“…This study uses bibliometrics analysis for better understanding of the research trends in SCI from 1980 to 24 th February 2016. However, bliometrics analysis offers quantitative methods based on generic measures or on the quantification of expert opinions [24] and provides a list of what's available in a research area; thus, it has been receiving increased attention in supply chain management disciplines [25][26][27].…”

“…Flexibility in operations management is a wide and diverse topic with an extensive and varied literature (e.g. De Toni and Tonchia 1998, Koste and Malhotra 1999, Seebacher and Winkler, 2013. In a study in Volvo cars, Fredriksson and Gadde (2005) discuss the complex interplay between process flexibility and rigidity in offering high levels of customization and variety and the need for a balance to be struck to achieve reasonable costs and lead-times.…”

Satisfying requests for specific vehicle variants in a timely manner may increase profit margins for the automotive producer and automotive dealers and may reduce the need to incentivise customers financially to make a purchase. Open pipeline order fulfilment systems have emerged in the automotive sector to allow dealers to fulfil a customer in a number of ways. Not only can a dealer search its own stock for a suitable match to a customer's requested vehicle specification, the dealer can also search for a suitable vehicle in the planning, assembly or distribution pipeline. If a suitable match cannot be found, the dealer can submit a specific Build-to-Order request to the producer. This study examines the impact of adding a central vehicle holding compound (VHC) in such a system. Any dealer can search for a suitable vehicle match in the VHC. A simulation study of a real automotive fulfilment system is conducted to examine the effects on order fulfilment performance of establishing a VHC in a specific market. The simulation model incorporates important features that affect the management and control of the fulfilment system. The study shows that establishing a VHC in an open pipeline system has a significant effect on the level of use of each fulfilment mechanism and on fulfilment performance. A VHC results in significant reductions in lead time but can increase the total stock level in the system if the VHC operating conditions are not determined carefully. The insights and implications of the findings are discussed in detail.They are valuable in providing a base line to consider investment in a VHC and to decide the most appropriate operating policies.

“…In [23][24][25] the authors distinguish the concept of logistic controlling, which is based on the indicators of quality, efficiency, the level of logistics services and covers all parts of the supply chain. These indicators are fundamental for the evaluation of logistics processes, causes and consequences of possible deviations.…”

Summary. The modern trends in the development of logistics controlling through the prism of collaboration between wholesale companies and retail chains have been considered. The nature and structure of cargo transportation by the wholesale company to the retail chain have been analysed. The key transportation processes have been identified and the reliance on transportation drivers-forwarders for their effectiveness has been determined. The study has resulted in the program-mathematical approach to the transportation controlling automation used by the wholesale company to deliver goods to the retail chain as well as the mathematical model of the system information flow. The practical recommendations for the mathematical software implementation using the AWS Forwarder software product as an example have been illustrated.
