“…Even when considering potential internal subdivisions in business functions, such as the case of BAT (2019) leaf and non-leaf supply chains, this association between the product-agent reference remains in place within the supply chain phenomenon. In this case, the organization is recognized as a set of multiple supply chains (Gattorna, 2006;Brandao & Godinho-Filho, 2022), and based on a specific agent or product, supply chains are projectedthrough discoursethat can be recognized or managed from within the organization. Ultimately, there is a significant proximity between the concepts of flow and supply chain because it is through flows that the scope of the supply chain proposed for management is defined.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the evolution of terminology in supply chain management (SCM) and its implications for the field’s strategic orientation. It also aims to understand how SCM terms adapt to interdisciplinary contexts, reflecting shifts in theoretical and practical approaches within the discipline. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a systematic literature review and analyzes over 3,500 unique SCM-related terms extracted from approximately 33,000 abstracts. By using Descending Hierarchical Classification and factor analysis, the research methodologically identifies key shifts in terminology and discerns underlying patterns. Findings This study categorizes terminological variations in SCM into three main clusters: product–agent, performance objective orientation and structure. These variations signal not only linguistic changes but also strategic shifts in SCM understanding and practice. Notably, terms such as “green,” “sustainable” and “circular” supply chains have emerged in response to evolving internal and external pressures and trends. In addition, this paper offers a nuanced understanding of these terminological adaptations, proposing a reference framework for navigating SCM’s evolving lexicon and highlighting global usage and geographical and cultural nuances in SCM discourse. Research limitations/implications This paper presents a reference framework that complements existing SCM definitions, fostering a shared understanding of SCM variations on a global scale. This framework enhances cultural sensitivity within the field and underscores SCM’s adaptability and flexibility. These insights offer a nuanced view of SCM dynamics, benefiting researchers and practitioners alike. Beyond terminology, this study sheds light on the interplay between language and SCM strategy, providing a valuable perspective for navigating the evolving SCM landscape. The study’s scope is constrained by the analyzed abstracts. Future research could broaden this analysis to encompass more SCM literature or delve deeper into the implications of terminological changes. Practical implications This study offers practitioners a reference framework for navigating the evolving lexicon of SCM. This framework aids in understanding the strategic implications of terminological changes, enhancing clarity and context in both academic and practical applications. Social implications By acknowledging global usage and variations, the research underscores the impact of geographical and cultural nuances on SCM discourse. This global perspective enriches the understanding of SCM as a dynamic and culturally sensitive field. Originality/value This research is novel in its extensive and systematic exploration of SCM terminology. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of how language evolves in tandem with strategic shifts in the field, providing a unique perspective on the interplay between terminology and strategy in SCM.

“…Supply chain delivery management, as a key component of supply chain management, has received widespread attention from relevant scholars [1][2]. The development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain technologies has greatly promoted the development of the supply chain field [3]. Therefore, how to combine cutting-edge directions such as biological heuristic algorithms with the research content of supply chain management is a key challenge in promoting the development of this field [4].…”

Reducing logistics costs in the supply chain has been a key concern of major enterprises. Meanwhile, reducing the delivery cost of the supply chain is a key component of supply chain cost management. Therefore, this article mainly focuses on the cost management of agricultural enterprise supply chain delivery and achieves the goal of reducing logistics costs by optimizing the specific process of supply chain delivery. Firstly, a multi-objective mathematical model was established by comprehensively considering multiple objectives such as delivery cost targets and carbon emission targets in the delivery process of agricultural products. Furthermore, the delivery quality of agricultural products during the delivery process was ensured through time window constraints, and corresponding constraint conditions were established based on the actual scenarios during the agricultural product delivery process. On this basis, an Improved Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (IABC), a heuristic algorithm, was designed. And simulation experiments were conducted. The simulation results showed that the algorithm designed in the article can be effectively applied to the cost management problem of agricultural enterprises.

This paper addressed the cycle analysis of the Colombian sugarcane harvest, transport, and unloading system, providing evidence to highlight the synchronization of the machinery as the main bottleneck. The paper's uniqueness to previously published results lies in the holistic approach adopted, integrating operational, economic, and environmental performance indicators. The solution approach considered a set of mathematical formulations and logical rules that feed three perspectives of analysis (operational, economic, and environmental). Consequently, the computational models for each perspective are called ‘modules’ and generate the performance measures. The preliminary analytical results showed low utilization rates for all system resources and a significant difference between the sugarcane harvested and the volume transported to the mill. A sensitivity analysis was conducted using different scenarios to study the impact of machinery synchronization on the system performance. In summary, the main results show that the maximum use of the harvester will be achieved by two tractors in the cycle. Consequently, the operational cost and energy consumption will increase. Besides, the number of wagons per truck will positively influence the system's performance. Although larger truck fleets will improve the system capacity, a deeper financial analysis becomes necessary due to the intense capital investment.
