An overlooked aspect in the literature is how operational concessions—such as extended trade credit terms and excess inventory holding—naturally emerge as a way for suppliers to balance power asymmetries in relationships with major customers. These concessions act as equilibrium outcomes that sustain partnerships but burden suppliers. Addressing this gap, we explore how ES commitments from major customers shift this equilibrium, reducing the need for suppliers to offer long trade credit and hold excess inventory, thereby improving efficiency through a shorter operating cycle. Our results show that suppliers working with ES-committed customers achieve shorter operating cycles, driven by reductions in both inventory days and receivable days. Additionally, suppliers leverage ES performance to signal credibility, reducing their reliance on long credit terms as assurance. During the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath, suppliers reciprocated the goodwill of ES-committed customers by offering longer credit terms, fostering resilience and mutual support within the supply chain during financial stress. These findings contribute to the literature on sustainable supply chain management by showing how ES commitments foster trust-based partnerships that enhance long-term supply chain resilience across both stable and crisis periods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"285 ","pages":"Article 109640"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, the study proposes a data-driven framework for the sustainable development of PV systems. First, topic modeling is employed to analyze existing PV research, identify mainstream topics, and outline the critical pathways for sustainable development. Second, focusing on a primary pathway, a two-stage decision-making model based on text mining is introduced to evaluate and optimize the target PV system. In the first stage, text mining is integrated with an adaptive multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm to generate Pareto solutions across three objectives: lifecycle cost, loss of power supply probability, and global warming potential of greenhouse gas emissions. In the second stage, stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis is applied to select the optimal Pareto solution. The framework is validated through its application to a real-world case involving PV carport configuration in Chengdu, China. This study not only establishes an objective and comprehensive research paradigm for analyzing PV system sustainability through text analysis but also provides decision-making references for researchers and industry practitioners to better understand the development logic and pathways for sustainable PV system configuration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"285 ","pages":"Article 109610"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143842916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical evidence suggests that the Compound Poisson Process provides a more accurate fit for the lumpy and intermittent demand of spare parts compared to the Poisson process, which is the approach often adopted in the literature. This paper follows a queueing network modeling approach to find the inventory performance measures in closed-form when the lead time at the central warehouse follows a general distribution.

We found that the orchestrator employed both upward and downward influencing mechanisms to guide the reconfiguration from shared governance to lead-organization governance mode through a three-phased process: (1) explicit manifestation of dissatisfaction with existing governance form, (2) emergence of new governance form, and (3) promoting and operationalizing the new governance form. We further found that the orchestrator's actions in reconfiguring governance form contributed to improved coordination outcomes, particularly in complex, multi-stakeholder project networks.

This often leads to a lack of comprehensive understanding of demand distribution and can result in suboptimal order decisions. To address this issue, we introduce a data-driven newsvendor framework that combines a novel cost-driven data correction procedure with distributionally robust optimization (CDDC-DRO). With cost minimization objectives, the proposed procedure integrates local censored demand data and external demand information to adaptively generate high-value improved censored datasets, while circumventing reliance on static correlations. Furthermore, we consider the granularities of external demand information and propose three DRO-based data correction strategies to effectively reduce demand censoring. Tests on both simulated and actual data indicate that the CDDC-DRO procedure adaptively corrects censored data based on demand characteristics and cost structures, thereby eliminating significant errors induced by demand censoring and improving the precision and robustness of order decisions. The correction degree of the improved censored datasets dynamically depends on cost structure. A high degree of data correction is employed under high critical ratios, whereas a minimal correction degree is applied under low critical ratios. In response to the significant negative impacts of demand censoring, SMEs prefer to implement the DRO-based data correction strategy with finer-grained external demand information. This strategy enhances correction capabilities while minimizing variations in decision accuracy. Even when finer-grained external demand information is unavailable, SMEs are able to make well-informed order decisions using the DRO-based data correction strategy with local censored demand data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"285 ","pages":"Article 109626"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, introducing live streaming does not necessarily enhance the profitability of a brand. Strategic success hinges on accurately assessing when to introduce live streaming and crafting a reasonable pricing strategy. In essence, the introduction of live streaming complicates consumers' purchase decisions and intensifies channel cannibalisation from three standpoints: consumers' perceived value for products, consumers' purchasing cost among channels, and pricing strategy of the live streaming channel. Considering these factors, we construct models without and with live streaming and examine two pricing strategies, i.e., low pricing in the live streaming channel (low pricing strategy), and unified pricing in the live streaming and online direct channels (unified pricing strategy), to analyse the strategic integration of live streaming for dual-channel brands, thereby facilitating channel management and pricing strategies. The findings reveal that (1) brands should avoid introducing live streaming when consumers' cost of purchasing through the offline channel is either excessively high or low, opting instead to introduce it when the offline purchasing cost is moderate. (2) If consumers' cost of purchasing through the live streaming channel is low, the brand should implement the low pricing strategy; otherwise, adopting the unified pricing strategy becomes more appropriate. (3) The live streaming channel price after its introduction is higher than the online direct channel price without the introduction of live streaming.

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), an innovative management concept, has emerged and is currently a popular topic within industries.

However, a methodology that calculates sustainability indicators for every supplier and ranks them in relation to how close they are to an adjustable ideal solution would be of interest. This paper introduces a novel MCDM approach which calculates performance ratings using the likelihoods approach, creates sustainability indicators using likelihood-based performances, and ranks the suppliers according to their distance to ideal sustainability by using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) information. Owing to a better handling of subjective imprecision and more precise priorities, this innovative interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy cumulative likelihood-based distance to ideal solution (IVIFCLDTIS) approach helps decisions become more realistic. A greater precision of priorities and a considerable decrease of pairwise comparison and computational complexity as compared to the earlier methods are achieved.
