  2. 11. Supply network configuration for small-series apparel production in high-cost contexts : Opportunities and challenges from selected EU countries

    Author : Sara Harper; Rudrajeet Pal; Vijay Kumar; Liz Barnes; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; high-cost contexts; customization; supply network configuration; priorities; challenges; paradox theory; högkostnadssammanhang; kundanpassning; konfiguration av försörjningsnätverk; prioriteringar; utmaningar; paradoxteori; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

    Abstract : In high-cost textile and apparel industry contexts, local and small-series production models (demand-driven/on-demand) are increasingly relevant due to various pressures, including global risks, and demands to reduce overproduction for profitability and environmental sustainability. However, understanding how such reconfigurations impact supply chains more broadly, and what are the associated implementation challenges, is required. READ MORE

  4. 12. Improving physical flows in biomass-to-energy supply chains by means of pre-treatment technology and coordination

    Author : Martin Svanberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pre-treatment technology; torrefaction and coordination; supply chain; biomass-to-energy; physical flow; logistics;

    Abstract : AbstractThe transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources such as biomass-to-energy (B2E) is an environmentally sustainable pathway. However, increased use of biomass is hampered by the high costs of logistics activities within the physical flow. READ MORE

  5. 13. Heuristic Mathematical Programming Methods for Lot-sizing, Inventory Control, and Distribution Cost Estimation in the Supply Chain

  6. 14. Integration of logistics network in local food supply chains

    Author : Techane Bosona; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The demand for locally produced food is increasing as global food supply system has considerably affected the confidence of consumers by increasing tonne-kilometres, food safety risk, environmental impact, and disconnecting local food producers and consumers. However, local food suppliers are not in the position to compete with large scale food supply systems due to high logistics costs. READ MORE
