Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the Special Issue of Sustainability (MDPI), jointly proposed by Federico SOLARI, Giovanni ROMAGNOLI, and Eleonora BOTTANI.

This Special Issue explores the new challenges and emerging trends in logistics and supply chain management as a response to new requirements imposed by both the pandemic and the more recent international energy crisis.

The recent pandemic, with the subsequent restrictions that governments have imposed on citizens, has radically changed consumer behaviour, resulting in an increase in consumption and demand variability, which consequently reflects a higher variability for logistics and production. In addition, the energy crisis that has affected Europe in recent months, partly due to the new international equilibrium that is emerging as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the growing attention that citizens, companies, and governments have directed towards climate change, are also deeply affecting the market, resulting in a trend towards a progressive "deglobalization". Some other trends are emerging on a global level, such as new sourcing strategies, an increase in online purchasing and home delivery services, greater digital awareness, and a greater need for digitisation in different areas, ranging from services to logistics and manufacturing. Thus, it is evident how logistics and supply chain management have faced, and are still facing, significant disruptions, as they must adapt to this new context and manage increasing complexities.

This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for scientific contributions and a discussion of these issues, in line with the scope of Sustainability of promoting scientific contributions related to sustainability and sustainable development. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following areas:

The application of R-frameworks (from the 3R: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, to the 9R framework) in supply chain and logistics (SC&L);
The application of artificial intelligence and Big Data in SC&L;
Carbon footprint reduction in logistics;
Circular economy and triple bottom line (profit, people, and planet);

From Single Orders to Batches: A Sensitivity Analysis of Warehouse Picking Efficiency

by Claudio Suppini, Natalya Lysova, Michele Bocelli, Federico Solari, Letizia Tebaldi, Andrea Volpi and Roberto Montanari

Sustainability 2024, 16(18), 8231; https://doi.org/10.3390/su16188231 - 21 Sep 2024

Abstract

Currently, companies are called to meet variable market demand whilst having to comply with tighter delivery times, also due to the growing spread of e-commerce systems in the last decade. As never before, it is therefore mandatory to increase the efficiency within distribution centers to minimize operating costs and increase environmental and economical sustainability. The picking process is the most expensive task in a warehouse, both for the required resources and time for completing all the operations, which is typically carried out manually. Several policies can be identified, such as discrete or batch picking. Many studies tend to optimize both policies, treating them distinctly and integrating them with other factors including, for instance, the logic of product allocation. This article stands on a higher decision-making level: starting from a database obtained with a simulative approach that contains the average distances covered by pickers in different warehouse configurations, the aim is to provide an analysis of which factors have the greatest impact in preferring a discrete order picking policy over the batch one. The factors in question are shape factor, input–output point, routing and storage location assignment policies. Results can be useful for industrial practitioners in defining the most efficient managerial strategies. Full article

Robust Financing Decisions of Green Supply Chain under Market Risk

by Huimin Liu, Zengqing Wei, Dingyuan Hu, Jinyu Yang and Dazhi Linghu

Sustainability 2024, 16(18), 7942; https://doi.org/10.3390/su16187942 - 11 Sep 2024

Abstract

In the face of global climate change and the collision of consumer preferences towards green and low-carbon, businesses need to accelerate the transition to sustainable development to achieve long-term growth. Companies must raise significant funds to support this transition and manage high market risk. The existing research on green innovation within supply chains often overlooks market risks, particularly those associated with incomplete information. Hence, this paper considers a two-echelon supply chain system composed of a manufacturer and a retailer. Manufacturers are willing to carry out green innovation and make a single product for sale in the consumer market with green preferences. However, innovation is risky due to the uncertainty in the sales volume of green products. In addition, the manufacturer may lack internal capital to invest in the innovation activities and may seek external financial resources, e.g., bank loans or retail prepayment financing. Hence, the manufacturer and retailer must decide which financial option to adopt. The results show that when the market risk is high, the supply chain members tend to make conservative decisions, no matter which financial modes they choose. However, with the robust optimization approach, the manufacturer and the retailer may earn a higher profit when the market risk is high. When the prepayment rate and bank loan interest rate are equal, regardless of the market risk, the manufacturer’s optimal decision is to choose prepayment financing from the retailer. However, when the prepayment rate is higher than the bank loan interest rate, there is no dominant strategy for the manufacturer to choose. Full article

