“…In contrast, the support that banks, NGOs, and cooperatives can provide was evident in the creation of organizational structures and cooperatives that (for instance) facilitated farmers in facing market and pricing instability, augmenting trading capabilities and advocacy power, and increasing their chances of better understanding local political and economic conditions. This finding confirms what scholarship supports relating to the key role played by sustainable collaborative governance for enhancing stakeholders' power and supply chain resilience [40][41][42].…”

“…In particular, the main empowerment processes are related to (i) the strengthening of collaborative advocacy [40]; (ii) the creation of organizational structures and cooperatives to strengthen decision-making processes and favor collaborative governance [9,41,42]; (iii) the favoring of cooperation and dialogue both among low-power stakeholders and between low-power and more powerful stakeholders in order to increase awareness [23,43]; (iv) the intensification of training to increase competences [38]; (v) the improvement of adaptability practices [44][45][46][47]; and (vi) the favoring of new business creation and entrepreneurial solutions [48].…”

This study examines the empowerment of low-power, vulnerable stakeholders of global, complex supply chains as one effective strategy to increase value co-creation and to moderate the vulnerabilities that threaten supply chain resilience. Previous scholars have indicated the necessity of investigating the concept of value co-creation further by including various stakeholder perspectives and suggesting systems of evaluation. This research thus focuses on low-power smallholder farmers within the coffee supply chain by qualitatively evaluating the effectiveness of value co-creation projects. The study also analyzes the extent of development and the nature of empowerment initiatives designed conjointly by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and coffee roasters that are addressed to farmers. The mixed qualitative methodology includes a literature review, interviews, focus groups, and content analysis of 20 value co-creation projects conducted in various developing and emerging coffee-producing countries. The research proposes a theoretical framework employed to conduct focus groups with Brazilian coffee farmers. This framework empirically demonstrates that these farmers are in the process of becoming business partners of the coffee supply chain thanks to various empowerment initiatives, common to most of the analyzed projects, that appear to moderate specific vulnerabilities of the coffee supply chain and therefore benefit supply chain resilience.

“…Nowadays the "just-in-time" concept plays a critical role in supply chains [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The key supply chain players, including manufacturers, logistics companies, distribution facility operators, and retailers, aim to minimize delays in their operations, as those delays may negatively affect the whole supply chain and ultimately may even result in lost sales and customers.…”

Supply chains have become more time-sensitive in recent years. Delays in supply chain operations may cause significant negative externalities, including lost sales and customers. In order to facilitate the product distribution process within supply chains, reduce the associated delays, and improve sustainability of the supply chain operations, many distribution companies started implementing the cross-docking technique. One of the challenging problems in management of the cross-docking facilities is efficient scheduling of the arriving trucks. This study proposes a novel Diploid Evolutionary Algorithm for the truck scheduling problem at a cross-docking facility, which-unlike the Evolutionary Algorithms presented in the cross-docking literature to date-stores the genetic information from the parent chromosomes after performing a crossover operation. The objective of the formulated mathematical model is to minimize the total truck service cost. The conducted numerical experiments demonstrate that the optimality gap of the developed algorithm does not exceed 0.18% over the considered small size problem instances. The analysis of the realistic size problem instances indicates that deployment of the developed solution algorithm reduces the total truck handling time, the total truck waiting time, and the total truck delayed departure time on average by 6.14%, 32.61%, and 34.01%, respectively, as compared to a typical Evolutionary Algorithm. Furthermore, application of the diploidy concept decreases the total truck service cost by 18.17%.

“…Sexual supply chain manageme-nt research [18] , but the increasingly fierce and ever-changing business environment has brought huge challenges to enterprises. They urgently need a sustainable supply chain to actively and flexibly deal with uncertainties and ensure The company's normal operations [19] , so "sustainability" will likely become a research hotspot again. Also worth noting is the key word "supply chain finance" that began in 2018.…”

Research Article JTAS (2019) 2:11 A bibliometric analysis of research on Supply Chain Risk Management Analyze the knowledge structure and frontier research hotspots in the field of supply chain risk management research, and study the overall research trends in this field. Using the knowledge mapping software tools VOSviewer and Sci2 Tool, based on the articles published on the WoS core database from 1997 to 2018, systematic analysis of the development trend of supply chain risk management research. Come to the following conclusion: 1.Supply chain risk management research will become more and more "hot"; 2.Supply chain risk management research was mainly distributed in five areas:"quantitative model of supply chain risk management", "Lean closed-loop supply chain", "Supply uncertainty"and"Green Supply Chain" and "Equity risk"; 3.The three key words of "Sustainability", "Emerging Economy", "Big Data" and "Supply Chain Finance"will evolve into research hotspots in the field of supply chain risk management in the future. The research results reveal the research hotspots and frontier research topics in the field of supply chain risk management.
