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.

Industry Needs

The automotive industry’s supply chain has been extensively researched but has tended to focus on the component production sections of the chain. Indeed, the automotive industry needs a structured model that encompasses the entire fragmented, uncertain and complicated industry. For this reason, the SCOR® model was chosen in this study because it contains well-defined and standardized processes and metrics for performance measurement and comparative analysis of the entire supply chain and not only internal processes. In this context, the objective of this paper is to concretize the application of the SCOR® model in an automotive company by following the steps and guidelines described by the supply chain council that designed this model. Then, several contributions and benefits of the application of this model in the automotive sector will be raised based on this case study and especially on the interviews conducted with the various practitioners and specialists in the supply chain. On the other hand, a list of limitations and difficulties encountered during and after the implementation of this standard will also be collected. Although this study is primarily oriented towards a university audience, it can also be interesting and useful for practitioners, who will be able to gain an understanding of the purpose of the existing research and to have access to a real-life example of the application of this model in the automotive sector.

Nowadays, the effectiveness of the enterprise depends on all departments of enterprises, including logistics. One of the strategic areas of logistics, although often overlooked, is the turnover of returnable packaging. Turnover of packages is an additional process in the enterprise that creates additional costs. With the optimal management of this process throughout the entire supply chain, enterprises can minimize the costs associated with it. This study presents the process of managing returnable packaging. The aim of the work is to identify and analyze the possibility of using returnable packaging in the process of preparing shipment and transport of finished products in the automotive industry. The article uses a case study of one of the companies operating in the automotive industry - Volkswagen Motor Polska sp. z o.o. The article presents three possible solutions for the transport of engines manufactured by the described company. One of the solutions is currently used by enterprises. The other two are a proposal to apply. When analyzing the costs of these solutions, the best one was presented, the costs of which will be the most profitable in the long run.

External Transformation

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the aspects of internal and external transformation that take place in each company along the supply chain when a “sustainable packaging logistics” approach is implemented. Before this can be achieved, it is necessary to identify and characterise the principal cornerstones and stages associated with this implementation. Design/methodology/approach – In the paper the combination of “case study” and “action research” techniques have been chosen. It has been analysed the implementation of “sustainable packaging logistics” in the supply chain of Mercadona (one of the largest retailers in Spain), paying special attention to the implementation and evolution in one of its main food suppliers. Findings – To adopt a “Sustainable Packaging Logistics” approach allows for a proactive integration of the efficiency and sustainability in supply chains. The proposal to implement “sustainable packaging logistics”, based on four cornerstones and three stages of evolution is particularly significant, while contributing to improved competitiveness. This implementation constitutes an evolutionary process which is conditioned by how each area, department or company along the supply chain interpret and assess different packaging features over time. Research limitations/implications – The model is based on a single supply chain analysis. Originality/value – This paper may be of interest both for researchers and professionals, because the model can aid companies in improving their global vision of product and packaging design in order to jointly increase sustainability and efficiency in the supply chain.

Customer Demands

Participating in the automotive industry brings new responsibilities for suppliers who, in order to meet customer demands, must strive towards improving business processes, while at the same time reducing costs. These demands can disrupt the operations of companies that do not have a system for controlling logistics costs. On the other hand, customer demands can be the cause of other types of disruptions in companies that have such a system in place, stemming from an excessive focus on cost reduction. To tackle this problem, a survey was conducted on a sample of 30 Slovenian companies that operate as suppliers in the automotive industry. Its objective was to determine how different customer demands along the supply chain can affect the business processes of suppliers and the level of logistics costs. The survey revealed that companies that use a system for controlling logistics costs experience fewer disruptions in their business processes in their efforts to satisfy customer demands. These companies also display a higher level of integration of business processes and use a different approach when dealing with the various participants of the supply chain. The survey also sets clear participation guidelines for suppliers in the supply chain of the automotive industry and points out how companies can benefit from using a system for controlling logistics costs in other ways, aside from the cost controlling aspect.

This aims to review and analyze the Jordanian experiment in the developmental regional planning field within the decentralized managerial methods, which is considered one of the primary basic provisions for applying and success of this kind of planning. The study shoed that Jordan has passed important steps in the way for implanting the decentralized administration, but these steps are still not enough to established the effective and active regional planning. The study reveled that there are many problems facing the decentralized regional planning in Jordan, despite of the clear goals that this planning is trying to achieve. These problems have resulted from the existing relationship between the decentralized administration process’ dimensions from one side, and between its levels which ranged from weak to medium decentralization from the other side, In spite of the official trends aiming at applying more of the decentralized administrative policies, still high portion of these procedures are theoretical, did not yet find a way to reality. Because any progress or success at the level of applying the decentralized administrative policies doubtless means greater effectiveness and influence on the development regional planning in life of the residents in the kingdom’s different regions. So, it is important to go a head in applying more steps and decentralized administrative procedures, gradually and continuously to guarantee the control over any negative effects that might result from Appling this kind of systems.   © 2018 JASET, International Scholars and Researchers Association

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.
