The fundamental objective of the VRP is to determine the optimal route plan that minimizes the overall distance traveled. This study employs VRP to address the challenge of distributing fresh agricultural products within retail chains. It introduces an integrated bi-objective VRP model that concurrently optimizes resource allocation, order scheduling, and route planning. The proposed model incorporates two objective functions with the goals of minimizing total distribution costs and ensuring timely product deliveries to retail outlets. Real-world characteristics are integrated to enhance practical applicability. All solution algorithms and the developed VRP model undergo testing using data from one of Sri Lanka's largest retail chains. Numerical experiments showcase the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in solving real-world VRP problems. Moreover, the proposed VRP model achieves a 19% reduction in daily distribution costs, including a 24% saving in fuel costs. This not only provides financial benefits but also contributes to the reduction of the carbon footprint of retail chains. The model ensures on-time deliveries to 95% of retail outlets, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of fresh food. The findings of this study underscore the significant cost savings, enhanced sustainability, and improved quality associated with the efficient distribution of fresh agricultural products within retail chains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S277239092300046X/pdfft?md5=eeea0cc6bb759538453704005a670577&pid=1-s2.0-S277239092300046X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139395490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also discovered that in cleaning organisations, organsational performance has a favourable and significant relationship with customer satisfaction, as well as a positive correlation between employee, communication management, and customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, according to the results of a correlation analysis based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, the only factor limiting the implementation of Total Quality Management in Finnish cleaning organisations was resistance to change, as there were no preliminary signs of multicollinearity based on the two variables of the correlation coefficient criteria (r 0.70).

Our study addresses this gap by exploring significant predictors of end-of-life garment reuse by Australian consumers. Subsequently, this study extends the theory of planned behaviour (perceived behavioural control, attitude, and subjective norms) by general recycling behaviour, self-identity, quality consciousness, eco-literacy, and self-efficacy as predictors of reuse intention and behaviour. Structural equation modelling is conducted to analyse data from a sample of 428 questionnaire responses retrieved between 16 and 22 March 2022 from Australian consumers. Our findings support the notion that the fundamental predictors of the theory of planned behaviour, along with self-efficacy, and eco-literacy, are significant predictors in understanding sustainable behaviour such as reuse. However, no significant relationships were observed between self-identity, general recycling behaviour and quality consciousness. We made theoretical contributions to literature by addressing a gap in reuse, focusing on consumer behaviour and end-of-life garments. Extending on the theoretical implications, our study contends that engaging in reuse practices must be in collaboration with the entire supply chain. This study also provides a cultural context for reuse intention and behaviour amongst Australian consumers. In a broader context, the findings from this study could reduce the number of garments sent to landfills and promote the utilisation of garments beyond one lifecycle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772390923000471/pdfft?md5=5f407cc9503ef7ee94e5fa8694d4daee&pid=1-s2.0-S2772390923000471-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139111812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic literature review was conducted, with an initial sample of 353 papers, finally resulting in 62 papers after several exclusion steps. A descriptive analysis showed that the area is growing fast and that a vast majority of the papers applied mathematical methods with transport data. Further, five categories were deemed of interest in relation to logistics and electrification in the analysed literature: transport operation, charging, cost, actors, and sustainability. Each category is elaborated on and described in the paper. Additionally, the discussion includes several research gaps that the paper proposes need to be addressed to achieve viable electrified logistics systems and the gaps resulted in a research agenda with seven bullet points aiming to guide future research. The research agenda include, how planning of logistics systems is affected when charging is included; how logistics performance is affected when adopting electric trucks, and there is a need to include actors and their perspectives to a larger extent than what is done in the current literature. By highlighting what is missing in the literature, this paper strives to be an important addition to achieve viable electrified logistics systems, which can ultimately lead to a reduction of the freight sector’s negative climate impact.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772390923000434/pdfft?md5=4451d00161575d3a28b28b32e7e872b6&pid=1-s2.0-S2772390923000434-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138738663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive framework, rooted in literature on CLSCs, digital platforms, and logistics, guides the analysis. The findings reveal diverse sustainability potentials within these platforms, primarily driven by system design, scale, and actor engagement. The efficacy of the digital platform varies based on usage patterns, their geographical scope, logistic solutions, and providers. Crucially, environmental and social sustainability tradeoffs and benefits come to light, offering insights into their emergence based on system design.

The factors were identified by reflecting on the recent literature and internet resources coupled with in-depth brainstorming with experts in the field of Logistics Company including, practitioners, and employers. Two ranking methods namely TODIM (TOmada de Decisao Interativa Multicriterio in Portuguese “interactive and multicriteria decision making” in English) and ARAS (Additive Ratio ASsessment method) are used together to rank order the major risk hurdles and criteria. The results of this study present that lack of visibility (LV), low-efficiency levels (LEL), and unpredictable elements (UE) are ranked as the top three major risk hurdles whereas real-time information on a package’s location (LV1), putting a GPS tracking system to track last- mile journey (OT3) and users wants on time location of their package (LV2) are ranked as top three most significant criteria affecting the practices of modern last-mile logistics in e-commerce businesses. The findings can be used by logistics firms, organizations, and policymakers to better understand the issues and develop strategies to address them, making last-mile delivery a more efficient also better form of awareness for practitioners who are engaged in third-party logistics firms.
