In this way, the \"International Commercial Terms\" (Incoterms)® as rules for the involved parties to a contract of international sale of goods become strategic, not only to define the conditions of delivery of the goods but also to define the value of an export according to the point of delivery within the international physical distribution chain. This study presents a detailed example of the costs derived from an international sale and purchase process, considering different databases published on the Internet, and provides a technique to simulate the value of each Incoterm 2020 rule. The results indicate the estimated prices for an export case from Colombia to the United States for containerized cargo. It is concluded that this technique facilitates the planning of the international sale and purchase, allowing to know the export values for each Incoterm, besides presenting an innovative model adaptable for other goods.","PeriodicalId":36880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Logistica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41464770","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}

One of the keys is to manage and improve the product flow in the distribution network continuously. In this paper, Demand Driven Distribution Resource Planning (DDDRP) is a proposed model for product flow management in distribution networks. It allows to optimise the flow by managing customer demand fluctuations. A literature review about flow management policies is presented, and then a case study is provided to make a comparison of the DDDRP concept with conventional management methods such as Distribution Resource Planning (DRP). To achieve this comparison, a discrete event simulation (DES) is adopted to measure the effectiveness of each model regarding the demand fluctuations, using key performance indicators. The simulation gives empirical results and illustrates the interests and benefits of the DDDRP approach in terms of inventory costs and service levels. The originality of this document concerns the assessment of Demand-Driven Distribution as a new approach of management and opens up new opportunities for optimising inventory and product flow in distribution networks.","PeriodicalId":36880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Logistica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49255916","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}

Nervousness reduces the efficiency and negatively impact the overall SC performance. Nervousness greatly effect supply chain stability and resilience leading to an increase in costs and fluctuation of the relationships with suppliers as well as customers. This research explores the supply chain nervousness (SCN) in MENA region. An investigation of the existing literature and interviews with the experts used to identify factors related to nervousness in the SC. This study was prompted by a lack of research depth to identify and investigate the main causes, effects, and measures, of SCN. A survey is used to analyze and asses the SCN in the region. A comprehensive framework of SCN in MENA region is presented and analyzed. The results identify the major sources, causes, and impact of SCN, and then arrange causes based on their impact. Also, the relative criticality of nervousness factors was assessed using the Delphi based analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Furthermore it investigated the factors and response strategies to mitigate the nervousness sources. Finally, a list of measures is proposed to reduce the SCN and improve competitiveness, effectiveness, and responsiveness. Identification and assessment of nervousness factors enables professionals to take appropriate mitigation strategies, help companies decide plans to reduce nervousness in their SCs, and lead to better decisions on future resilient supply chains.","PeriodicalId":36880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Logistica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47167933","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}

The cost of 1 ton of freight under different tax scenarios is estimated in the paper: without tax 0, with fixed tax – 10% and with progressive tax from 0 to 75%. The greatest effect on reducing the vehicle's load capacity during urban deliveries showed a progressive tax. The developed regression model allows determining the cost of transportation of 1 ton of goods depending on the technological parameters of transport operations, the costs of the transport (logistics) operators to perform these operations, and local tax regulations for transport. The application of the model makes it possible to regulate the use of vehicles of a given capacity by the local administration. In contrast to the strict prohibition on the establishment of traffic signs, the use of a progressive tax by the local administration makes it possible to regulate traffic structure by economic methods. Exploring of influence local tax regulations on transportation will lead to the sustainability of the cities in order to provide GREEN technologies.","PeriodicalId":36880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Logistica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47298315","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}

The study relies on a systematic approach to systematise legislative, economic and social information and thus create an integral system of transport communication. The review of the legal regulation issues surrounding the transport system showed the following supply chain problems: weak policy coordination and a low level of digitalisation. These problems result in low-quality service and low transparency in legal matters. According to the results of this study, the integration of the world’s best practices into transport communications will improve economic efficiency. The scientific novelty of the study is a practical tool to improve transport system efficiency in the context of globalisation, considering the characteristics of the national economy.","PeriodicalId":36880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Logistica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49015086","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}

Female drivers (75%) were observed to stop at intersections more frequently than male drivers. In terms of vehicle type, drivers of buses stopped more frequently than drivers of small passenger cars, which are road car, other than a motorcycle, that is designed to transport passengers. Driver age and compliance to a stop sign were found to be directly proportional to each other, but as the number of passengers in the vehicle increased, the rate of non-compliance also increased. Compliance was highest among leading vehicles, followed by following vehicles, and lowest among single vehicles. A binary logistic model showed that age, vehicle occupancy, and arrival pattern significantly affected stopping the behaviour.
