Management of Logistics Planning



Bjørnar Aas, Molde University College, The Norwegian School of Logistics,
Norway
Stein Wallace, Lancaster University, England



Logistics problems are gradually becoming more complex and a better
understanding of logistics management as a subject is a key to deal with the
new challenges. A core element of logistics management is logistics
planning, which substitutes for low customer service levels, high waste, and
the use of buffers and slacks in the execution of logistic activities.
Furthermore, the availability of information and problem-solving
capabilities are established as the core parts of logistics planning. Based
on this, in this paper, a conceptual model for the management of logistics
planning is proposed and discussed. In this regard, the model is built on
ideas from microeconomics.

Enterprise Applications for Supply Chain Management



Susan Sherer, Lehigh University, USA



Although many companies have implemented ERP systems to track and share
information among cross functional business processes, they often supplement
these with legacy, custom, or best of breed applications to support supply
chain execution and management. This article offers a framework for
understanding all types of enterprise applications that support the supply
chain. In this study, the author organizes these applications, define
acronyms, and describe the various types of systems that make up an
information infrastructure for supply chain management.

Design and Development of an e-Platform for Supporting Liquid Food Supply
Chain Monitoring and Traceability



Dimitris Folinas, Alexander Technological Institute of Thessaloniki, Greece
Ioannis Manikas, Business School University of Greenwich, UK



In this paper, the deliverables of a research project are presented, which
aims at the development of a webbased platform capable of supporting the
traceability of liquid products like milk, wine and olive oil. First, it
includes the design of a supply chain reference model and the identification
of the data required for the efficient operation of the traceability system.
The main elements of the proposed model defined in this paper are the
entities, stages, events, and processes. The reference model consists of
three distinct phases that represent stages of real-life supply chains. Each
of these phases is defined by certain interactions between the above basic
elements. Additionally, the proposed e-platform is based on the above
reference model aiming to follow and register the production and
distribution processes of the raw materials, semi-finals, and final products
that are used in the examined industry.

Supply Chain Dispute Resolution: A Delphi Study



Frank Wolf, Nova Southeastern University, USA
Lee Pickler, Baldwin Wallace College, USA



This paper examines how supply chain conflicts across domestic and
international jurisdictions arise and become resolved given that
conventional conflict resolution tribunals cannot effectively settle fast
enough to serve the needs of supply chain partners. Observations from the
field should guide practitioners, and in combination with information
technology, may lead to best practice rules in dispute resolution. For this
study, the Delphi Method was selected, in which a panel of 14 experts
participated in three rounds of successive surveys over a one-year period.
Survey data was collected by mail as well as via telephone conversations and
interviews, while under the Delphi method, the content of the second
questionnaire was derived from the responses of the first questionnaire. All
participants were supply chain experts in the United States from eight
different industrial sectors, and none of the participants interacted with
one another. End results show that supply chain’s relationships are very
private trade arrangements and that disputes arise, predictably, from common
performance criteria such as quality, timely delivery and payment issues.

A Composite Method to Compare Countries to Ascertain Supply Chain Success:
Case of USA and India



Mark Gershon, Temple University, USA
Jagadeesh Rajashekharaiah, SDM Institute for Management Development, India



Supply chains are assessed for the contribution they make in improving
business processes. Assessment also looks at the return on investment and
improves the overall functioning of the entire chain. However, supply chains
extend beyond geographical borders and span a wide variety of activities;
therefore, a systematic examination of factors required for success of
supply chains is essential. This paper proposes a composite method by which
supply chains could be assessed at multiple levels to enable a comprehensive
comparison. The objective is to first compare at a global level and then
narrow down to the firms’ level. Although over time a number of measures
have been developed to evaluate supply chain performance, this paper
provides a methodology involving well-known techniques to assess the supply
chain success based on objective considerations. Furthermore, the authors
demonstrate how global players can select the partnering countries to reap
maximum benefits. Finally, a comprehensive model is provided involving three
approaches that look at the issue of comparison from different perspectives
and are debated with respect to India and the United States.
