“…In addition, Day et al (2012) found that humanitarian supply chain coordination is often a matter of life or death, while effective coordination in traditional consumer goods supply chains is a matter of profit or loss. Finally, in humanitarian supply chains, there is increased reliance on partnering among independent parties who may have no prior working relationship (Dubey et al 2017;Venkatesh et al 2018). Given the pressures and uncertainty with migrant networks, organizations need to focus on managing these unique supply chain constraints to ensure high levels of agility.…”

Managing migrant supply networks is a critical issue both domestically and internationally. In this research, using a supply chain perspective, a typology is developed to provide recommendations for migration stakeholders. The typology can be used to assess factors within a migrant network including: pressure to migrate, the network agility, and the total cost of migration. The typology identifies specific investments that developmental agents can focus on to mitigate the pressure to migrate. In instances of genocide and other forms of forced migration, the model identifies ways stakeholders can support agile refugee flows to ensure faster and safer travel and to shorten transit times.

“…Next, this study is based on single case study which restricts its generalization across the industry. Although, there are various studies followed similar approach in literature in similar situation (Kumar and Garg, 2017;Kumar and Rahman, 2017;Venkatesh et al, 2018;Govindan et al, 2017). For the purpose of generalization, the proposed priority ranking can be assessed rom multiple case studies.…”

The present study identifies and prioritizes the barriers pertaining to implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies in Indian service industries. The 10 most important barriers related to CSR implementation have been first identified and then evaluated for the ranking process using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) based methodology. The outcome of the study clearly presents that lack of top management commitment, lack of significant benefit of CSR, and financial constraints are the most important barriers in effective implementation of sustainable CSR initiatives among organizations belonging to the Indian service industry. These results may be used by decision makers to understand and these barriers, and identify critical success factors for the CSR process, which will help them to ensure that CSR is effectively implemented in their respective organizations.

“…Rating of a MoU can be achieved by using AHP combined with TOPSIS that has been found a valuable hybrid method [64][65][66]. The combination of AHP-TOPSIS has been proven a robust solution when a group of experts lacks knowledge on a subject or information is not sufficient [55,67,68].…”

Historically, several maritime casualties have caused loss of lives or environmental disasters. World states are responsible to eliminate such disasters, along with the improvement and efficiency of goods transportation. To prevent similar cases, states have agreed to enforce international standards to oceangoing ships. For monitoring purposes, each state has empowered its Port State Control (PSC) to inspect foreign ships. Nevertheless, there are arguments that ships are over-inspected while accidents still occur. As a complementary action, some private organisations developed risk-based models, which used inspection results by PSC authorities to rate substandard ships. However, these companies provide the results of ships rating only to their clients. In this paper, it is argued that variations among PSC standards are not included in existing risk-based models. Therefore, in the proposed methodology, a Risk Accident Likelihood Tool is introduced, which is based on the reported ship deficiencies. The innovative idea is that every deficiency is weighted according to the rigorousness of the PSC recording the deficiency. This study shows that the challenges of inspection authorities are mainly caused by insufficient resources or poor organisational issues. Eventually, the proposed risk methodology provides a simplified scoring method. Ships with a high score are more likely to suffer an accident.
