This involves meticulously structuring, developing, and efficiently managing the supply base to ensure alignment of suppliers with the manufacturing processes and business objectives, consequently generating value and enhancing market competitiveness. The processes of acquiring, assimilating, transforming, and exploiting pertinent supply chain knowledge are vital for continuously bridging the gap between the current knowledge and the complex requirements of supply management, consequently strengthening the purchasing department's supply management capabilities. Strategic purchasing orientation commits more strategic resources to the purchasing department, allowing manufacturers to access and assimilate a broader spectrum of knowledge within the supply network. Grounded in the knowledge‐based view, our research delves into the development process of supply management capabilities, examining the influence of strategic purchasing orientation and absorptive capacity. Through hierarchical regression analysis of data from 395 manufacturers, our findings reveal that a pronounced strategic purchasing orientation significantly enhances absorptive capacity, thereby facilitating the development of supply management capabilities. Additionally, our study identifies distinct mediating roles of potential and realized absorptive capacities in the relationship between strategic purchasing orientation and supply management capability. This research offers a novel perspective on the development of supply management capabilities, providing valuable insights for manufacturers to address the complexities of supply management by narrowing the knowledge gap. Key words: supply management capability; absorptive capacity; strategic purchasing orientation.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140740638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, container shipping companies (CSCs) play a vital role in the global cargo transportation market. Thus, measuring the efficiency of CSCs is a primary concern of managers and practitioners. When the COVID‐19 pandemic broke out, the industry was severely disrupted and presented with unprecedented challenges. For this reason, evaluating how CSCs performed and learning the practices they took to achieve successful business results during this period have become necessary. To serve that purpose, this article used a hybrid method that combined data envelopment analysis Malmquist index with window analysis to analyze the world's nine leading CSCs' performance over time and their efficiency relative to each other, using data collected within a 5‐year period from 2016 to 2020. Our findings revealed different characteristics and trends in efficiency among these CSCs in terms of technical efficiency change, technological change, and total productivity change. Then, managerial implications were discussed to understand the best practices of successful CSCs as well as the circumstances in which some of them underperformed during this time. In closing, the study summarized a fact‐based guideline CSCs could take as management reference should a similar crisis occur.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140755324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research established that 276,500 current truck drivers may be disqualified if they submitted to hair drug tests instead of federally accepted urinalysis. This research compares hair and urine drug test results provided by eight U.S. trucking companies who are members of the alliance for driver safety and security (i.e., the trucking alliance) with urine test results drawn from the federal drug and alcohol clearinghouse to determine the differences in hair versus urine positivity rates and drugs detected. Results indicate that hair testing has a 6.00% positivity rate, 4.01% higher than urine. If this difference were generalized to the drivers who submitted urine tests to the drug and alcohol clearinghouse, hair testing would have likely disqualified 57,337 additional drivers in 2020. Results further indicate urine testing is better able to detect marijuana while hair testing is superior in detecting cocaine and opioids. This implies federal agencies should consider allowing hair test results to be submitted to the drug and alcohol clearinghouse to support a more drug‐free driver workforce.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140773010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we analyze 45 peer‐reviewed studies examining logistical challenges in the logging industry via a systematic literature review to identify existing cumulative knowledge. Then, we conduct 11 qualitative semistructured interviews with logging business owners/managers to understand better complex and interdependent logistics issues that negatively impact productivity and profitability in the upstream timber supply chain. Performing a comparative analysis of the systematic literature review results and interview findings, we propose a general conceptual framework that classifies 25 logistical challenges in three main areas. They are (1) supply chain issues, (2) company‐, and (3) industry‐specific issues. Finally, using an abductive reasoning approach, we generalize our findings by linking our conceptual framework to resource dependence theory, transaction cost economics theory, and carrier selection literature to develop propositions to guide future quantitative research efforts.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140384744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the fastest‐growing product categories is that of large and oversized items, often referred to as “big and bulky” items. This trend is particularly pronounced in the United States, with the online appliance and furniture markets experiencing substantial growth. Significant growth is also observed in the last‐mile delivery services sector for these large items. This presents a plethora of opportunities for industry stakeholders. Capitalizing on these opportunities and achieving service differentiation requires significant strategic investments in specialized equipment and capabilities by retailers and logistics service providers. These capabilities differ significantly from those typically required to deliver standard consumer products. This shift in operational context requires a deep understanding of customer preferences regarding big and bulky item delivery services. In this study, we determine customer preferences for big and bulky item delivery service features and quantify the effect of customer psychographic traits on those preferences. We accomplish this by conducting a choice‐based conjoint experiment. Our findings indicate significant effects that bear both research and managerial implications.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140382212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study mainly utilizes detailed individual‐level data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey‐California Add‐on (2017 NHTS‐CA). We first classify households into three groups such as (1) households with only ICEVs, (2) households with only EVs, and (3) households with both ICEVs and EVs. We then employ ordinary least square regression models to analyze the determinants of household VMT across three groups. Second, we focus on households with both ICEVs and EVs to look at the substitute patterns between ICEVs and EVs. We employ a fractional logit model to analyze the factors affecting the share of EVs' VMT in total household VMT. Key findings are as follows. First, households with only EVs tend to have lower household VMT than others. Second, available charging stations near residential locations lead to longer households VMT in households with only EVs. Third, employment density has different effects on household VMT by groups. For instance, high employment density leads to shorter household VMT in households with only ICEVs and with both ICEVs and EVs. On the other hand, high employment density reveals a statistically positive effect on household VMT in households with only EVs. Lastly, in households with both ICEVs and EVs, the share of EVs' VMT is likely to increase in total household VMT if EVs are used more for work trips and shopping/family errands.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140382717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, the list of the remaining top 25 schools continues to change and includes more international (i.e., non‐U.S.) schools. Additionally, the barriers to entry to become a strong supply chain research school are lower than in the past, while author concentration analyses confirm that the supply chain scholarly field has become more dispersed. Combined, the results support not only highly productive authors and schools with recognition and resource requests but also aspiring authors and schools with their research paths and benchmarking. We voice concerns, however, about both the supply of new supply chain scholars and the decreasing authorship of industry practitioners that had been a staple of our applied field.

Supply side obsolescence occurs when suppliers end production of components and has been defined as “the loss or impending loss of original manufacturers of items or suppliers of items or raw materials.” Supply side obsolescence may radically increase costs to an organization, including high inventory holding costs, paying high prices for components on the gray market, and lost sales or lost market share due to an inability to complete products. This research utilized a grounded theory approach and discovered: (1) the risks of supply side obsolescence, (2) the impacts of supply side obsolescence on focal firms, and (3) how leading firms utilize obsolescence procurement teams to combat this potentially disastrous problem. Of specific interest to managers, obsolescence procurement teams are identified as formal teams that focus on dealing with obsolescence proactively and work to prevent the negative effects of supply side obsolescence. Finally, the study provides propositions to guide future research and concludes with suggestions for managers regarding mitigating supply side obsolescence, which will only become more urgent as the rate of technological change continues to increase.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140244860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
