In recent years, green logistics has received increasing interest due to the rise in greenhouse gases emission from transport operations. It is a promising approach to managing supply chain decisions to reduce environmental damages. Many models have been developed in the literature to study the...

Background: Beef, because of its high protein content, occupies a privileged place in household consumption in Cameroon. However, the quality of the meat available on the market and the prices charged are far from satisfactory for consumers. There is therefore clearly a problem of physical and...

Additive manufacturing (AM), or nonstandard 3D printing, disseminates in more and more production processes. This changes not only the production processes, e.g. subtractive production technologies are replaced, but will in all likelihood impact the configuration of supply networks. Due to a...

The present paper delivers a robust and systematic literature review (SLR) on supply chain risk management (SCRM) with the purpose to a) review and analyse the literature concerning definitions and research methodologies applied, to b) develop a classificatory framework which clusters existing...

Reports show that it is necessary to control greenhouse gas emissions from the supply chain perspective. Numerous authors have already started quantifying the impacts of emission trading on supply chain performance in terms of cost and emissions. However, rare effort is made to conceptualize...

Additive manufacturing (AM), or popular scientific 3D printing, disseminates in more and more production processes. This changes not only production processes themselves, e.g. by replacing subtractive production technologies, but AM will in all likelihood also impact the configuration of supply...

Automotive companies have successfully adopted mass customization. However, this production method has complicated the sales process as the customer has to go through a lot of steps to specify the product. Thus, it is important that the sales process is modified to make the producer–buyer...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to design a concept of the data supply chain of a smart construction factory by analyzing the information flow and Building Information Modeling (BIM) object data that are available through innovative identification technologies and communication systems....

Purpose: In order to keep up with the automation Smart Factories will bring into the market, procurement logistics has to be redesigned to ensure self-organizing production. The purpose of this paper is to examine the future changes of the procurement processes as well as the further role of...

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of the asymmetric allocation of power on the digitalisation strategy in port logistics. To reach this pur-pose this paper combines the term of asymmetric power to the concept of bargaining power, supply chain leadership theory,...
