“…For instance, Wang et al (2010) have developed an optimization model that uses traceability data in combination with operations factors to develop an optimal production plan. Similarly, Rábade and Alfaro (2006) and Alfaro and Rábade (2009), who investigated the implementation of traceability systems in Spanish food supply chains, claim that companies involved in their studies recovered their investment in less than 2 years and had significant improvements in supply, warehousing, inventory management and production. Additional research is needed to establish the value of RFIDs in traceability systems across industries.…”

A number of high profile product safety events and recalls have heightened public attention to the safety and security of the products that people consume and use. While product safety isn’t a new topic, the effect of the global supply chain in creating or exacerbating safety risks and vulnerabilities is both timely and relevant. In this essay we focus on how the field of operations management can provide fresh perspectives and insights in addressing the challenges of product safety and security in the global supply chain. We first examine the product safety issues and challenges that arise in five industries that are increasingly globalizing their supply chains: food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, consumer products and automobiles. We describe four areas where operations management theory and methodologies can provide fresh insights and innovative solutions in addressing these problems; regulation and standards, product lifecycle management, traceability and recall management, and supplier relationships.

How to feed the world is a vital question and likewise the importance of food logistics. This paper presents a literature review of the food aspects in logistics research. A total of 159 published papers were identified from 9 logistics and supply chain management journals, whereof 104 focused on food logistics. The papers were categorised into the type of logistics activities studied from the perspective of different food supply chain actors and actor constellations. The papers were also grouped according to which food product characteristics they had highlighted as impacting logistics activities. It was noticed that food products have unique characteristics and that food supply chain actors work in a specific context. Thus, this paper puts forward a comprehensive definition of food logistics: Food logistics analyses logistics activities within a food supply chain context by problematising food product characteristics and by examining the constellation of food supply chain actors.

“…The authors mentioned requirements traceability as a possible solution to overcome these issues. Alvare et al [11] studied factors that shape client-supplier relationships and their impact on food traceability. Similar to our approach, the authors propose a conceptual framework of relationships between actors in a distributed production environment.…”

Abstract. [Context and motivation]Outsourcing of software development is an attractive business model. Companies expect cost reduction, enhanced efficiency, and exploited external resources. However, this paradigmatic shift also introduces challenges as stakeholders are spread across distinct organizations. [Question/problem] Requirements traceability supports stakeholders in satisfying information needs about developments and could be a viable way of addressing the challenges of interorganizational development. While requirements traceability has been the subject of significant research efforts, its application across organizational boundaries is a largely unexplored area. [Principal ideas/results] We followed a qualitative research approach. First, we developed a taxonomy identifying the needs of inter-organizational traceability. Second, we conducted semi-structured interviews with informants from 17 companies. Eventually, we applied qualitative content analysis to extract findings that supported and evolved our taxonomy. [Contribution] Practitioners planning and managing inter-organizational relationships can use our findings as a conceptual baseline to effectively leverage traceability in those settings. Effective traceability supports projects in accomplishing their primary goal of maximizing business value.
