الوصف: To ensure environmentally sustainable logistics, organizations need to have anenvironmentally sustainable logistics performance management (ESLPM) process. In line withsupply chain management (SCM) literature, there is a desire towards integrating processes withsupply chain partners to increase performance. The purpose of this paper is to propose a frameworkfor ESLPM process integration and to illustrate this framework in practice between buyers andthird-party logistics (3PLs) providers. The method used is multiple case studies of three dyads of3PLs and buyers from the public and private sector. Data were collected through 10 semi-structuredinterviews. Our major result is a proposed framework with criteria for the degree of ESLPM processintegration between buyers and 3PLs. It includes six activities: Selecting environmentally sustainablelogistics performance (ESLP) variables, defining ESLP metrics, setting ESLP targets, measuring ESLPmetrics, ESLPM feedback, and analyzing ESLP outcomes and processes. It considers suggestedoperationalization of each activity and the corresponding degree of integration. The framework canprovide guidelines for practitioners in identifying current degree of process integration. It may alsosupport decisions regarding actions needed to advance to a higher degree. This framework is the first toaddress logistics performance management process integration including environmental sustainability

الوصف: The purpose of this study is to identify and structure challenges of measuring performance of the Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process. A multiple case study methodology was applied. Qualitative data was collected via 22 structured interviews with managers from six case companies in various industries. A process oriented framework was proposed by structuring the challenges based on two key areas of process performance (effectiveness and efficiency) and different maturity levels of the process. A major challenge for all the cases, regardless of their maturity level, relates to defining of cross-functional trade-offs measures. Another major challenge was alignment of measures with business strategy and reward system. Additional common challenges for the different maturity levels were also found. While confirming some challenges from previous research, this study also finds new challenges, especially for more mature levels. Examples are standardization to support unbiased decision making, but also customization of measures for various organizational levels, and visualization of findings from the measurement to facilitate analysis. However, future research must validate and extend the results in other industries. The results offer challenges from a process oriented view and can serve as insights for managers when designing and implementing the S&OP process measures, or advancing from one maturity level to another. This research enhances understanding of the challenges to measure the S&OP process performance and adds to the S&OP literature and performance measurement literature.

الوصف: PurposeIn fast moving consumer goods sector (FMCGs), manufacturers’ access to demand related data (e.g. point of sales data, lost sales, end-customer orders) is often limited making demand forecasting impossible. Instead, to enhance production planning, the manufacturers might base their DC supply forecasts on limited information including shipments from DC to wholesalers and retail stores. This is not optimal. To enhance the situation, the purpose is: (i) to propose a method of how manufacturers can use Machine Learning (ML) approach to improve supply forecasting to a DC if demand information is lacking, and (ii) to identify the demand information needed for demand forecasting supported by ML approach.Design/methodology/approachA single case study methodology of a manufacturer from FMCG sector, principle component analysis, and simple linear regression in R programming language is used. Also, linear regression using stochastic gradient descent optimization technique in Amazon ML is applied.Findings We propose a method of how FMCG manufacturers lacking demand data can utilize the ML approach to enhance supply forecasting, and identify needed demand related information to implement demand forecasting.Research limitations/implications (if applicable)The results are based on one case and need validation through more cases. Practical limitations/implications (if applicable)The results can be used by managers lacking demand related data to improve DC supply forecasting in FMCGs sector. Originality/valueThe results can contribute to the area of supply forecasting through ML.

الوصف: Purpose The purpose is to examine various aspects of integration in order to structure and define the concept of supply chain management integration. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on an extensive literature review in three steps and a series of interviews with leading SCM consulting firms. Findings We found limited empirical research discussing SCM integration beyond the dyadic level and there is a lack of empirical evidence supporting the claimed benefits of supply chain management integration, especially beyond the dyadic level. There is also a lack of detailed frameworks and concrete recommendations for how supply chains can become more integrated. In fact, there is significant confusion regarding the term SCM integration and thus we propose a definition of Supply Chain Management Integration. Research limitations/implications In terms of limitations, it is feasible that an extended literature review could have provided additional information. Similarly, additional interviews would have been preferable, yet given the level of expertise; and the access granted, we believe the current number of respondents is sufficient. Practical implications Our findings, and our effort to structure and define the term supply chain management integration, can facilitate organizational developments in this area. Originality/value Academic literature suggests that integration is a requirement for Supply Chain Management. However, integrated supply chain management is difficult to define and it seems hard to operationalize in practice. One could also argue that there has been a significant amount of hype regarding the potential as well as the results of SCM integration.
