“…One symbolic attribute where producers may invest is related to the creation of GI, where they may sell a place, a story, ideas, and even a sense of exoticism (Daviron & Ponte, 2005). In addition, despite the geographical distance between producers and consumers, some in-person services quality attributes can also be developed and implemented, such as the establishment of café chains controlled by producer organizations, agrotourism networks, safari-and-coffee farm tours, and digital marketplaces for producer-consumer interaction (Daviron & Ponte, 2005;Edelmann et al, 2022). Furthermore, as defended by Edelmann et al (2022), the introduction of brand names for farms or cooperatives (e.g., cooperative X coffee roasted by roaster XX) in consuming countries may create social and institutional proximity between coffee producers and consumers and, hence, increase the producers' profits for the symbolic quality of their coffees (and even for in-person services if they open coffee shops in consuming countries) (Edelmann et al, 2022).…”

“…These concepts have been promoted by small‐ and medium‐sized specialty roasters that divulge and market their relationships with producer communities on their websites and social media, by exposing stories and photos of farmer interaction and presenting sustainability/transparency reports. Nonetheless, these interventions do not have any third‐party audits and the claims and information provided by roasters are mainly unverifiable (Edelmann et al., 2022; Vicol et al., 2018). In addition, the studies assessing the impact of these models on farmers and their communities’ livelihoods are relatively scarce in the literature, and the results are variable.…”

“…On the other hand, Edelmann et al. (2022) found that all actors can benefit from relationship coffee models if organizational, institutional, cognitive, social, and temporary geographical proximity are established. More concretely, by analyzing and comparing three case studies of relationship coffee models, the authors found that temporary geographical proximity, particularly the initial face‐to‐face contacts, generates social and cognitive proximity—as mutual trust, recognition, and shared knowledge about coffee quality is developed during personal visits and frequent communication—and further organizational and institutional proximity—as coordination through on‐ and offline networks are enabled and the sharing of norms and values about coffee production and quality can be strengthened, which consequently leads to more recognition, pride, self‐esteem, and personal development for farmers.…”

The coffee industry is one of the most important commercial value chains worldwide. Nonetheless, it is also associated to several social, economic, and environmental concerns that impair its sustainability. The present review is focused on these main sustainability concerns from the field to the coffee cup, as well as on the strategies that are being developed and/or implemented to attain sustainability and circular economy principles in the different chain segments. In this context, distinct approaches have been applied, such as sustainable certifications (e.g., voluntary sustainability standards), corporate sustainability initiatives, direct trade, relationship coffee concepts, geographical indication, legislations, waste management, and byproducts valorization, among others. These strategies are addressed and discussed throughout this review, as well as their recognized advantages and limitations. Overall, there is still a long way to go to attain the much‐desired sustainability in the coffee chain, being essential to join the efforts of all actors and entities directly or indirectly involved, namely, producers, retailers, roasters, governments, educational institutions (such as universities and scientific research institutes), and organizations.

“…En una empresa de este sector en Antioquia se observa la necesidad de optimizar el proceso de ensamble y distribución de estas máquinas para asegurar sostenibilidad en el mercado y contribuir de una manera ágil al desarrollo del sector agrícola del país [9], [10]. La empresa actualmente tiene una demora en la entrega de las máquinas despulpadoras, no tiene una política de recepción de pedidos, de fabricación ni de entrega, es decir, cuando llega una solicitud de venta se envía a producción la cantidad de máquinas requeridas, luego estas van a un lugar de almacenamiento hasta que sean despachadas.…”

Contexto: El café es una bebida popular que se obtiene de la semilla de un arbusto denominado cafeto, esta es molida y tostada para obtener el polvo que se utiliza para la elaboración de la bebida. Para su transformación es necesario emplear diferentes tipos de máquinas, lo cual es un nicho de mercado importante para la economía del país. Por lo tanto, se hace necesario identificar oportunidades de mejora en las actividades del proceso que comprende pedido, producción y despacho de las máquinas despulpadoras de café en una empresa colombiana. Método: A partir del uso de simulación como herramienta, se procede a construir un modelo que represente apropiadamente la realidad de la empresa, iniciando por la delimitación del problema, siguiendo con la identificación de variables clave, la toma de muestras y su análisis estadístico, la construcción de la simulación con sus respectivos procesos de validación y verificación, y finalmente el análisis de resultados, y las posibilidades de aplicación en la empresa en conjunto con conclusiones del proceso. Resultados: A partir de los escenarios construidos, se recomienda diseñar un área de despacho para acceder a la información de forma rápida y oportuna junto con el desarrollo de un software especializado que permita digitalizar órdenes y remisiones, adicionalmente la planeación de rutas de entrega de pedidos priorizados según las variables clave en el proceso. Con la implantación de las anteriores sugerencias, la cola de máquinas ensambladas y sin ser despachadas se redujo en un 51 % y los despachos de las máquinas despulpadoras de café incrementaron en un 49 % mejorando la satisfacción del cliente. Conclusiones: La inversión necesaria para implementar el escenario de solución representa retornos a mediano plazo, lo cual, junto con la satisfacción del cliente, permite hacer competitiva a la empresa. Se propone hacer un estudio de la logística de despacho de los pedidos, dado que esta parte del problema se evidencia, pero no se puede resolver mediante simulación.

“…Dominant export activity in the arabica type where the Asian, Australian, American and European continents are the main export commodity continents (BPSStatistik, 2017). Connoisseurs of brewed coffee derived from arabica types almost all predominantly consume from adolescence to adulthood (Edelmann et al, 2022). One of the Coffee Shops, namely the TKP Coffee Shop, is a briefing place for customers who want to just enjoy Arabica coffee and do formal agenting.…”

The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of suppliers based on the AHP method at the highest weight level, the consistency level of supplier performance based on the smallest consistency value and predict demand with the selected value in the conversion in the kilogram model. The research methodology is quantitative integration of AHP- Single Exponential Smoothing. The data of this study is primary data covering the AHP of the questionnaire, secondary data covering the data of actual requests. This study states that the performance of suppliers includes Quality, Cost and Delivery with consistency with the smallest criteria, namely Delivery, Quality and Flexybility. Meanwhile, the demand prediction with a capacity of 1336 cups of arabica coffee was converted to a capacity of arabica coffee beans of 27 kg in April 2022. The implications of this study are expected to be carried out in determining the dumping factor is experiment with a dumping factor decision-making model that is adjusted to the needs of the TKP Coffee Shop. The suggestion of this study for researchers can then determine the estimated capacity of safety supplies and an economical ordering model.
