Workforce planning in logistics is a major challenge due to increasing demands and a dynamic environment. The number of delivery positions is a key factor in determining staffing requirements. This is often predicted subjectively based on employee assessments. To improve decision making and...

This study investigates the mediating roles of technology usage, service quality, transportation time, and product condition in the relationship between cost and customer satisfaction in the online retail logistics sector. Data were collected from 316 online sellers in Thailand, and the PROCESS...

In spite of its strong increase and relevant position in the evolution of international maritime routes, the global livestock trade is still a poorly treated topic in the maritime business domain of research. Aiming to cover this gap, the authors are focused on revealing the livestock logistics...

Background: With urban logistics facing challenges such as high delivery volumes and driver shortages, autonomous driving emerges as a promising solution. However, the integration of autonomous vans and robots into existing fulfillment processes and platforms remains largely unexplored. Method:...

Background: Supply chain collaboration technologies (SCCTs) are digital tools designed to enhance communication, coordination, and integration among supply chain stakeholders. These tools are essential for enhancing transparency, efficiency, and traceability within complex supply chain networks,...

Background: Simulation of business processes allows decision-makers to explore the implications and trade-offs of alternative approaches, policies and configurations. Trust in the simulation as a stand-in proxy of the real system depends on the validation of the computer model as well as on that...

Background: Facility location is a key challenge in humanitarian logistics, particularly in disaster response, where rapid and efficient resource deployment is crucial. Temporary facilities offer a cost-effective solution due to their rapid deployment and flexibility in addressing increased...

Background: In today's business world, where competition lies between supply chains, customer expectations are changing dynamically. Effective order picking in warehouses has become a top concern given expectations for rapid delivery, a larger product range, and continuous support. Methods: In...

Background: Cargo theft represents a persistent challenge to last-mile logistics in the peripheral regions of São Paulo, Brazil, compromising transportation security and increasing operational costs. These high-crime areas disrupt supply chain stability and hinder e-commerce growth. Traditional...

Background: Indonesia is an archipelagic country with 17,508 islands spread over the Pacific and Indian Oceans, with thousands of inter-island routes requiring a large and engaged fleet. The vast expanse of the country also leads to challenges related to optimal fleet coverage, routing, and oil...

Background: The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events (EWEs) as a consequence of climate change pose critical challenges on the transport and logistics sector, hence requiring systematic evaluation and strategic adaptation. Methods: This study conducts a comprehensive...

Background: Agriculture plays a key role in Colombia's economy. However, the sector faces persistent logistics, infrastructure, and supply chain integration challenges that hinder its development. While background studies have primarily addressed socio-economic needs and strategies to overcome...

Background: Supply chains operate under the changing influences of multiple external and internal factors. Sustainable supply chain development requires an assessment of these factors, as well as drivers and barriers. Various sustainability assessment criteria, methods, and models based on the...

Background: Accurate, real-time data about response technologies, capabilities, and availabilities are key to effective emergency response logistics; this is particularly important in remote settings, such as in the Arctic, where limited infrastructure, logistics, and technologies occasion the...

Güterverkehr und Logistik sind in hohem Maße raumwirksam, werden aber dennoch in der Kommunal- und Regionalplanung nur unzureichend planerisch adressiert und nicht integriert behandelt. Planerische Strategien und Instrumente sind dazu jedoch durchaus vorhanden. Eine integrierte Verkehrs- und...

Logistic regression is widely used in complex data analysis. When predictors are at individual level and the response at aggregate level, logistic regression can be estimated using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method with the joint likelihood function formed by Poisson binomial...
