Within the research area of supply chain risk management, researchers use simulation models and algorithms to analyze disruption risks and their potential effects on the supply chain. Supply chain disruption risk models focus on ways to quantify and assess disruption risks, study interdependencies between them, and explore the dynamic behavior of risks as they propagate through the network. So far, no review has covered and evaluated quantitative decision models which focus on these specific network-related risk characteristics. This paper derives a definition for supply chain disruption risk models and analyzes existing approaches on the basis of requirements derived from the literature. Its aims are to structure existing approaches, reveal their shortcomings, and guide future research efforts to improve prospective models systematically. This analysis reveals potential improvements regarding the simultaneous integration of dynamic and interdependent aspects of disruption risks in the supply chain model as well as their propagation through the network. More process steps of a supply chain risk management framework should be supported and more mitigation strategies should be incorporated to expand the scope and usefulness of the models.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"3 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85130103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The company has several warehouses, and relocations of steel coils to different warehouses before they are dispatched are inevitable. These relocations are driven by a lack of capacity or the necessity of a relocation (e.g., if a coil is dispatched by ship on a specific day, the coil must be relocated to the designated warehouse). These relocations are performed by specific truck and trailer and are time-consuming and costly. In an effort to bring greater efficiency to this problem,we developed a fast matheuristic solution method that has a simple design and performs well. We apply our technique to a set of large real world data (with up to 87 days). To evaluate the performance for realistic relocations, we consider many different sizes of coils (considering 225 different coil types, varying in dimensions). Therefore, the complexity of the problem to solve is high and many decisions concerning the best relocations must be made. The results of the matheuristic approach show that it is possible to improve the current solution of the steel producing company by as much as 11% for larger test cases (considering a time frame of at least 30 days). In addition, we provide insights on the value of information (no information versus all information about the production and distribution). Our results show that more information leads to the better results (i.e., less relocations). But, also with no information on further production and distribution, we can improve the current real world solutions.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"25 1","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87315586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Themain source of this type of damage in transportation is vibration, influenced, among others factors, by road conditions, a factor that can be considered in the vehicle routing problem. To address this issue, we propose a multi-objective model that seeks to minimize the damaged products during transport and the distance traveled by vehicles. To evaluate the model, we examined 10 instances adapted from the literature for the vehicle routing with time windows. Small size instances were solved using an augmented -constraint method (AUGMECON) and for large size instances, we applied a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). The results allowed us to observe the relationship between the damaged products and the distance traveled and showed that the proposed solution approaches are capable of providing feasible routes considering trade-offs between these objectives. Hence, our model provides decision makers with a tool for an effective determination of vehicle routes that considers the damage that perishable food products may experience during transport.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"28 1","pages":"2"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88561685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study is to develop an approach that will clarify and describe ways in which shippers can measure load factor. Drawing on existing literature and understanding gained from empirical data the proposed approach uses the load factor model, which structures measurement of load factor overall and at several levels (packaging, shipping, vehicle, fleet) as the ratio of required to available capacity. Shipping level includes utilization of purchased capacity, which is of special interest to shippers. For applying the model in practice, calculation methods linked to availability of data are presented. Calculations of volumetric load factor from two cases illustrate the methods. This paper’s detailed descriptions of how shippers can measure load factor provide calculation structure as well as transparency. Measuring load factor is of interest to evaluate effciency, particularly since load factor is related to transport costs and environmental performance.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"21 1","pages":"3"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90443074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to achieve this, standards and guidelines covering three sustainability dimensions (economic, social, and environmental) were analyzed for the identification of sustainability performance indicators (SPIs). A content analysis approach was applied for the data collection and analysis. Twelve international standards and guidelines were identified and selected for the purpose of conducting an analysis to integrate the latest findings on SPIs in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). The findings of the content analysis revealed 232 original set of instances of sustainability-related information, of which 46% were related to the environmental dimension, 43% were related to the social dimension and 11% were related to the economic dimension of sustainability. In order to provide a better understanding and evaluation, each sustainability dimension was characterized using attribute categories. A descriptive evaluation of the academic literature, standards, and guidelines resulted in 18 attribute categories. Collected indicators were classified according to these attribute categories. In-depth analysis, restructuring, standardizing of attribute categories and indicators have led to 70 unique and coherent SPIs. Out of which 49% indicators were identified as environmental SPIs, 37% as social SPIs and 14% as economic SPIs. The results revealed a complete lack of agreement among the current standards on how to measure the sustainability-related performance of an organization and its SC.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"14 1","pages":"12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2017-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82139057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new test was introduced with the standard DIN EN 16203 to test the lateral dynamic safety of forklifts. The measurements involve high costs and effort to achieve reproducible results. Multibody simulations (MBS) are conducted to facilitate the design of safety systems and understand the safety limits of an industrial truck. An adequate tire model is an essential part of such simulation. A new approach to forklift tire modeling is presented in this paper. It involves measuring several common industrial tires on a drum tire testing apparatus and using them to parametrize the tire model. The SUPREM model (German: Superelastisches Reifenmodell) uses a mathematical modeling approach to describe lateral force and lateral tire deformation based on wheel load, slip angle, slip rate, and driving velocity. For this easy-touse model, 8 parameters are estimated from tire measurements for different tire types. Better tire approximation leads to more accurate multibody simulations and a deeper understanding of the dynamic behavior of forklifts. Better vehicle lateral stability can be achieved if the outcomes are considered in the design process of a forklift. With this model highly dynamic multibody forklift simulations according to DIN EN 16203 can be carried out.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"2013 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88127603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
