“…Topics #6 and #7 are close to the others, which means it represents one common issue: emissions and environment issues for shipping sustainability, including ship emissions [72][73][74][75][76], truck and intermodal emissions [77], emission regulation and policy [1,10,78,79], and emission calculation [80]. Topics #9, #10, #11, and #13 indicate the external costs, energy, and efficiency issues in sustainability for shipping companies by optimizing their transportation routes and networks: shipping networks to minimize external cost [71], alternative sources and renewable energy [81,82], energy efficiency [83] in shipping, and fleet deployment for sustainable collaborative transportation [4]. Topics #2 and #5 are close to the others, indicating the impact of vessels' pollution on land, such as port-city [1,77] and emission of inland shipping [80].…”

Since the world’s first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, sustainability has become a focal point of significant debate for industry, government, and international organizations. As a result, research on sustainability of maritime logistics is on the rise, yet fragmented in terms of conceptual development, empirical testing and validation, and theory building. The aim of this paper is therefore two-fold: the first aim is to present a literature review of key journal articles in the field of maritime studies published between 1993 and 2017 using a technique of topic modelling; and the second is to provide future research directions with respect to major topics, themes and co-authorship patterns. Mapping and consolidation of sustainability issues are achieved by conducting a generative probabilistic text-mining technique, called latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), for latent data discovery and relationships among text document data. Moreover, bibliometric analysis is conducted to visualize the landscape of sustainability research. Based on the results, a new intellectual structure of sustainability research is created, the underlying themes are identified, key trends and patterns are extracted and future research development trajectories are mapped for the field of maritime studies.

“…Horizontal collaboration in logistics has received increasing attention in past years, often driven by the large potential in cost reduction, reduction of uncertainty, and environmental concerns (Verdonck et al., ; Du et al., ). Many articles deal with new methods in sharing principles and joint planning in literature, though few articles report on successful implementation in practice.…”

During recent years, horizontal collaboration in logistics has gained attention because of achieved potential benefits such as cost reduction, an increase in fulfillment rates, and a decrease in CO2 emissions owing to reductions in traveled distances. Successful real‐world cases, however, are rare since horizontal cooperation in logistics is not usually sustainable. This paper pays attention to this paradox of the lack of cases and discusses 16 identified practical issues that could explain this phenomenon. We propose a taxonomy composed of four categories categorizing the practical issues according to a value chain approach: design, planning and operations, market/business, and behaviors. Furthermore, we propose and discuss some measures to mitigate these problems.

“…Traditional research on supply chain collaboration focuses on the vertical collaboration between suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers [16]. More and more attention has been paid to horizontal collaboration in recent years, improving productivity, service level and market position [17], and reducing environmental pollution by reducing transportation distance [18]. Ferrell et al (2019) [19] made a detailed analysis of horizontal collaboration from the aspects of on-demand logistics, freight integration, facility sharing, incentive mechanism, etc.…”

Research on Supplier Collaboration of Daily Consumer Goods under Uncertainty of Supply and Demand

et al. 2021

This paper establishes the decentralized decision-making model of consumer goods, the active collaboration model of consumer goods suppliers, and the decentralized decision-making model of customized consumer goods. Through formula derivation and simulation, the benefit and influence differences of the three modes are compared. This paper studies the influence of supplier’s active collaboration on the supply and demand instability of consumer goods and discusses the ideal value of supply chain inventory control. In China’s modern circular economy, the inventory control of the consumer goods supply chain is unscientific and nonstandard. We discuss a new inventory control method and study the ideal value of supply chain inventory control. It helps reduce the inventory shortage loss caused by the uncertainty of daily consumer goods, improve the efficiency of the supply chain, enhance the liquidity of supply chain inventory to achieve the purpose of increasing economic value. It has reference value for the inventory control of consumer goods in other countries and regions. The results show that under certain conditions, the horizontal collaboration between suppliers can improve the completeness of consumer goods. The collaboration between suppliers can reduce the hidden dangers caused by the uncertainty of supply and demand and significantly reduce the total inventory cost of manufacturers and improve profits.
