of this paper is to systematically analyze the existing literature on logistics flexibility.

The impact of e-commerce on supply chain relationships

E‐commerce is such a new phenomenon that little research has addressed the effects it has on relationships in supply chains. A qualitative study was conducted with eight e‐commerce companies in order to construct theoretical relationships with which to develop a grounded theory of the impact of e‐commerce on managing supply chain relationships. The e‐commerce environment was perceived a…

Supply chain networks design and transfer-pricing

The purpose of this paper is to provide a new modelling framework for distribution network strategy and to study how various transfer-pricing schemes cope with stochastic demand under different countries tax policies.

Evaluating the causes of uncertainty in logistics operations

The purpose of this paper is to verify a transport uncertainty triad model taking a supply chain perspective, and determine which different forms of uncertainty impact on transport operations. The aim is to qualitatively evaluate the different types of uncertainty impacting on transport operations rather than estimating the risk that each of them involved. The literature indicates that there ar…

Logistics management in practice – towards theories of complex logistics

The purpose of this paper is to present findings concerning what logistics managers perceive as being difficult and challenging, and what implications this may have for further advances in the logistics discipline

International supply chain agility Tradeoffs between flexibility and uncertainty

Firms operating in an international environment face a host of uncertainties that make it difficult to meet deadlines reliably. To be reliable in an uncertain and changing environment, firms must be able to quickly respond to changes. The ability to do this in a useful time frame is called agility. Unfortunately, measures taken to increase agility often lead to increases in complexity, which wo…

Establishing a transport operation focused uncertainty model for the supply c…

Much of the recent research on supply chain uncertainty has focused on relationships between manufacturers and suppliers and existing models have therefore been based on this dyadic structure. The aim is to establish a supply chain uncertainty model that explicitly incorporates transport operations and hence the logistics triad; supplier, customer and transport carrier.

The Influencing Factors of Logistics Integration and Customer Service Perform…

The aim of this research is to analyze the relationships between environmental uncertainty (EU), logistics information systems (LIS), logistics integration (LI) such as internal integration (II) and external integration (EI) and customer service performance (CSP) of port logistics firms. This research verified the relationships between variables by an analysis of structural equation modeli…

On uncertainty in supply chain risk management

The concept of uncertainty is a relevant yet little understood area within supply chain risk management. Risk is often associated with uncertainty, but in reality uncertainty is a much more elaborate concept and deserves more in-depth scrutiny. To bridge this gap, the purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework for assessing the levels and nature of uncertainty in this context.

Exploring information sharing in the extended supply chain: an interdependenc…

This paper aims to empirically explore demand-related information sharing in the extended supply chain.

An integrated shipment planning and storage capacity decision under uncertain…

In transportation and distribution systems, the shipment decisions, fleet capacity, and storage capacity are interrelated in a complex way, especially when the authors take into account uncertainty of the demand rate and shipment lead time. While shipment planning is tactical or operational in nature, increasing storage capacity often requires top management’s authority. The purpose of this p…

Identifying sources of uncertainty to generate supply chain redesign strategies

Dynamic demands and constraints imposed by a rapidly changing business environment make it increasingly necessary for companies in the food supply chain to cooperate with each other. The main questions individual (food) companies face are whether, why, how and with whom they should start supply chain management activities. Presents a qualitative research method for analyzing a supply chain ne…

A fuzzy rule-based bayesian reasoning method for analysing the necessity of s…

The global economic and financial conditions in 2010 and 2011 were positive and the business trade grew at about twice of the rate of that in 2009. The container shipping players started to enjoy a new chapter of international business trade having struggled to operate their vessels since 2008. So we now have to consider if the shipping business will return to its old strategy? What will happen…
