“…The contracts, trade-off policies, environmentally friendly outsourcing, and designing appropriate strategies can also be effective tools for achieving sustainability. The strategies for the acquisition of full truck-load transportation services will reduce the carbon footprint and thus enhance the environmental sustainability in transportation services (Jothi Basu et al , 2015). Similarly, the strategies can be made to choose certified suppliers either for road or sea transport (Tesfay, 2014) and contracts can reduce the cost, risk and enhance the competitiveness (Eng-Larsson and Norrman, 2014).…”

PurposeDespite increasing attentions to sustainable service supply chain management (SSSCM), a framework for performance evaluation of sustainable service only supply chain management (SSOSCM) is still missing. This paper tries to fill this gap and provides a novel conceptual framework.Design/methodology/approachThe articles related to SSSCM are fetched from the databases of SCOPUS and Web of Science. Analysis of 174 articles identified by the systematic literature review is further carried out.FindingsThis research identifies the sustainable practices for service only supply chain (SOSC) as environmental management, social management, economic management, customer management, health, safety and risk management, technical sustainability, institutional sustainability, information and technology management as well as two performance measurement criteria as operational performance and organizational performance. This paper provides a novel conceptual framework for the performance evaluation of SSOSCM. The results call for future exploration in the following three broad directions-(1) customer's perception, involvement and their behaviour towards sustainability in SOSC context; (2) trade-off, incentive mechanism and multilevel evaluation for achieving sustainability in SOSC and (3) sustainability in SOSC from various point of views.Practical implicationsThe managers can use the framework to assess the performance of the organization while researchers can explore the discussed research gaps.Originality/valueThis is the first paper that provides a novel conceptual framework for the performance evaluation of SSOSCM as well as potential future research directions.

“…Sustainable buying helps firms to derive numerous benefits. Some of these benefits are value for money, sustain economic development, promotes intangible savings and innovation, supports technology transfer, reduce poverty rates, expands local market, improve supplier capacity, enhances competition, job creation, wealth creation, and reduction in harmful emission and improves working condition (Public Buying Authority, 2017); sustainable development (Preuss, 2009;Ball and Bebbington, 2008); economic development (Adham and Siwar, 2012); improved performance (Zhu, Sarkis and Lai, 2012); superior performance (Akenroye, 2013); value for money and sustainable buying (Caldwell, Walker, Harland, Knight, Zheng and Wakeley, 2005); reduction in carbon emission (Basu, Bai and Palaniappan, 2015).…”

Purpose- The purpose of this paper is to examine sustainable buying and its impact on buyer performance using Colleges of Education. This paper is a quantitative analysis based on seven Colleges of Education. Non-probability sampling techniques are used for choosing the unit of analysis. Also, data was collected through a well-structured questionnaire. The study found that the aspects of sustainable buying (Env, Soc, Eco) lead to improved buying performance. The study identified that buying performance is affected by e-buying systems, communication, organizational culture, business strategy, and size of organization, information available and monitoring. The study further discovered that the benefits of sustainable buying are improved quality of products, market expansion, increased intangible savings, reduced harmful emission of gas, value for money and increased efficiency in energy consumption. The study established the challenges of sustainable buying to be ineffective leadership, inadequate buying policies, budgetary constraint, inadequate compliance inspectors, lack of supplier collaboration and lack of capacity. Research limitations- the sample size is still limited and in future a quantitative analysis should be used. The study is limited in terms of the geographical area. The findings of the study are more likely to be held for other schools in all emerging market contexts. However, the applicability of these findings to other contexts needs further investigations. While interest on sustainable buying is increasing in emerging markets, there is little written on sustainable buying and its impact from the perspective of researchers from such market. Therefore, the impact of sustainable buying on buying performance has not been investigated so far.

“…However, some nonprice factors can be identified as influential fields in such problems including on-time performance of the carrier, availability of proper equipment, familiarity with shipper's operation, and even billing accuracy (Jothi Basu et al, 2015b). For instance, we can refer some cases in which the mentioned non-price factors have been considered like a multi-objective model that simultaneously minimizes cost, and maximizes shipper's confidence and marketplace fairness (Ignatius et al, 2014) or sustainability of full truck-load transportation service procurement which was focused in transport logistics via the carrier assignment problem (Jothi Basu et al, 2015a). Also, the pickup and delivery problem with profits, time windows, and reserved requests were within a bid generation problem (Li et al, 2016).…”

Leader-based diffusion optimization model in transportation service procurement under heterogeneous drivers’ collaboration networks

One of the key issues in transportation systems is allocating shipping orders to the most appropriate drivers, in the shortest time and with the maximum profit. Many studies were carried out in the transportation service procurement process for allocating orders, but none of them considered driver-to-driver interactions and applied information diffusion concepts as a framework to maximize the profit, due to the lack of a framework to model the interactions. In this paper, we present a weighted drivers' collaboration network to form the interactions. To predict the behavior of drivers, a new community detection algorithm is developed to extract communities and their leaders, in terms of the speed and the power of receiving and diffusing shipping orders. Also, we present a profit maximization model using information diffusion power of community leaders. The results show the model is able to allocate shipping orders to the most suitable drivers, in the best possible time and with the highest profit. To demonstrate the performance of the developed algorithm, we present a numerical example. Finally, a case study is applied to solve the optimization problem. The results show that the optimized behavior of companies in allocating orders to drivers is based on their risk level, reputation, and the average number of their customers.
