Warehouses form an important link in a supply chain network. Among a variety of activities in warehouses, order picking is the process of retrieving a number of items out of storage to meet customer orders. Today, as the transactions through direct sales are wide spread, warehouses often receive a large amount of small orders to be handled within tight time windows, which makes fast and efficient order picking more important than ever. This paper examines a new order picking method where the concept of bucket brigade (BB) is applied. Bucket brigade is a way of dynamically coordinating workers who progressively perform a set of operations along a flow line. In bucket brigades, a worker is not assigned his jobs in a static way. Each worker takes a job from his predecessor when he is free. We identify some considerations when bucket brigades are applied to order picking activities. A new BB picking protocol is presented to improve existing BB picking protocols. Through simulation experiments, the performance of BB order picking is evaluated under various logistics environments.

Forming central warehouses for a number of stores can save costs in the continuous review inventory model due to economy of scale and information sharing. In this paper, transportation costs are included in this inventory model. Hence, the tradeoff between inventory-related costs and transportation costs is required. The main concern of this paper is to determine the number and location of central warehouses. Transportation costs are dependent on the distance from several central warehouses to each store. Hence, we develop an efficient simulated annealing algorithm using distance-based local search heuristic and merging heuristic to determine the location and the number of central warehouses. The objective of this paper is to minimize total costs such as holding, setup, penalty, and transportation costs. The performance of the proposed approach is tested by using some computational experiments.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) system is a critical investment that can affect the competitiveness and performance of a company. Selection of a right SCM system is one of the critical issues. This paper presents the characteristic factors of SCM system and a Fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) based decision-making model for SCM system evaluation and selection. This study focuses on quantitative factors, applying the fuzzy concept to various evaluative factors. The proposed model can systematically construct the objectives of SCM system selection to achieve the business goals. A empirical example demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed model and the model can help a company to make better decision-making in the SCM system selection problem.

This paper deals with a centralized warehouse problem with multi-item and capacity constraint. The objective of this paper is to decide the number and location of centralized warehouses and determineorder quantity (Q), reorder point (r) of each centralized warehouse to minimize holding, setup, penalty, and transportation costs. Each centralized warehouse uses continuous review inventory policy and its budget is limited. A SA (Simulated Annealing) approach is developed and its performance is tested by using some computational experiments.

The scheduling rule for the fabrication process of the semiconductor manufacturing is suggested and tested on the simulation system which was developed based on the model to represent the main characteristics of wafer flows. The proper scheduling policies are necessary to meet the order change in the supply chain management. It was shown that the suggested rules which consider the wafer balance and the due date of the order, give good performances for the cycle time reduction and the rate of meeting due date as well. Also they are robust in the sense that performances are stable regardless of the order change rate and the input policies.

Modular integrated construction (MiC) is an innovative construction method where components of a building are manufactured in an offsite factory, trucked to the job site in sections, set in place with cranes, and assembled together to form a whole building. Where circumstances merit, favorable conditions exist and implemented effectively; MiC improves project performance. However, several key factors need to converge during implementation to realize the full benefits of MiC. Thus, a thorough understanding of the factors which are critical to the success of MiC projects is imperative. Drawing on a systematic review of 47 empirical studies, this research identified 25 key success factors (KSFs) for MiC projects. Of these, the five topmost cited KSFs for MiC projects include effective working collaboration and communication among project participants; standardization, optimization, automation and benchmarking of best practices; effective supply chain management; early design freeze and completion; and efficient procurement method and contracting. The study further proposed a conceptual model of the KSFs, highlighting the interdependences of people, processes, and technology-related KSFs for the effective accomplishment of MiC projects. The set of KSFs is practically relevant as they constitute a checklist of items for management to address and deal with during the planning and execution of MiC projects. They also provide a useful basis for future empirical studies tailored towards measuring the performance and success of MiC projects. MiC project participants and stakeholders will find this research useful in reducing failure risks and achieving more desired performance outcomes. One potential impact of the study is that it may inform, guide, and improve the successful implementation of MiC projects in the construction industry. However, the rigor of the analysis and relative importance ranking of the KSFs were limited due to the absence of data.

