This chapter will deal with varied areas and their interactions with the distribution system and the marketing channels of the company. The first area discussed is the evaluation of the channel members. This is important as proper evaluation of the performances and other characteristics of the channel members is connected with their motivation as well as the overall performance of the company itself. The distribution system or the marketing channels of service-oriented companies are also discussed as the economy, especially of developed countries, are fast moving towards the service sector. In the service sector the basic principles remain the same – however, there are some major differences with the marketing channels of products. The distribution channels are so complex for large organizations that a very robust information system has to be in place in order to maintain the operations of the system and also to have proper control and evaluations of the channel members. The backbone of the distribution systems of large organizations are the logistics and the supply chain management of the company. Proper utilization of the tools and techniques of modern logistics and supply chain management is a prerequisite for efficient and effective functioning of the entire distribution system. Again, in this open world, companies are increasingly looking at the entire world as their prospective customers, and hence, a proper understanding of international channel management is necessary for all companies.

Distribution Logistics

In today’s highly competitive and demanding environment, the pressure on both public and private organizations is to achieve a better way to deliver values to end customers. There has been a growing recognition that the two goals, cost reduction and customer service are achieved through Logistics and Supply Chain Management (SCM). Transportation of goods continues an important part of in-bound as well as outbound logistics of Supply Chain Management (SCM). Efficient distribution of goods and services is of great importance in today’s competitive market, because transportation constitutes a considerable portion of the purchase price of most products or services. Vehicle routing is considered as an important resource in a distribution logistics management system. Effective plan and control of vehicle operation can significantly reduce the cost of physical distribution system. To overcome the challenges of changing environment, the scheme of vehicle control of a physical distribution system should be dynamic. Thus India has become the top milk producing country in the world. This study addresses the vehicle routing aspect of distribution logistics in Sangam dairy supply chain of Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh. The problem is viewed as Vehicle Routing Problem with Backhauls (VRPB) and a mathematical model is developed with the consideration of various practical constraints. Moreover, a decision support system is developed for dynamic VRPB, which would help the manager in making operational and tactical decisions.

Service Oriented

Service-oriented computing is becoming increasingly popular. It allows designing flexible and adaptable software systems that can be easily adopted on demand by software customers. Those benefits are from primary importance in the context of supply chain management; that is why this paper proposes to apply ProDAOSS, a process for developing adaptable and open service systems to an industrial case study in outbound logistics. ProDAOSS is conceived as a plug-in for I-Tropos - a broader development methodology - so that it covers the whole software development life cycle. At analysis level, flexible business processes are generically modelled with different complementary views. First of all, an aggregate services view of the whole applicative package is offered; then services are split using an agent ontology - through the i* framework - to represent it as an organization of agents. A dynamic view completes the documentation by offering the service realization paths. At design stage, the service center architecture proposes a reference architectural pattern for services realization in an adaptable and open manner. The paper finally presents the implemented platform for a particular service – manage transport – so that the reader can realize how the developments have been achieved.

Fisheries have an important role in the economic and security aspects of the border region. Fishing in Natuna is carried out by local fishermen using small vessels with simple fishing gear. The distribution system with ships was hampered due to the Natuna sea area factors and the limited number and frequency. The research aimed to find out the supply chain management of fish in the Natuna Island border area to meet local, regional and export needs. The research used a qualitative approach and snowball information. The result showed that market formation was based on the type and quality of fish caught. Production of local fishermen was sold to the Natuna market, regional markets (Pontianak and Tanjung Pinang), and export market to Singapore, Mainland China, Hongkong, and Malaysia. Type of fish with premium quality (grouper, red snapper) was exported and sold to restaurants, with oligopolistic market characteristics. The premium quality fish market share was controlled by a large trader (Tauke) who has links to islands far Natuna (Pulau Laut, Pulau Tiga, Midai and Serasan). Non-premium quality fish marketing was carried out by fishing boat owners or collectors for local consumption and regional markets.

