“…Therefore, simulation modelling is often the only way to effectively model complex processes in supply chains. According to the systematic literature review, the simulation modeling was most frequently used method in the research of the following topics: supply chain management, production planning, and inventory management and control [67]. In addition, simulation is widely used methodology for evaluation of economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainable supply chains [68].…”

One of the basic problems of sustainability in modern society is the reduction of waste, particularly when it comes to food. Food waste has negative impacts on different dimensions of sustainability: social (hunger), economic (resource costs), and environmental (resource consumption and waste generation). This paper focuses on waste reduction through improving the inventory management system in the dairy distribution chain by the application of modern information and communication technologies (ICT). The approach is tested and verified in a case study by application of simulation modelling. Two inventory management models are created, and their impact on waste in the distribution part of the supply chain is examined. Model 1 represents the current dairy inventory management system in the supply of retail stores. Model 2 is based on a higher level of information connectivity between participants (RFID product labelling and the appropriate level of information technology), enabling automatic product ordering and changes in inventory management policy. The obtained results confirm that coordinated inventory management, supported by the application of modern ICT, can significantly contribute to the improvement of the sustainability of the food supply chain, and provide an exact quantification of the given contribution in the case of the dairy industry.

“…The process of introducing and experimenting on the concept was caused by economic and political situations in Japan, which after the Second World War, struggled with such problems as raw materials scarcity which are needed for production. Imports from the West have become very limited owing to customs barriers (Chilmon and Tipi, 2020). After the Second World War, Lean management was first performed by Toyota Production System to classify the value added and non-value-added steps or activities in a process, then eliminate the waste.…”

“…Lean management is a concept of business management, which assumes the use of numerous effective tools, methods and techniques such as: standardization, group work, customer orientation, improving the organizational structure, continuous premodifying and improvement (Kaizen), avoiding waste, eliminating the causes of error, continuous material flow according to the Just in Time principle and total quality management (Melton, 2005; Gupta and Jain, 2013; Chilmon and Tipi, 2020). In addition to the management methods and techniques introduced, the tools supporting lean management also include: 5S, Single Minute Exchange of Die, Poka Yoke, Failure Mode Effect Analyze, Total Productive Maintenance, Six Sigma, Hoshin and Kanban (Jadhav et al , 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose the implementation of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) framework in supply chain by providing an actual case study of how to reduce the logistics cost. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, it is shown how LSS approach, basic tools and Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control methodology can significantly improve a company by enhancing the supply chain and reducing the logistics expenditures. Findings Root causes to the main problem of this study were analyzed to identify appropriate solutions. After the implementation of solutions, the company’s product quality and internal communication were improved. Correspondingly, the percentage of customer orders that have to be transported by road instead of maritime reduced to 5% from 13% and the percentage of the road transportation cost paid unnecessarily by the company decreased to 1% from 5%. Practical implications This case study provides a roadmap and step-by-step implementation of LSS framework for especially companies in plastics industry. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is the first example of a LSS case study conducted in Turkey to improve the supply chain of a company by targeting primarily a reduction on logistics costs.

“…distribution and preparation), whereas Wang et al (2018) identify the most relevant components of the supply chain (e.g. supplier, process and customer) and Chilmon and Tipi (2020) describe a supply chain in terms of its actors. On the other hand, there are also well-known standards such as supply chain operations reference (SCOR), a reference model for analysing, evaluating and optimizing specific processes along the supply chain (The Association for Supply Chain Management, 2017).…”

Purpose This paper aims to propose a conceptualization of the supply chain resilience domain using conceptual modelling techniques formalized through a metamodel and illustrated through an example. Design/methodology/approach This research uses conceptual modelling techniques to build and modularize the metamodel, the latter to manage complexity. The metamodel was built iteratively and subsequently instantiated with an example of a yogurt factory to analyse its usefulness and theoretical relevance, and thus its contributions to the domain. Findings Conceptual modelling techniques can represent a complex domain such as supply chain resilience simply, and the proposed metamodel makes it possible to create models that become valuable decision support tools. Originality/value Consolidation and structuring of concepts in the supply chain resilience domain through conceptual modelling techniques.
