Looking for an approach to ethics through logistics.

In this work, through a logistic model, several aspects of organizations are related, such as ethics, Safety & Security and innovation. To do this, the Ethical Legal Consultant of the Logistic Model Based on Positions will be used. Given the close relationship that logistics has with almost all aspects of the organization, the objective of this work arises: Generate some guidelines to improve the ethical aspects of an organization, following guidelines offered by the Legal Ethical Consultant of the Logistics Model Based on Positions. To achieve this objective, the Integrated-Adaptable Methodology for the development of Decision Support System will be followed, which, it has been demonstrated, adapts to this type of research.

With the unprecedented growth of international trade, a growing number of multinational firms have coped with logistical challenges of shipping products to and from unfamiliar territories in many countries. These logistical challenges include the cross-border transportation of products originated from inland port to another inland port isolated from major waterways. In particular, the lack of access to major waterways would not only constrain the intermodal transportation option, but also make door-to-door, containerized delivery services nearly impossible. Such a limited option would eventually lead to increased transportation costs and transit time, and thereby offset low-cost global sourcing advantages. To aid multinational firms in addressing the problem of determining the optimal supply chain link between inland origin and destinations ports, this article proposes a shortest-path model based decision support system. The usefulness of the proposed model-based decision support system was validated by its application to a real problem encountered by a multinational firm that would like to strengthen its foothold in the Chinese market.

AbstractIn this paper the design and implementation of a decision support system for diabetes care is examined from an ethical perspective. It is noted that the system creates potential for enhancing the realization of the principle of autonomy through improved information to patients and participation by patients. However, there is also potential for using the system in a way that is contrary to good health care. It may provide patients with information they are unable to interpret and handle, and it may be used by healthcare authorities for controlling their personnel in ways contrary to good quality working conditions. In order for a decision support system to function as a well-integrated element in ethically based health care, different ethical aspects have to be taken into account during the design of the system. The ethical aspects also constitute one perspective of a systematic re-evaluation and re-design process.