Environmental Impact Assessment of Organic Wheat Cracker Value Chains with and without Nettle Powder as a Natural Additive: A Case of Sweden

by Techane Bosona

Sustainability 2024, 16(7), 3092; https://doi.org/10.3390/su16073092 - 8 Apr 2024

Abstract

Due to the growing global population and consequent increased demand for food, the global production of cereal crops has increased. Wheat is one of the most important food crops in the world, as its products, e.g., bread and crackers, have served as important sources of nutrition for many years. However, the environmental impacts of wheat-derived food products are not frequently explored. This study presents an environmental impact assessment of organic wheat crackers within the context of Swedish winter wheat production using both primary and literature-based data. A cradle-to-consumer gate life cycle analysis (LCA) approach using the functional unit (FU) of 1 kg of crackers was applied while considering two cracker value chains: (i) without additives and (ii) using nettle powder as a natural additive. Four environmental impact categories—cumulative energy demand (CED), climate change impact (GWP), acidification, and eutrophication—were explored, with a particular focus on CED and GWP. The analysis results indicated that the total CED values were about 13 MJ/FU and 14 MJ/FU for crackers without and with the additive, respectively. Similarly, the total GWP values were 379 g CO₂ eq/FU and 464 g CO₂ eq/FU, respectively. The post-harvest processing and handling stage was an environmental hot spot in both cases. The introduction of the nettle additive has increased the quantified values of all four of the investigated impact categories. These insights will enable food processors and policy makers to communicate the environmental impacts and make informed decisions to improve the sustainability of wheat crackers. This paper contributes to a database of the environmental impacts of wheat products, specifically LCA data of organic wheat crackers and the LCA method for further LCA studies of snacks and other wheat products with plant-based functional additives.

Tri-Objective Vehicle Routing Problem to Optimize the Distribution Process of Sustainable Local E-Commerce Platforms

by Francesco Pilati and Riccardo Tronconi

Sustainability 2024, 16(5), 1810; https://doi.org/10.3390/su16051810 - 22 Feb 2024

Cited by 2 | Viewed by 1342

Abstract

The dramatic growth of online shopping worldwide in the last few years generated negative consequences for local small retailers who do not adopt information technologies. Furthermore, the e-commerce sector is considered a good opportunity to develop sustainable logistic processes. To reach this goal, the proposed paper presents a mathematical model and a metaheuristic algorithm to solve a multi-objective capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) distinguished by economic, green, and ethical objective functions. The proposed algorithm is a multi-objective simulated annealing (MOSA) that is implemented in a software architecture and validated with real-world instances that differ for the product type delivered and the geographic distribution of customers. The main result of each test is a tri-dimensional Pareto front, i.e., a decision-support system for practitioners in selecting the best solution according to their needs. From these fronts, it can be observed that if the economic and environmental performances slightly deteriorate by 1.6% and 4.5%, respectively, the social one improves by 19.4%. Furthermore, the developed MOSA shows that the environmental and social objective functions depend on the product dimensions and the geographic distribution of customers. Regarding the former aspect, this paper reports that, counter-intuitively, the metabolic energy consumption per driver decreases with bigger products because the number of necessary vehicles (and drivers) increases, and, thus, the workload is divided among more employees. Regarding the geographic distribution, this manuscript illustrates that, despite similar traveled distances, highly variable altitudes cause more carbon emissions compared to flat distributions. Finally, this contribution shows that delivering small goods decreases the distance that vehicles travel empty by 59%, with a consequent cost reduction of 16%. Full article

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian–Ukrainian war have significantly impacted global supply chains, including the food supply chain, in numerous countries. As one of the leading wheat importers, Egypt has been adversely affected by the simultaneous occurrence of these two events. Baladi bread is an integral part of the daily diet in Egypt, so any disruption affecting its availability can have a severe impact on the country’s food security. This study aims to simulate the causes and effects of potential disruptions that could occur, such as increased transportation time, unavailability of sourcing, and surge in demand due to lockdowns and panic buying. The East Cairo region was chosen as a case study to model the Baladi bread supply chain. A discrete-event simulation model was developed using anyLogistix software (version 2.15.1) for this study. Five key performance indicators were selected to evaluate, analyze, and compare the outcomes of each scenario in terms of the performance and operation of the food supply chain: service level by product, lead time, demand backlog, average daily available inventory in the mills, and on-hand inventory of wheat in the silos. The results indicate that the supply chain has been significantly impacted by the disruptions caused by these two events, leading to decreased availability of Baladi bread, unmet demand, extended lead times, and high backlogs. By utilizing the research findings, proactive strategies can be developed to minimize the impact of such disruptions in the future and maximize food security and supply chain resilience.

