Low-carbon hydrogen is a promising option for energy security and decarbonization. Cooperation is needed to ensure the widespread use of low-carbon energy. Cooperation among hydrogen supply chain (HSC) agents is essential to overcome the high costs, the lack of infrastructure that needs heavy...

Value chain data is crucial for navigating economic disruptions. Yet, despite its importance, we lack publicly available product-level value chain datasets, since resources such as the "World Input-Output Database", "Inter-Country Input-Output Tables", "EXIOBASE", and "EORA", lack information...

Recently, policymakers’ interest in short supply chains (SSCs), i.e., removing the non-value-adding intermediaries in the supply chain, has increased as these are seen as a means of supporting employment and sustainability goals. This article aims to elaborate on the understanding of SSCs,...

A magyar közbeszerzés hatékonyságnövelésének kulcsa a piaci szereplők szerint 2009 óta a közbeszerzési kultúra fejlesztése és a korrupció visszaszorítása, nem pedig a közbeszerzési szabályozás megváltoztatása. Az öt alkalommal is megismételt kérdőíves felmérésünk...

Food Supply Chains (FSCs) have become increasingly complex with the average distance between producers and consumers rising considerably in the past two decades. Consequently, FSCs are a major source of carbon emissions and reducing transportation costs a major challenge for businesses. To...

Fairness in agri-food supply chains receives increasing consumer, industry, and political attention but is currently under-conceptualized and lacks appropriate frameworks for measurement. Therefore, building on a theoretically grounded conceptualization of consumer dispositions toward fairness...

This systematic literature review critically examines the influence of technology on transparency and humanitarian logistics between 2010 and 2023. The study employs the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methodology to analyze a comprehensive selection...

A Covid-19, majd az orosz–ukrán konfliktus drámai hatással volt a globális élelmiszer-kereskedelemre. Ennek gazdasági (például az energiaár-robbanás, inputok megdrágulása), illetve a mezőgazdasági termelés esetében környezeti (például az aszály) hatásai még...

Companies have implemented Lean to increase efficiency and competitiveness. However, the importance of Ergonomics is often neglected, resulting in ergonomic problems and lower profitability and acceptance of Lean . This study presents a comprehensive approach to Operations and Production...

Abstract Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have proven to be useful tools for combinatorial optimisation. However, they are still underutilised in facility layout problems (FLPs). At the same time, RL research relies on standardised benchmarks such as the Arcade Learning Environment. To...

Purpose: Cloud manufacturing (CM) represents a new manufacturing paradigm that integrates distributed resources to provide on-demand services. The high consumer demand from various locations, coupled with the customizability and complexity of manufacturing, complicates task scheduling. In this...

Purpose: This paper investigates a batch scheduling problem where pre-processing is required for parts before processing, considering time-changing effects from part deterioration and operator learning-forgetting. Design/methodology/approach: A mathematical model was developed with the decision...

Purpose: This paper aims at introducing the importance and the relevant concepts and tools for including gender dimension in teaching, with a special focus in the Operations Management knowledge field. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology is based on a literature review and on the...

Optimizing up- and downstream working capital interfaces (i.e., by shortening receivable terms, extending payable terms, or reducing inventories) has become increasingly important for companies of all sizes. For small companies, this is the case because they have no or merely limited access to...
