This paper introduces the special issue on strategic choices for recyclable clothing implementation. Substantial private implementation is needed if company management objectives to increase the share of recyclable clothing and prevent dangerous clothing risk be achieved. The aim of this paper, and the entire special issue, is to draw scholarly attention to the processes underlying strategic choices for recyclable clothing implementation. An modular apparel safety architecture (MASA) framework for supply chain management was developed and implemented to provide guidelines for apparel designers and manufactures to solve safe and sustainable problems related to apparel production. The MASA framework was developed by integrating modular theory and product recyclable concept into existing apparel design and production. Children’s clothing design and production was used to implement the MASA framework as a proof concept. The MASA framework is the first apparel design and production model that emphasizes safety and recyclability in addition to functional, expressive, and aesthetic considerations. The originality of this work is its ability to combine social, technical, environmental and economic aspects using modular theory in order to provide a more holistic point of view on factors impacting recyclable clothing system through the design and development of recyclable management modules.

PurposeThis “thought paper” is written by the special issue editors as a part of the five papers accepted and published in response to the special issue call for papers on logistics and SCM in the context of relief for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in theJournal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the special issue on “refugee logistics” and analyse the nature and challenges of displacement from a displaced person’s perspective. The paper also argues for a more critical appreciation of the role and value that research in logistics, operations and supply chain management (LOSCM) can play in the delivery of services and care for refugees and IDPs from the perspective of preparedness and logistics planning of humanitarian organisations. The paper further outlines basic challenges to undertaking innovative, boundary pushing valuable and impactful research on “refugee logistics” given the difficult ideological, political and policy context in which “refugee logistics research” will be undertaken. The paper also advocates for more critical research in humanitarian logistics (HL), that explicitly acknowledges its ontological, epistemological and methodological limitations even when ethically sound. The paper concludes by suggesting a future research agenda for this new sub-field of humanitarian logistics research.Design/methodology/approachConceptual paper utilising viewpoints, literature reviews as well as original ideas and thoughts of the authors.FindingsThe new field of “refugee logistics research” is important. It has been neglected in humanitarian logistics research for too long. Hence, there needs to be more research in this sub-field of humanitarian logistics.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a “thought paper”. It is the basic conceptual ideas of the authors. While it is not based on empirical work or data collection, it is based on a comprehensive literature research and analysis.Social implicationsThis paper advocates for the universal human rights of IDPs and refugees and their dignity, and how LOSCM can contribute to upholding such dignity.Originality/valueIt contributes indirectly to logistics policy and refugee policy as well as logistics service quality and advocacy for human rights and human dignity.

The Relationship

The territorial approach is the basic approach to a region management. At the same time, the “territory” component is the basis of the logistics complex used in Supply Chain Management. In this regard, a need is to clarify and supplement the theory and methodology of the territorial approach to the management of both the region and the supply chains.The subject of this study is the relationship between the regional authorities and the focus enterprise of the supply chain regarding the development of the territories and resources of the region on a mutually beneficial basis.The research methods are methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as classification, and the tools are binary matrices that provide for the joint use of two classification attributes of the object under study and their dichotomies.The results of this study are the management principles by the competitiveness and sustainability of the management object; classifications of approaches to the management by the region and supply chains; of territories from the point of view of the focus enterprise of the supply chain and the region; the management decisions in the interaction of regions with the links of supply chains; the sequence of the formation of supply chains and the development of territories and resources of the region on the basis of the territorial approach and the relationship between them.The obtained results allow to reduce the costs and time for the development of territories and resources of the region by reducing the lost profits of the supply chain links due to their rational placement and increasing sustainability by achieving a synergistic effect both by the region and by the supply chains.

Simple Additive Weighting

Nowadays along with the rapid development of industrialization across the globe, the environmental and ecological impacts of products have become a serious issue. Taking into account purely the economic impacts of industrial decisions, and excluding their ecological impacts, make the human beings and animals more at risk to many threats such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, toxic environments, and natural resources depletion. To minimize the environmental effect, implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) is much more essential for industries in the environmental and social point of view. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze barriers to an implementation of green supply chain management in a stone crushing plant of Southern India by using modified simple additive weighting (SAW) to rank approaches. Further, this study will help the small-scale industries to understand the factors affecting implementation of GSCM in their organizations.

Organizational Activities

In today's business environment, in which organizations try to outpace their rivals, the power of management and organization come into prominence. Management, as an art and science, constitutes great importance in terms of creating sustainability in the organizations, and sustainability acts as an important agent for being successful in the competition. Especially supply chain management is evaluated to be among the most crucial organizational activities, which needs to be heavily focused on, in order to create customer satisfaction in the process of product and/or service delivery. Furthermore, as it is known, supply chain management is the key element of transportation and logistics. This chapter scrutinizes the importance of management and organization in transportation and logistics. With this purpose, a literature review presents the study both in a historical and contemporary point of view.