Impacts of COVID-19 on Logistics Service Providers’ Operations: An Italian Empirical Study

by Giovanni Zenezini, Anna Corinna Cagliano, Giulio Mangano and Carlo Rafele

Sustainability 2024, 16(1), 208; https://doi.org/10.3390/su16010208 - 26 Dec 2023

Abstract

The lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2021 resulted in a substantial increase in e-commerce purchases, with the consequent growth of logistics services. Thus, this paper is aimed at studying the effects of the pandemic on the operational processes of logistics service providers. To this end, a survey questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of identified respondents. The collected data were quantitatively analyzed via the Kruskal–Wallis test. The outcomes point out that logistics operators faced an increase in the distances traveled to carry out pick-up and delivery activities, and larger companies added more light vehicles to their fleets, proving that the company size was a relevant aspect of ensuring a quick response to the pandemic. These results show an increased business-to-consumer market share that is leading to a redesign toward more sustainable operational strategies. Full article

Modeling Techno-Economic Wood Procurement from Renewable Forests for the Sustainable Energy Supply of a CHP Plant

by Teijo Palander

Sustainability 2024, 16(1), 170; https://doi.org/10.3390/su16010170 - 23 Dec 2023

Viewed by 1307

Abstract

The importance of the national security of supply has been emphasized in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in operating environments. Thanks to autonomy and resiliency in fuel procurement, organizations with decentralized energy plants may be able to quickly adapt to the changing needs of society. The main aim of this study was to increase the sustainability of these CHP plants’ wood procurement by modeling it and determining the company’s profitable wood procurement region while keeping the forests renewable. The environmental sustainability of wood procurement was assessed by considering the additional costs caused through the EEAP mechanism if the carbon sink of the forest worsened due to wood procurement in the area. The supply chains were compared so that the CHP plant managers could adopt the best energy wood value chains. The results showed that updating the procurement strategy would be necessary. The CHP plant managers should purchase energy wood from a larger procurement area than the current one and focus on roadside purchases of wood. The Techno-Economic Wood Payment Ability Model was a useful part of the DSS in guiding wood buyers toward sustainable wood procurement by increasing the share of renewable forests. Full article

The Medical Right to Repair: Intellectual Property, the Maker Movement, and COVID-19

by Matthew Rimmer

Sustainability 2023, 15(20), 14839; https://doi.org/10.3390/su152014839 - 13 Oct 2023

Cited by 2 | Viewed by 6057

Abstract

This article considers the strengths and limitations of the use of 3D printing and additive manufacturing for the production of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 public health crisis. It explores the role of the Maker Movement in addressing the shortfall in medical equipment during the public health pandemic. Taking a comparative approach, this article evaluates the responses of both the commercial and amateur sides of the 3D printing community to the COVID-19 public health crisis. In the EU, the Fab Lab Network sought to overcome a breakdown in supply chains. In the US, Dale Dougherty of Make Magazine promoted Plan C, in which volunteers have worked together to produce PPE. In Australia, 3D printing has been used to augment supplies of PPE. In this context, a key issue across jurisdictions has been the tension between intellectual property rights and the right to repair—particularly when 3D printing has been applied to deal with shortages in PPE. Senator Ron Wyden put forward the Critical Medical Infrastructure Right-to-Repair Act of 2020 (US) to try to resolve these tensions. Open licensing has proven to be a helpful mechanism to enable open collaboration and sharing of 3D printing designs for the purposes of health care. Nonetheless, it is argued that there should be stronger recognition of the right to repair—particularly in the context of health-care and medical devices. The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted that there needs to be a broader array of intellectual property flexibilities to deal with public health emergencies—including in respect of the right to repair. As such, this article supports a broad vision of a TRIPS Waiver which includes the right to repair. The recognition of a right to repair will help promote the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals and a COVID-19 recovery. The topic of the medical right to repair has larger implications for sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in respect of responsible production and consumption (SDG 12), as well as good health and well-being (SDG 3), innovation (SDG 9), and partnerships for the goals (SDG 17).

