Abstract

Supply chain management is the active management of supply chain activities to maximize customer value and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage for a longer time. The supply chain firms put an extra effort to develop and run in the most effective & efficient ways possible. There are issues of concern that need attention, like huge losses in perishables (food) because of infrastructural deficiencies. The demand for food remains highly unfulfilled in most of the country and outside in spite of high production of food. This is because of highly ineffective, inadequate and very weak supply chains for food that require temperature controlled conditions to retain quality and safety of food and curb the decay process. An effective food retail supply chain thus becomes vital (Bourkakis and Weightman, 2004).Supply chains for perishable and time-sensitive products, pose specific and unique challenges. The temperature controlled supply chains or cold chains are a significant proportion of the retail food market which is still in the nascent stage.
易腐货物供应链管理与战略实施
供应链管理是对供应链活动的主动管理,以实现客户价值最大化,实现更长期的可持续竞争优势。供应链公司付出了额外的努力,以最有效的方式发展和运行。有一些值得关注的问题需要引起注意,比如由于基础设施不足而造成的易腐食品的巨大损失。尽管粮食产量很高,但该国大部分地区和国外对粮食的需求仍未得到满足。这是因为食品供应链非常低效、不充分和非常薄弱,需要温度控制条件来保持食品的质量和安全,并遏制腐烂过程。因此,有效的食品零售供应链变得至关重要(Bourkakis和Weightman, 2004)。易腐和时间敏感产品的供应链构成了具体而独特的挑战。温控供应链或冷链是零售食品市场的重要组成部分,目前仍处于起步阶段。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
