PurposeThis work aims to measure the performance of an electric motors supply chain (SC) by using the Triple E performance measurement model to assess three performance dimensions simultaneously: efficiency, efficacy and environmental impact.Design/methodology/approachThis research presents a real case of a Brazilian company as an example for applying the Triple E performance measurement model and the discrete-event simulation to assess the performance of an SC.FindingsPerformance measurements for the three dimensions were the following: (1) for efficiency, a high inventory cost in the SC, driven by the distribution center (DC) (49.7% total cost); an order cycle time operating with an average of 21.7 days and a logistic channel transport capacity of 88%; (2) for efficacy, a service level of 98% for all channels; (3) for environmental impact, the SC emits a total of 395,733 kg of CO2 annually, with the DC and the regional distribution center (RDC2) being the largest emitters.Originality/valueThis work allowed to measure the performance of an SC interface (manufacturing process, a DC and three regional distribution centers). It was possible to measure the inventory holding cost and out-of-stock inventory costs, order cycle time, SC service level, transport capacity utilization and CO2 emissions in the transportation process of each SC stage and the whole SC. This study can be used as a decision support guide for academics and practitioners to measure and improve the SC performance.

Distribution Center Location

The high transportation cost of the parts of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) has received a great deal of attention lately, and different approaches for solving the problem have been taken. In this paper, a bi-level programming model is developed to decompose the distribution center location problem for the parts of ELVs in order to obtain a trade-off between the location cost of the distribution center and the transportation cost. The upper level determines the sites of distribution centers and the lower level represents the delivery routes under any location pattern of candidate sites of distribution centers. The proposed model is illustrated by real data and the results demonstrate that it can be an effective method to determinate a distribution center for ELVs.

The paper proposes the use of the integrated logistic approach, application of the cross-functional logistic coordination and integration in managing processes of the distribution center that promotes both to minimization of expenses and enhancing the effective functioning of the distribution center in the supply chain. The SMED analysis of logistic processes and Value Stream Mapping make it possible to identify inefficient operations and to reduce the duration of a logistics cycle. The researches of processes conducted by the author with the use of the logistic tools allowed revealing the reserves and making recommendations on how to enhance the effectiveness of the regional distribution center.
