These vulnerabilities, highlighted by recent global crises, underscore the urgent need for improved visibility and resilience of the supply chain. However, data-sharing limitations often hinder the achievement of comprehensive visibility between organisations or countries due to privacy, security, and regulatory concerns. Moreover, most existing research studies focused on individual firm- or product-level networks, overlooking the multifaceted interactions among diverse entities that characterise real-world supply chains, thus limiting a holistic understanding of supply chain dynamics. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach that integrates Federated Learning (FL) and Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNs) to enhance supply chain visibility through relationship prediction in supply chain knowledge graphs. FL enables collaborative model training across countries by facilitating information sharing without requiring raw data exchange, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations and maintaining data security. GCNs empower the framework to capture intricate relational patterns within knowledge graphs, enabling accurate link prediction to uncover hidden connections and provide comprehensive insights into supply chain networks. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, demonstrating its ability to accurately predict relationships within country-level supply chain knowledge graphs. This enhanced visibility supports actionable insights, facilitates proactive risk management, and contributes to the development of resilient and adaptive supply chain strategies, ensuring that supply chains are better equipped to navigate the complexities of the global economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144490153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study presents a simultaneous competition model for two supply chains and their internal entities, considering heterogeneous customers in price and time-sensitive classes. Each chain serves regular and special customers with varied delivery times and pricing. This research aims to investigate how competition among supply chains under various conditions impacts metrics like performance, market share and profits. These conditions include collaboration strategy (Centralized or Decentralized Structure) and production approach (Shared or Dedicated Capacity for specific customers). We employed scenario analysis with the Stackelberg Game framework to study strategic and policy choices' impact on supply chain conditions. We identified 10 distinct scenarios for analysis. Using the Stackelberg model, we iteratively solved the developed models until they reached equilibrium in price and delivery time. Our findings suggest that chains benefit more from a cooperative strategy with a Centralized Structure. Market behavior influences the chosen production approach, where adopting a dedicated capacity policy can lead to increased market share and profits if the market leader does so. Alternative strategies result in competitive stances and reduced returns for both chains.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144481418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These disruptions, from production to consumption, lead to shortages, increased waste, and heightened vulnerability among food-insecure populations. This study addresses the need for effective emergency strategies to ensure food continuity and equity during crises. A Markov Decision Process (MDP)-based model is proposed to enhance food supply chain resilience under disaster conditions. The model involves a two-stage decision-making process: Stage 1 focuses on strategic decisions for immediate response, such as facility reconstruction, and Stage 2 handles tactical decisions during relief efforts, such as transportation routes and product flow. The objective functions of our model include minimizing response time and costs and ensuring equity of food accessibility. A resilience assessment approach is proposed to evaluate the performance of Pareto solutions. The proposed method is applied to the Qatar beef supply chain during a flooding scenario, demonstrating practical effectiveness. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify critical thresholds for establishing alternative distribution centers, which helps to optimize responses based on facility capacity. This research improves disaster preparedness and response, ensuring that food supply chains can adapt and recover quickly while enhancing the equity of people’s access to food and nutrition. A case study on Qatar’s beef supply chain under flood conditions shows that the proposed method achieves up to 95 % reduction in response time cost, a 9 % improvement in system resilience, and maintains over 99.5 % food accessibility under severe disruption scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144296779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, integrating Industrial-IoT (IIoT) with Supply Chain Networks (SCN) is an equally significant security concern because of interconnected systems amplified exposure and complexity. This study proposes an original Intrusion Detection System (IDS) framework based on the Staked Ensemble Model appropriate for IIoT-Enabled SCMS. A stacked ensemble model-based IDS framework operates as a novel solution to protect IIoT-Enabled SCMS. A multilayered system unites Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) with Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) along with Deep Neural Networks (DNN) as a stacked ensemble design to enable decentralized and secure collaborative learning across the supply chain network and protect user data and maintain system stability as well as network reliability. On the other hand, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) are established techniques, and our contribution is in optimizing the application of those for IIoT traffic. We tackle the class imbalance in intrusion data with SMOTE to better detect rare attacks and to use PCA to reduce the high dimensions of feature space for less computational effort and more efficient pattern recognition. To meet the requirements of the IIoT use cases, these preprocessing techniques are effectively embedded in the framework. Moreover, the proposed modular IDS architecture, the curation and fine tuning of the various learners, and the approach to full validation are all novel. We rigorously evaluate the model under K-Fold Cross Validation using the IoT-23 dataset and prove superior detection performance when compared to state-of-the-art approaches. Specifically, this research contributes a scalable and efficient IDS for an IIoT scenarios such as real-world IIoT enabled SCMS, which improves security analytics and facilitates network defense in key operational functionalities such as low data rates, low computational resources availability and restricted communication over the year.