Analisis Biaya Transportasi dalam Pendistribusian Singkong Menggunakan Metode Northwest Corner dan Least Cost

Transportation plays an important role in supply chain management, where transportation is the process of determining how and when goods should be delivered to consumers. In the transportation method used, it is necessary to consider efficiency and speed in delivering goods. The object of this research is cassava plantations, which are in the Bogor district, especially in the Jonggol, Cariu and Sukamakmur sub-districts. The harvest from this plantation is allocated to 3 factory areas in the Bekasi district. The problem faced is the high transportation costs in allocating the harvest. So, the minimum distribution costs that will be incurred in allocating the harvest to various chip factories are not yet known, and the route and quantity of cassava that will be sent is not yet known. One method of transportation is the Northwest Corner (NWC) and Least Cost Method. The Northwest Corner and Least Cost methods are used in determining goods delivery routes, so that you can calculate the lowest transportation costs from one place to another. Based on the research results, the minimum distribution cost allocated for cassava is IDR 5,410,000.00 with distribution channels namely Cariu to Muktijaya as much as 90 tons, Sukamakmur to Cijengkol as much as 100 tons, Cariu to Ciledug as much as 10 tons, Jonggol to Ciledug as much as 140 tons, and Sukamakmur to Ciledug as much as 20 tons.

Developing the Balanced Scorecard to Assess Investment Risks in Islamic Banks: The Yemeni Environment as a Model

this research aims to provide a Proposal Approach to developing a balanced scorecard for the use of assessing investment risks in Islamic banks. The researchers focused on the risks that are unique to Islamic banks from traditional banks, represented by the risk of the rate of return, the displaced commercial risk, the Fiduciary risk, Al- shari’a non-compliance risk, and the risk of investment in capital. To achieve this, the researchers relied on applying the Proposal Approach for three Islamic banks in Yemen due to the availability of their data in the annual reports. The results showed that there is a deficiency in the assessment of investment risks in Islamic banks with regard to the risks the Islamic banks are unique for, such as risk of the rate of return , the displaced commercial risk, the Fiduciary risk, Al- shari’a non-compliance risk, and the risk of investment in capital, It focused its attention on common risks between Islamic and commercial banks, such as credit risks, market risks, liquidity risks, and operational risks. The results also showed an effective role for the balanced scorecard in assessing investment risks in Islamic banks, which enhances the role of risk management in controlling and monitoring of the investment risks and taking appropriate procedures to reduce these risks to the acceptable levels.

Does digital economy development matter? Role of supply chain management and CO2 emissions in BRICS.

Large risks and opportunities arise for production operations as a result of international governmental initiatives to limit carbon emissions. In instance, high-emitting manufacturing processes may be a reflection of productive inefficiencies and the uncertainty of the prices of carbon dioxide emissions. Recently, there has been a lot of attention paid to the topic of ecologically responsible supply chain management. Therefore, participants in the supply chain have worked together to create effective contracts, often known as green supply chain management contracts. In order to demonstrate the key role of financial efficiency, environmental sustainability, and supply chain management in sustainable growth and digital technology development, this study considers the data for BRICS economies over the period of 2008-2022. However, under the supply chain management, this study considers the innovation efficiency, input, and output to evaluate the external determinants. However, this study employs the OLS, 2SLS, and AMG estimator to demonstrate the robust and reliable outcomes for selected economies. In compile words, this study divides empirical scheme into two different explained variables such as sustainable growth and development of digital technologies. However, to show empirical scheme very catchy, the present study uses the simultaneous equation models. Therefore, all selected indicators of sustainable growth contribute to economic growth efficiently except the foreign direct investment. Besides for the digital technology development, all factors significantly contribute to digital technologies except the carbon emissions and foreign direct investment. Additional robust tests confirm the consistency and stability of the findings reached in this research. Thus, to improve economic performance, digital economy development, and sustainability, authorities in BRICS areas should develop strategies that enhance digital economy development under the green supply chain management.

A fuzzy multi-objective optimization model for sustainable healthcare supply chain network design

Healthcare supply chains play a crucial role, which enables the implementation of optimization strategies that have rapidly emerged as highly effective means for improving the overall structure of pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chains.. In the healthcare industry, parameters such as increasing the quality of service, as well as optimizing costs, environmental, and social factors play a unique role in supply chain management. To improve the healthcare supply chain network, this study proposed a novel optimization model to optimize multiple objectives, including minimizing the total costs and environmental impacts, while maximizing the social factors by creating jobs simultaneously. To address the effects of uncertain parameters, a fuzzy optimization method alongside the multi-objective gray wolf optimizer (MOGWO), non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (MODEA), and ε-constraint are applied to optimize the model. Also, a case study of the pharmaceutical industry demonstrates the model's efficacy in a real-life context. The numerical results show the MOGWO manages to create high-quality Pareto solutions with a good spread at the Pareto boundary within a short time compared to the ε-constraint approach. Further, it has shown a more robust performance compared to MODEA and NSGA-II, indicating the efficiency of MOGWO, among other solution methods and other objective indicators.