The Impact

Although the development of supply chain management trends has been the subject of substantial research, little attention has been devoted to examining the impact of the emerging supply chain management (SCM) trends on the spatial organization of the supply and distribution system. Specifically, the literature lacks an integrated methodological framework for examining the impact of emerging SCM trends on decision making relative to the spatial organization of logistical networks. This analysis has three purposes—( a) develop a conceptual framework for analyzing how decisions are made on the spatial organization of logistical networks, ( b) test the proposed framework via case studies, and ( c) develop a preliminary set of guidelines on the essential elements in making strategic logistical network design decisions. An interesting finding in implementing the proposed methodological framework, which was further supported by the limited empirical research, is that decision-making requirements vary substantially among the industrial and service sectors. This variance reflects differences in objectives and the extent of integration and collaboration of business entities along the respective supply chains.

Peran UMKM baik di negara maju terlebih di negara berkembang seperti Indonesai khususnya Sumatera Utara dalam pembangunan ekonomi (dukungan terhadap pendapatan nasional dan pertumbuhan ekonomi) dan sosial (penyerapan tenaga dan perbaikan daya beli masyarakat) cukup tinggi. Walaupun tingkat pertumbuhan dan kontribusi relatif cukup tinggi, kemunculan era ekonomi digital diperkirakan akan mengancam keberlanjutan kemopok usaha ini dalam waktu yang dekat. Untuk mengatasi ancaman tersebut, penguatan UMKM melalui pengembangan dalam sistem manajemen rantai pasok merupakan suatu kebijakan yang perlu dilakukan. Langkah awal untuk memasuki sistem jaringan jaringan manajemen rantai pasok ialah pembentukan kemitraan pola buyer-supplier yang saling mengokohkan. Untuk menciptakan UMKM berada dalam kemitraan pola buyersupplier yang solid, ada 8 komponen yang harus dilakukan yaitu joint planning, joint operation control, communication and information sharing, trust, commitment, contract style, scope dan joint investment. Untuk ke delapan komponen tersebut dilakukan secara baik, UMKM Sumatera Utara masih terkendala dengan kemiskinan structural sumberdaya termasuk sumberdaya manusia. Kemiskinan sumberdaya struktural ini akan dapat di atasi melalui pembentukan lembaga khusus semi pemerintah yang berperan sebagai motivator dalam pembentukan entrepreneurial leader pada UMKM.   The role of MSMEs in both developed countries, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, especially North Sumatra in economic development (support for national income and economic growth) and social (energy absorption and improvement of people's purchasing power) is quite high. Although the growth and contribution rates are relatively high, the emergence of the digital economy era is expected to threaten the sustainability of this business partnership in the near future. To overcome this threat, strengthening MSMEs through development in supply chain management systems is a policy that needs to be done. The initial step to enter the supply chain management network is to establish a mutually reinforcing buyer-supplier pattern of partnership. To create MSMEs in a solid buyer-supplier partnership pattern, there are 8 components that must be done, namely joint planning, joint operation control, communication and information sharing, trust, commitment, contract style, scope and joint investment. For the eight components are done well, North Sumatra MSMEs are still constrained by structural poverty of resources including human resources. The poverty of these structural resources will be overcome through the formation of semigovernment special institutions that act as motivators in the formation of entrepreneurial leaders at MSMEs.

Chain Management

With the aim of delivering goods and services to customers, optimal delivery channel selection is a significant part of supply chain management. Several heuristics have been developed to solve the variants of distribution center allocation and vehicle routing problems. In reality, small-scale suppliers cannot afford research and development departments to optimize their distribution networks. In this context, this research work develops a model for an online to offline (O2O) supply chain management network of a small-scale household electric components manufacturer for delivering goods to its distribution centers and retailers. Retailers are acquired by the company through investment in the O2O channel of e-commerce. Electric power transmission and distribution is considered as representative of the product distribution network. A model is developed using a combination of the supply chain management technique and power transmission terminologies. The constrained linear programming model is solved through the linear programming tool of the LINGO optimization software and the global optimum results for the proposed quantity allocation problem are achieved. A numerical experiment is provided to illustrate the practical applicability of the model and the optimal results are analyzed for model robustness.