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144254828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, the downstream retailers could hold inventory strategically as a bargaining chip to induce the upstream manufacturer to reduce future wholesale prices in the supply chain. Anticipating such strategic behavior of the retailer, the manufacturer responds by increasing the early period wholesale price, which might weaken the impact of the investment efforts due to a rising price. Our central research questions are: Under what conditions do the retailer and the manufacturer benefit from investment effort, and how does strategic inventory affect the efficiency of the supply chain? Therefore, we develop a two-period game-theoretic model and characterize the equilibrium decisions and profits for inventory holding and investment effort patterns. Results demonstrate that the retailer’s inventory holding decision can significantly reduce the impact of the manufacturer’s investment effort, and the manufacturer even receives lower profits compared to the scenario where strategic inventory is not withheld. The finding contrasts with the existing research, which suggests that the manufacturer always receives higher profit if the retailer holds inventory in a supply chain. Further, we investigate the incremental or detrimental effect of base demand on the second period. We find that the retailer’s strategic inventory can hurt both members of the supply chain even if there is a sizable increment in market size in the second period, and both members could be worse off.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144254827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Machine learning (ML) offers significant potential to improve the forecast performance and quality of delivery delay prediction. Although various prediction approaches have been proposed in research, a structured and comprehensive overview is lacking. This paper addresses this gap by conducting a systematic literature review on the direct prediction of delivery delays. The objective is to identify applied prediction approaches and data sources, assess their readiness for real-world implementation, and derive a research agenda. The findings reveal that current research often focuses on marginal optimization of prediction performance while lacking practical applicability. Furthermore, most studies emphasize classifying deliveries as on time or delayed, rather than predicting the actual delay magnitude. Regarding the data used for prediction, combining enterprise resource planning (ERP) data with data from logistics improves prediction performance. However, environmental and location data, which could be easily integrated into ERP-based ML models, are rarely considered. This indicates a misalignment in current research, emphasizing the need for models combining practical applicability with predictive accuracy. Further research is required to address these identified deficits. Therefore, the present paper proposes a research agenda, to prioritize the most important deficits. These include, among others the industrial application, optimal prediction timing and ideal data combinations to achieve high prediction accuracy. It also highlights the need for integrated decision support systems that provide prediction-based recommendations, enhancing the practical value of predictive models in supply chain management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101186,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Analytics","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144169020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, a multi-objective stochastic mathematical model is proposed to optimize cost, decrease unfulfilled demand, and reduce environmental effects. A numerical example inspired by the recent COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico is introduced, which focuses on the distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE), medical supplies, and test kits to hospitals, pharmacies, and other demand points. This approach couples the estimated demand from the system dynamics model and then optimizes the stochastic model. The results present optimal decisions for allocation, inventory, product flow, distribution, and waste management under different scenarios.

However, the role of digitalization in optimizing SCG collection has not yet been explored. This study addresses these gaps by developing and evaluating sustainable business models that integrate circular economy principles with Industry 4.0. A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model was formulated to optimize the location, allocation, and routing decisions for “circular coffee shops, ” which serve as local collection and preprocessing nodes. Using real data from 1000 coffee shops in Montreal, three case scenarios were analyzed to assess the impact of pre-drying technologies and smart logistics on cost reduction and environmental performance. The results show that, while smart bins and real-time data analytics improve network efficiency and sustainability, the strategic placement of pre-drying technologies significantly reduces transportation and processing costs. By introducing a novel framework that integrates digitalization and collaborative waste management, this study advances SCG valorization and minimizes waste-related environmental impact.
