Academic discussion in the field of supply chain management is influenced by descriptive, case‐oriented and consultancy‐driven research outcomes. The debate is often limited to the search for valid definitions and models of observable facts. The present research makes an alternative effort....

Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) addresses a fundamental business problem: inter‐organizational processes rarely execute as scheduled, since they happen in an environment prone to failure and disturbance. SCEM attempts to identify, as early as possible, the resulting deviations between the...

The surface profiles resulting from a laser beam melt ablation process have been quantified on the basis of the multifractal formalism. The multifractal spectra for several parameters sets, obtained with the wavelet transform modulus maxima method, were found to change towards higher Hölder...

Logistic activity, in particular transportation, produces green house gases (GHG). For different purposes GHG need to be allocated to objects. This paper studies how to allocate the GHG volume of a transportation process (delivery tour) to the single shipments moved by the process. First, it...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand value creation of information technology (IT) in supply chain planning (SCP). The impact of different IT components in SCP remains unclear and requires some thorough research. In addition, an analysis of the optimization dimension provides...

Supply Chain Controlling ist ein noch junges, aber schnell wachsendes Themenfeld. Es gilt dabei, aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus der Controlling- und der Supply-Chain-Management-Diskussion zu verknüpfen. Renommierte und kompetente Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis stellen den aktuellen Stand der...

Das Management industrieller Versorgungsketten wird in Theorie und Praxis immer bedeutender. Die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit einzelner Unternehmen kann nur noch im Kontext der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Supply Chain gesehen werden, innerhalb derer sie agieren. Ein robustes und synthesefähiges Konzept...
