Packaging Logistics

This paper presents the interest of implementing the “Sustainable Packaging Logistics” approach in order to improve efficiency and sustainability throughout the supply chain, thanks to the development of a study based on “Benchmarking” technique. After summarizing the main conceptual aspects of “Sustainable Packaging Logistics”, the paper focuses on the analysis of a sample of 17 references of liquid detergent, adopting the methodology of multi-case study. The results of the study show an average level of unoccupied volume of 12.5% in the comparison between the liquid and the plastic bottle capacity. This unoccupied rate even reaches the 50.8% if it compares the liquid volume and the theoretical prism that fits the bottle. On the other hand, the results also show differences in the pallet efficiency up to 377 liters per pallet and 3,248 liters per truck. These results imply that there are different logistic and sustainable effects depending on the packaging solution; that means new opportunities for competitiveness improvement.

Current supply chain methods are having difficulties in resolving problems arising from the lack of trust in supply chains. The root reason lies in two challenges brought to the traditional mechanism: self-interests of supply chain members and information asymmetry in production processes. Blockchain is a promising technology to address these problems. The key objective of this paper is to present qualitative analysis for blockchain in supply chain as the decision-making framework to implement this new technology. The analysis method used Val IT business case framework, validated by the expert judgements. The further study needs to be elaborated by either the existing organization that use blockchain or assessment by the organization that will use blockchain to improve their supply chain management.

Purpose This paper aims to review the healthcare supply chain (HSC) literature along various areas and to find out the gap in it. Design/methodology/approach In total, 143 research papers were reviewed during 1996-2017. A critical review was carried out in various dimensions such as research methodologies/data collection method (empirical, case study and literature review) and inquiry mode of research methodology (qualitative, quantitative and mixed), country-specific, targeted area, research aim and year of publication. Findings Supply chain (SC) operations, performance measurement, inventory management, lean and agile operation, and use of information technology were well studied and analyzed, however, employee and customer training, tracking and visibility of medicines, cold chain management, human resource practices, risk management and waste management are felt to be important areas but not much attention were made in this direction. Research limitations/implications Mainly drug and vaccine SC were considered in current study of HSC while SC along healthcare equipment and machine, hospitality and drug manufacturing related papers were excluded in this study. Practical implications This literature review has recognized and analyzed various issues relevant to HSC and shows the direction for future research to develop an efficient and effective HSC. Originality/value The insight of various aspects of HSC was explored in general for better and deeper understanding of it for designing of an efficient and competent HSC. The outcomes of the study may form a basis to decide direction of future research.