Dynamic Capabilities Influence on the Operational Performance of Hotel Food Supply Chains: A Mediation-Moderation Model

by Mahmoud Abou Kamar, Omaima Munawar Albadry, Samar Sheikhelsouk, Mohammed Hasan Ali Al-Abyadh and Omar Alsetoohy

Sustainability 2023, 15(18), 13562; https://doi.org/10.3390/su151813562 - 11 Sep 2023

Cited by 8 | Viewed by 2370

Abstract

This study develops and tests an integrated model based on the Dynamic Capabilities View (DCV) to empirically examine how dynamic capabilities influence the operational performance of hotel food supply chains through the mediating role of supply chain resilience and the moderating influences of environmental uncertainty and disruption orientation. The model is tested using survey data from 160 five- and four-star hotel managers in Egypt and the findings of structural equation modeling. The findings support the proposed model and reveal a positive effect of total dynamic capabilities and the four dynamic capabilities (i.e., collaboration, integration, agility, and reconfiguration) on the operational performance of hotel food supply chains through the mediating role of supply chain resilience. The results affirm that supply chain resilience mediates the relationship between dynamic capabilities (in total) and operational performance. Furthermore, the results show that environmental uncertainty moderates the above linkage, whereas disruption orientation does not do that. With the extension of DCV, our findings contribute to deepening our understanding of the dynamic capabilities contributing to the development of hotel food supply chain performance. These findings hold crucial implications for academics, managers, and policymakers. They also provide valuable insights on how to effectively control operational performance during disruptions.

Enhancing Capacity to Comply with Sustainability Standards in the Milk Value Chain in East Africa: Challenges, Prospects, and Policy Implications

by Fredy Timothy Mlyavidoga Kilima, George Mutani Msalya and Amos Omore

Sustainability 2024, 16(18), 8100; https://doi.org/10.3390/su16188100 - 16 Sep 2024

Viewed by 1135

Abstract

This paper addresses the need to contextualize sustainability standards and supply chain management in dairy value chains in East Africa, where milk perishability and limited cold storage significantly impact the industry. The study highlights the importance of localizing these standards, given the greater dependence on local supply chains following the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on milk standards literature and various interventions aimed at promoting systemic change, this review analyses the capacity of marginalized stakeholders in East Africa’s dairy value chains to meet sustainability standards, focusing particularly on the social dimensions of these standards. The findings indicate that compliance with sustainability and safety standards is predominantly restricted to formal dairy networks, which process less than 20 percent of milk produced in the region. Most milk sales occur through informal or unorganized markets, which face significant barriers to meeting international sustainability benchmarks. The review advocates for the alignment of international sustainability standards with the unique conditions of the informal markets dominating East Africa’s dairy sector. It suggests enhancing stakeholder capabilities and addressing regulatory barriers as necessary steps for improving compliance with these standards. The co-operative model is highlighted as a promising approach to integrating farmers and marginalized value chain actors into the formal sector, thereby facilitating incremental adoption of sustainability standards. The paper identifies strategic entry points for organizing and upgrading the supply chain, including capacity building, certification, and catalyzing farmer groups to compliance and productivity.

Sustainability across the Medical Device Lifecycle: A Scoping Review

by Luis Montesinos, Pedro Checa Rifá, Mireya Rifá Fabregat, Javier Maldonado-Romo, Stefano Capacci, Alessia Maccaro and Davide Piaggio

Abstract

Medical devices are instrumental in servicing the healthcare sector and promoting well-being in modern societies. However, their production and use contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, thus causing indirect harm to global health. With a share of approximately 4.4% of global emissions, the healthcare sector exhales CO₂ throughout its value chain; sources of this range from direct electricity consumption and water heating in healthcare facilities to the supply chains delivering healthcare services and products. Within this context, the environmental impact of medical devices is present across their production, distribution, usage, and eventual disposal. Each step in the lifecycle of medical devices consumes energy and natural resources, and the end product, after its often single use, is discarded, generating plastic or electronic waste. This study aims to present the key findings from a scoping review of academic research on the topic, which focuses on reducing the environmental impact of medical devices and equipment. The review, conducted according to the PRISMA checklist for scoping reviews, examined 41 studies and categorised them based on the lifecycle stages of medical devices (design and development, manufacturing, usage, and end of life) and the sustainability aspects (economic, environmental, and social) discussed by the authors. The findings suggest that while efforts have been made to enhance economic and environmental sustainability throughout the design, development, and usage of medical devices, there is still room for improvement in mitigating their ecological impact at the end of their lifecycle and maximising their social impact by design.
