“…Multi-criteria analysis can be used either retrospectively to evaluate things to which resources have already been allocated or prospectively to appraise things that are as yet only proposed. These related techniques have been applied in various ways to supply chain risk management (Loredo et al, 2015;El Khayyam and Herrou, 2016;Moktadir et al, 2018) and supply chain decision-making JDAL 4,1 (Barker, 2011;Borade et al, 2013;Da Cruz et al, 2013;Khan, 2018;Wang et al, 2018). In this work, to calculate organic supply chain risk (Figures 11 and 12), a technique similar to that of Loredo et al (2015) is used to determine supply chain risk, wherein Loredo et al (2015) assessed the multiple-criteria of parts in the US Army supply inventory and applied the time-aspect of days until item stock-out.…”

Purpose The future retirement of US Air Force (USAF) legacy weapon systems (WSs) removes their associated funding from within the Air Force Working Capital Fund and their parts from its organic supply chain inventory. The trending outsourcing of product support to contracted logistics support and its potential long-term consequences to the USAF government-owned, government-operated, organic supply chain and the reconstitution capabilities it enables in the USAF’s organic industrial base, suggests the need to assess its risks. Although there is an existing body of research into the risks of outsourcing the USAF’s industrial repair, and federal legislation such as Core 50/50 laws enacted to institutionalize its risk management, there is comparatively little research into the outsourcing risks to the long-term viability of the supply chain on which that repair capability is dependent. The aim of this research is to fill that research gap by assessing and modeling those risks. This research concludes by providing several future research directions that may be evaluated to provide more detail. Design/methodology/approach Leveraging a conceptual model derived from research and a multi-criteria analysis framework to assess supply chain risk. Quantifying the predicted impact of retirements on funding and inventories of unique parts. Modeling the potential risk due to WS retirement. Findings Results indicated long term enterprise risks to the Air Force’s supply chain correlated to the retirement of WSs and their associated funding and spare parts inventory. Originality/value This research provides an in-depth evaluation of the USAF’s supply chain to assess the holistic risk of product support outsourcing and its long-term impacts on viability by using resource-based view and contingency theory as theoretical underpinnings. In addition, insights and implications for defense supply chain managers and decision-makers.

“…Several organizations classify container terminals according to their size, in particular the surface area of container terminals, lengths and platform infrastructure. The physical performance contributes to 51.23% of total performance [19]; which explains the significance of the physical performance to overall performance In addition to those objectives, there is a need to improve trade performance, as shipping which is correlated with the economic developments and the performance in international trade.…”

A hybrid framework for evaluating the performance of port container terminal operations

et al. 2020

This work intends to integrate artificial neural network (ANN) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) in a single framework to evaluate the performance of operations in the container terminal. The proposed framework is based on three steps. In the first step, a proposed identify the performance measures objectives and the indicators affecting the system. In the second step, the efficiency scores of the system are computed by using the Charnes Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) model (oriented inputs). In the last step, the Moth Search Algorithm (MSA) is employed as a new method for training the Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) to determine the efficiency scores. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed framework, two container terminals of Tangier and Casablanca are adopted to evaluate the performance.

“…In these papers, models were built utilizing the perceptions of the various stakeholders, such as port service providers, users and customers. There are also a number of articles on commercial port evaluation where various criteria defined by groups, stakeholders, or via regulatory document were identified (Cruz et al, 2013a;2013b;Madeira et al, 2013). In Brazil, the only in-depth study with the aim of selecting the new naval base for the Brazilian fleet was done by of the Federal University of Pará (Brasil, 2010).…”

“…To aid in this process, various decision support methods allow us to structure the problem so as to model the judgments and preferences of decision-makers. Some researchers emphasize that Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods can be structured through the values of the problem context or organizations (Figueira et al, 2005;Montibeller and Franco, 2010;Cruz et al, 2013b). In other words, the application of the MCDA method consistently assists stakeholders in identifying the criteria and the construction of the decision process.…”

Strategic decisions in transport: a case study for a naval base selection in Brazil

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A decision on a military strategic environment, such as the selection of a new naval base, is a complex process and involves various criteria. In this context, few studies are available on the problems of military-naval transport decisions. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present a maritime transport case study using a multi-methodology framework in a process of strategic decision making in logistics. Through a review of the literature, normative documents from the Brazilian armed forces, and interviews with military officers, criteria and preferences were identified and a hierarchical structure was constructed for a case study in the Brazilian Navy-the location of the second Fleet Headquarters. The results indicated that São Marcos Bay, in Maranhão State, was the best location among the alternatives. The multi-criteria approach was shown to be a valuable tool in assisting the decision making process and to understand the trade-offs between strategic and operational criteria in a transport decision.Resumo: Decisões em um ambiente estratégico-militar, como a seleção de uma nova base naval, são processos complexos e que envolvem diversos critérios. Neste contexto, poucos estudos estão disponíveis sobre o problema de tomada decisão em transporte militar-naval. Portanto, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um estudo de caso utilizando um método multicritério em um processo de tomada de decisão estratégico-militar em logística. Por meio da revisão da literatura, de documentos normativos das Forças Armadas e de entrevistas com militares, foram identificados os critérios, as preferências e foi construída a estrutura hierárquica para um caso real da Marinha do Brasil, na localização da segunda sede da Esquadra na costa Norte e Nordeste brasileira. O resultado indicou que a Baía de São Marcos, no Maranhão, é a melhor localização entre as alternativas consideradas. O método multicritério demostrou ser uma ferramenta válida para auxiliar no processo decisório e para entender as compensações entre os critérios estratégicos e operacionais em uma decisão de transporte.Palavras-chave: seleção de portos; transporte marítimo; análise de decisão; MCDA; marinha do brasil.
