“…The main causes of FLW, following these studies' findings, include poor forecasting, overproduction, lack of training/worse processing ability, poor packaging, logistic constraints mismanagement of cold chain (CC), inadequate cold storage facility, errors in quality checks, inappropriate precooling, a large number of participants, the lack of post-harvest precooling and handle, the lack of regulation, technology inefficiency, and loss of innovations that lead to FLW. The second stream relates to special issues in FSCs, such as CCL brokenness [9,15], stochastic demand and supply [11], poor temperature control [16] and management, and policy and industry standards. Third stream compares developing and developed countries in FLW, occurring in stages with regard to developing countries and FLW mainly emerging in the upstream of food supply chain.…”

“…In a wider definition adopted by the authors, according to the stages of FSC, food loss occurs upstream of the FSC, that is, from farm to processing. In comparison, food waste emerges downstream of the FSC [14,15]. However, there is still no single agreed-upon definition of food loss and waste [16,17], and the terms food loss (FL) and food waste (FW) are used interchangeably [4,18].…”

A Systematic Review of Factors Affecting Food Loss and Waste and Sustainable Mitigation Strategies: A Logistics Service Providers’ Perspective

This study investigates the causes of food loss and waste (FLW) from the perspective of logistics service providers (LSPs) and provides sustainable options for the Chinese market. To this end, this study reviews the literature on FLW and cold chain logistics published from 2008–2021. Until recently, little attention has been paid to understanding FLW drivers from the LSP perspective. This critical systematic literature review (SLR) aims to identify the potential drivers of FLW and provide a coherent and integrated knowledge base regarding these factors. A configurative SLR was performed, and after a filtering process, 43 articles were analyzed. Potential factors were identified and categorized into four groups: (i) poor management, (ii) inappropriate operational practices, (iii) high cost, and (iv) restrictions. The results reveal that technical inefficiency and facility costs are the most serious risks, and the lack of legislation and standards constitutes the second most serious risk for FLW. Sustainable solutions are recommended to address these risks. Finally, the study findings provide guidance for LSPs to achieve sustainability in social, economic, and ecological dimensions.

“…e results showed that the manufacturer would benefit from no information, private information, or information sharing strategies. Liu et al [37] explored information sharing in a fresh product e-tailing supply chain consisting of a supplier providing freshness-keeping effort and an e-tailer providing value-added service. en, they designed an incentive contract with a transfer payment that stimulated the e-tailer to share information with the supplier.…”

This paper examines the influence of information forecast accuracy on the profits of the supply chain under the circumstance of a multichannel apparel supply chain. Due to the emergence of multichannel, customer showrooming behavior is becoming increasingly prevalent. For example, consumers usually buy garments online after experiencing the service in the traditional bricks and mortar in the clothing industry. Meanwhile, there are often information barriers between the manufacturer and the retailer, which will affect enterprise decision-making. To solve these problems, this paper mainly investigates the information sharing and customer showrooming phenomenon, which includes four models: no information sharing without showrooming model (NN), information sharing without showrooming model (SN), no information sharing with showrooming model (NS), and information sharing with showrooming model (SS). The numerical analysis shows that under the impact of the forecast error, information sharing between channel members is more favorable than no information sharing when parameters satisfy certain conditions. From the perspectives of the retailer, the manufacturer, and the whole supply chain, customer showrooming behavior will bring them less profit. These conclusions mean that the retailer should share information with the manufacturer and adjust their service level and sales price to alleviate the effect of showrooming.

“…Zhang et al [34] find that the retailer prefers to share the information with the manufacturer on the condition of highly cost efficiency for the manufacturer's after-sale service, when the manufacturer undertakes the after-sale service. Liu et al [35] show that information sharing cooperation is more likely to occur when the supplier is more economical in terms of freshnesskeeping investment, or when the e-tailer is more efficient in terms of service investment in a fresh produce supply chain. Lai [36] find that the forecast sharing from the port in a maritime supply chain can not only improve the profits for both parties, but also facilitate the sustainability investment, even when the carrier is risk averse.…”

This paper investigates the payment scheme and forecast information sharing issues in the express delivery logistics with the high-speed railway. The HSR carriers need to coordinate the transportation capacity between passenger and freight. It is widely recognized that the advance payment scheme (APS) using as deposit is a beneficial way for the HSR carriers to make decisions on the transportation capacity preserved for express delivery. However, the express service providers, who possess private forecast information of express delivery demand, may share inaccurate information with the HSR carriers to acquire sufficient preserved transportation capacity. This paper discusses what payment scheme is preferred by the HSR carrier, the express service provider through discussing the deposit decisions with or without forecast information sharing. We show that sharing demand forecast information can reduce the prereserved capacity and increase the profits of the HSR carrier. With the delayed payment scheme (DPS), the express service provider has no motivation to share the information; while with the APS, the HSR carrier can reasonably choose the deposit to encourage the express service provider to share the demand information. Our analysis also shows that the HSR carrier’s profits with the APS is restricted by the investment returns and the express service provider’s information sharing decisions. We also analyze the value range of the deposit, which is a proportion of the overall payment, that allows both the HSR carrier and the express service provider to prefer the APS, as well as to encourage the express service provider to share the demand information.