Purpose: The study attempts to explore the operational performance of the existing Malaysian logistics companies and the extent of their adoption of digitalization. The role of digitalization in enhancing the performance of companies in the logistics industry in Malaysia, for value creation, is the topic of study. Research design, data and methodology: A qualitative research method with a semi-structured interview approach was applied and judgmental sampling was used as the sampling technique to collect data. The research has chosen nine companies in the logistics industry in Peninsular Malaysia, with the interviews aimed at eleven members of top and middle-level management. Data analysis was performed using logical system techniques to examine and evaluate data, reorganizing feedback, comparing it with literature, and transforming it into structured, valuable information after interviews. Results: The study revealed mixed opinions on digitalization in logistics, despite its potential benefits such as improved operational efficiency, real-time information, and customer service. However, high costs may hinder financial performance and require revisions due to stakeholder involvement. Conclusions: The Malaysian logistics industry's adoption of digitalization is gaining traction, with most companies satisfied with their status. However, challenges like cost and inefficiency persist, prompting calls for government support to improve efficiency and reduce costs while ensuring sustainable transportation.

SCM 성과 극대화를 달성하기 위한 전제조건으로 파트너십 관계의 구축 및 유지가 중요하다. 기업 간 SCM 성과 제고를 위한 지속적인 노력에도 불구하고, 기업 간 힘의 불균형에 따라 발생할 수 있는 비효율적인 낭비 요소가 만연해 있다. 이러한 협업의 걸림돌이 되는 요소가 파워(Power)의 한 속성이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 파워유형의 속성을 파악하고 파트너십 향상을 통해 공급사슬관리의 개선방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 선행연구를 통해 파워의 원천을 크게 구속적 파워와 비구속적 파워로 분류하여, 구속적 파워의 종류로는 행동 강제성, 구속적 보상, 관계 합법성으로 구분하였으며, 비구속적 파워의 종류로는 업무 전문성, 정보 우위성, 가치 준거성으로 구분하여 살펴보고자 한다. 따라서 파워의 유형을 살펴보고 파트너십 주요 변인인 신뢰 및 몰입에 미치는 영향과 협업 및 SCM 성과로 이어지는 인과관계를 밝혀 보았으며 구체적인 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 구속적 파워는 신뢰에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 그러나 구속적 파워가 몰입에는 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 비구속적 파워는 신뢰와 몰입 모두에 유의한 영향을 보였다. 총 효과 분석결과 역시 비구속적 파워는 협업 및 SCM 성과에 간접영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 신뢰와 몰입은 모두 협업에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 조직 간 관계이론 중 사회교환이론 및 거래비용이론 측면에서 살펴본 신뢰, 몰입, 협업의 SCM 성과로 이어질 수 있으며 더불어 파워의 속성별 연계가 유의미한 결과로 이어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 넷째, 신뢰와 협업은 SCM 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 몰입은 직접적으로 SCM 성과에는 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 다만 협업을 통한 SCM 성과에는 간접적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기업들은 파워의 원천, 불균형, 결과들에 대한 이해를 포함한 공급사슬 내 파트너기업에 대한 충분한 이해와 인식을 하여야 하는데, 이러한 파워의 적절한 사용은 공급사슬 구성원 간 협력관계를 공고히 구축하고 이에 따라 공급사슬 성과의 향상과 구성원 만족을 유도할 수 있을 것이다.

Korean firms have been vigorously searching and exploring overseas market opportunities through export and overseas investment. As of end of 2019, there were more than 80,000 Korean overseas subsidiaries all over the world. With Korean overseas direct investment increasing recently, it became one of the important issues for overseas investors to be successful in the global market. There are a lot of studies on factors influencing the performance of overseas subsidiaries such as 'firm' and 'country' factors. This study empirically examines subsidiary performance determinants with 'industry architectures' by using a sample of 292 overseas Korean firm subsidiaries. Industry architectures are the stable but evolving sets of rules and roles through which labor is divided within a sector. This article considers how industry architectures shape success in international expansion. Industry architectures differ between countries, are not necessarily technologically determined, shape firms' capabilities and their competitive environment, and constitute a distinct level of analysis. We extract antecedents of related theory and empirically test its impact with a survey of Korean firms expanding in emerging economies. We would say this is the first study which tries to focus on industry architectures with the performance of Korean overseas subsidiaries. We find that separability and similarity of industry architectures across countries and localization of subsidiaries are robust and important predictors of success in international expansion. Our results suggest that industry architectures should be added to firm and country as an intermediate level of analysis that helps explain success in international expansion. While we established a pattern, much more remains to be done. We focus on the success of foreign operations, but we do not consider the broader benefits of going abroad, such as the learning or network effects that accrue at the level of the entire firm. The next obvious question is whether the results would differ in the developed market context. These we leave for future research to consider.