Management accounting and control, supply chain resilience and healthcare performance under disruptive impact

PurposeBuilding supply chain (SC) resilience has become a priority for many organizations, following a global increase in disruptive events. While management accounting and control (MAC) systems play a supportive role in supply chain management (SCM) decisions, little is known about the contributions offered to resilience decisions in service organizations. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance implications of MCS's impact on proactive and reactive resilience of healthcare supply chains.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted a survey of 127 public health managers via structural equation modeling. The partial least squares version 3.3.3 was used.FindingsThe results show a statistically positive impact of MAC dimensions on proactive and reactive resilience, which in turn impacts the quality, delivery speed and cost effectiveness of the health SC. However, the integration dimension had an insignificant effect on reactive resilience but a positive effect on proactive resilience.Research limitations/implicationsThis study examined the performance implications of MAC system dimensions and proactive and reactive resilience on operational performance in health SCs, using empirical data from only one country. Thus, generalizing the findings to include other jurisdictions may be impossible.Practical implicationsHealthcare managers in public health facilities should embrace the four MAC dimensions (except the integrated dimension in reactive resilience) to support information generation in SC resilience decisions.Originality/valuePerhaps, the first to provide preliminary empirical evidence on the interactive effect of proactive and reactive resilience and MAC dimensions in terms of broad scope, timeliness, integration and aggregation on health SC operational performance under disruption, in the context of an emerging economy.

The Impact of Production and Operations Management Practices in Improving Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Supply Chain Integration

While prior research has consistently established a significant link between production and operations management (POM) practices and organizational financial performance (OFP) across various contexts, the mechanisms driving this connection remain unclear. This study addresses this gap by examining the mediating role of supply chain management (SCM) integration in the relationship between POM practices and OFP within manufacturing firms. Drawing on established theories and concepts such as the resource-based view (RBV) of firm and operation strategies, this study employed a quantitative research design. Survey data were collected from 209 managers in Jordanian manufacturing firms and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results confirmed a positive and significant association between POM practices and both SCM integration and OFP. Furthermore, SCM integration partially mediated the impact of POM practices on OFP, thereby underscoring its role in transmitting positive effects to financial performance. This research contributes to the field by integrating POM practices with SCM integration and by elucidating the mechanisms through which these practices influence financial performance in Jordanian manufacturing firms. Through this, our understanding of these relationships for practitioners and researchers alike is enhanced.

Inventory Control Model of Beef for Rendang Products

The definition and function of inventory management reveal the importance of modern industry in formulating policies that regulate the supply of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products. Unfortunately, most companies fail to consider the characteristics of their raw materials when determining inventory strategies. Raw materials that are perishable are those that consider their service life and storage time. Inventory management plays a crucial role in supply chain management, especially for perishable raw materials, such as food products. PT X, a food business in Padang, experienced difficulty in meeting the demand for rendang products due to a lack of raw materials. Therefore, this study aims to develop an inventory management model that takes into account the perishable raw materials' expiration time. The model development consists of three stages: model development design, inventory model formulation, and model testing. The proposed model resulted in a storage time interval of five days and an optimal order quantity of 34 kg of meat with a safety stock of 14 kg. Implementing this model led to lower total inventory costs for PT X than the actual conditions of the company. The total inventory cost obtained using this model is Rp279,797,822. This study emphasizes the importance of considering the characteristics of raw materials in determining inventory strategies to optimize inventory management effectively and efficiently. The study's findings can serve as a reference for other food businesses encountering similar inventory management challenges in the perishable food industry.

Sustainable resilient supplier selection for IoT implementation based on the integrated BWM and TRUST under spherical fuzzy sets

Supplier selection process plays a vital role in supply chain management and is the most important variable in its success. With increasing environmental considerations, organizations must consider sustainability considerations and economic goals to protect the environment. Furthermore, the destructive effects of disruptions on the supply chain performance of companies have prompted organizational experts to pay special attention to the concept of resilience. This study developed an integrated approach based on the extended version of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods in a spherical fuzzy (SFS) environment to address sustainable and resilient IoT supplier selection. In the proposed approach, the main criteria (i.e., resilience, and sustainability) have been used in the supplier selection process. Then, these criteria are weighted using the developed SFS-Best-Worst Method (BWM), which reduces uncertainty in pairwise comparisons. In the next step, the 14 selected IoT suppliers are evaluated and prioritized by applying SFS-mulTi-noRmalization mUlti-Distance aSsessmenT (TRUST) that considers a multi-normalization algorithm to reduce subjectivity in normalized data. The results of this study shows that the pollution control and risk-taking sub-criteria are placed in the first and second priorities, respectively. The comparison of the results of the SFS-TRUST with other MCDM methods and sensitivity analysis demonstrates the performance of the proposed approach and its ranking stability in various scenarios.

How Does Supply Chain Information Disclosure Relate to Corporate Investment Efficiency? Evidence from Chinese-Listed Companies

Supply chain information disclosure is a vital factor for corporate investment efficiency and can signal a corporation’s long-term sustainable development. However, little attention has been paid to its significance. In this paper, we investigate how supply chain information disclosure affects corporate investment decisions. Using a sample of Chinese-listed firms, we find that firms that disclose nonfinancial information are more likely to have a high level of investment efficiency. We also identify the mechanism underlying the effect by examining the mediating effect of financial constraints and agency costs. Increasing a firm’s supply chain information disclosure can improve its investment efficiency by reducing its financial constraints and agency costs. We further find that this positive impact is more pronounced for non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) and firms located in regions with a high degree of marketization. Our findings imply that supply chain information disclosure plays an important role in corporate investment efficiency and sustainable development. Our study emphasizes the importance of nonfinancial information disclosure, contributing to the literature investigating the role of supply chain management in corporate decision-making on sustainable development.
