Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to empirically assess the impacts of logistics learning capability on logistics service capability and organizational performance in the context of international distribution center operators (IDCOs) in Taiwan. Design/methodology/approach – Data for this study were collected by questionnaire survey. A two-steps structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was performed in this study to test the research hypotheses. The first step is performing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the validity of the measurement model. The second step proceeds to estimate the structural model between latent variables. Findings – A five-dimension scale including open-mindedness (O), commitment to learning (C), system perspective (E), partner learning (A), and shared vision (N) was proposed in this study and was supported by CFA analysis to measure IDCOs’ logistics learning capability in this study. Results of SEM indicated that logistics learning capability is positively related to logistics service capability, whereas logistics service capability is also positively related to organizational performance. Although logistics learning capability has no direct relationship to organizational performance, we found it indirectly affects organizational performance via logistics service capability. Research limitations/implications – This study primarily focusses on the effect of logistics learning on organizational performance. Future research could incorporate environmental uncertainty as a moderator to assess its impact on the relationship between logistics learning capability and organizational performance. Practical implications – IDCOs can enhance customer service and financial performance by developing logistics learning capability and specifically focussing efforts on supply chain partner learning. Originality/value – This study presents the first to examine the effects of logistics learning capability on logistics service capability and organizational performance in the context of IDCOs. Particularly, this study proposes a five-dimension logistics learning capability scale from a supply chain perspective.

This paper presents a methodology for the strategic planning of product replenishment in stores of a supermarket network. The purpose of such strategic planning is to reduce stockouts levels and prevent overstocking, in addition to enhancing logistics service to customers. A quantitative method for predicting time series, Radial Basis Function Neural Networks, is used. After that, we applied the new methodology composed by quantitative methods, based on literature and by qualitative methods, based on the company’s staff day-to-day practices. The association of these qualitative and quantitative methods, very simple and efficient, is the main contribution of this paper. The results were highly satisfactory, reducing the Distribution Center (DC) to store stockouts levels from 12% to 0.7% on average in the hypermarkets, and from 15% to 1.7% in the supermarkets. It is worth emphasizing that the methodology proposed here can be applied to any company facing this challenging forecasting problem.
