In 2003, ITC responded to the high level of obsolete inventory by shifting risk from finished products to manufacturing and raw materials. This required that their supply chain be much more flexible and responsive than it was in the past. By 2006, changes in the supply chain that included moving manufacturing in-house improved flexibility and responsiveness. Obsolete inventory was significantly reduced and the company was much better at matching supply and demand. Cost, however, continued to be higher than that at third parties. The company had to decide on the appropriate tradeoff between cost and responsiveness when structuring its supply chain.The case illustrates how Wills has changed its supply chain to become more flexible and responsive. This change, however, has come at a cost. The case requires the students to analyze the tradeoff between cost and responsiveness/flexibility to decide on an appropriate level of flexibility/responsiveness. The case also requires the student to understand the relative value of increased flexibility versus increased responsiveness.

The current high world sugar prices reflect a major imbalance between global supply and demand, which has reduced stocks to very low levels. Although it remains to be seen whether prices will rise much above current values, it is clear that the supply chain will remain stretched throughout 2010 and this will help to maintain prices at a high level.

Malang is one of the cities that supports the creation of a competitive creative economy. There are a number of industrial clusters spread throughout the Malang area, one of which is the Sanitair cluster. Industry security in Malang was very high before the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decline in the economy and in activity in the creative economy sector in Malang, including in the Sanitair industry cluster. The economic shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic gradually subsided as the stability of the domestic financial market and economic sectors stretched. However, the supply and demand sides of the industry were both hit, so recovery efforts still need more time. The spread of the virus also has not shown signs of ending along with the increasing trend of cases and confirmed deaths. The demand for various social and economic activities is getting stronger, marked by loosening of physical distancing in many areas. On the other hand, the existing public health infrastructure is still inadequate. So, there is a high risk to moving back the various wheels of social and economic activity in the Sanitair industry cluster in Malang. COVID-19 affected the supply chain of the SME industry, including the absorption of products, the availability of raw materials, suppliers and the distribution process of the Sanitair industry.

A new approach that has dominated the production operations management field in recent years is supply chain management. A supply chain includes all the facilities, tasks and activities involved in manufacturing a product from suppliers to customers. Its various elements are planning, supply and demand management, procurement of raw materials, production scheduling, distribution and delivery of products to the customer. Special structures in the supply chain have been less studied in previous research. In this paper, the supply chain and its performance evaluation are examined in the presence of non-discretionary, undesirable and negative data. For this purpose, another model of the network DEA is presented which evaluates performance of the chain in the presence of non-discretionary inputs and outputs, undesirable outputs and negative outputs even in its internal structure. The efficiency of the chain stages is also calculated using a dual model. Subsequently, 42 cement companies listed on the Tehran stock exchange were evaluated, each of which has a chain of four stages including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and customers. Based on the implementation of the model, six companies were found to be efficient and the rest were introduced as inefficient. Moreover, 25 cement companies in the Supplier sector, 18 companies in the manufacturing sector, seven companies in the distribution sector and finally 17 companies in the customer service sector were found to be efficient.

The supply chain is a major issue in a global market. The efficient relationship between supplier-producer-retailer conforms the perfect combination to achieve a high level of competitiveness according to the needs of increasingly demanding and changing markets. The difficulty of synchronizing the members within the SC is related to the inherent uncertain factors. This paper proposes a methodology for integrating the supply chain that can be applied in any type of business. To demonstrate its relevance, a case study is performed at a handmade shoe company. An improved demand forecasting, an optimal balanced production line, a proper inventory management of raw materials, and an efficient calculation of the delivery time to the customer represent some of the main results.

The issues related to the development of adequate network models of the processes of creating, deploying and supporting the functioning of the full logistics supply chain of dried fruit (SCDF) in Ukraine are considered. It is shown that the creation and operation of the SCDF, compared to other SCM class systems, raises a number of specific problems caused by the complexity of the interaction of raw material suppliers (fresh fruit), manufacturers of final products (drying, packaging), storage terminals, distributors, 3PL and 4PL providers (retailers). These problems are due to the fact that the interaction of participants in business processes in the SCDF generates a lot of material, financial and information flows, as well as flows of services from sources of raw materials to the final consumer. The variety of world regions from which dried fruit is delivered to Ukraine, a wide range of products supplied, yield, currency fluctuations, seasonality are the causes of a high level of uncertainty in the processes of formation and decision-making by the SCDF participants. The urgency of the problem is substantiated, the essence of which is to develop a temporal component in the network model of the SCDF, which adequately reflects in time the logistic processes that take place during the operation of the supply chain. A model of a full SCDF in the form of a two-level nested Petri net (NPN) is considered. At the same time, the network model of SCDF functioning in the form of a NPN includes two types of objects - the central link reflecting the activity of the focusing company on processing raw materials (dried fruits), and a number of subnets that simulate the activity of suppliers of raw materials and distributors of finished products. It is indicated that to predict the consequences of the current (or some predetermined) situation and to respond to inquiries about the future state of elements of the SCDF, a predictive model can be used that explicitly takes into account time dependencies. In this case, requests can be about the time of occurrence of certain events, and the fact that certain circumstances are present at a certain point in time. A method is described for extending the network model of the SCDF to comply with the 'just-in-time' principle when modeling business processes that take place supply chain.

In the past 40 years, the franchising system has undergone a remarkable expansion, increasingly retaining the attention of economy and service management researchers. A recurring question relates to the sources of competitive advantage that a franchise network may have. This chapter intends to contribute to the debate based on the fundamentals of the resource/competence-based view, and applying the reflection to the case of the logistical service. The aim is to identify how and why supply chain resources and skills are deployed by franchisors to retain their franchisees thanks to a high level of service quality and therefore avoid the termination of contractual relationships. Based on a case study driven within a European franchise network, it is possible to conclude that the supply chain resources and competences of a franchisor play an important role in the duration of the franchisor-franchisee relationship when customized solutions are proposed thanks to information technologies.

The trend of consuming herbal medicines has been increasing over the past three decades. No less than 80% of the world's population has used herbal medicines as a treatment. One of the problems in herbal medicine is the high level of microbial contamination caused by raw materials and production processes. Various attempts have been made to overcome these problems, one of them is the gamma irradiation method. Although irradiation has been widely used for food sterilization, the use of irradiation for sterilization on herbal medicines is still debated. It is because irradiation may affect the composition of active compounds of herbal medicines. This review aimed to discuss the applications of gamma irradiation for herbal medicines by emphasizing the chemical constituent stabilities of herbal medicines.

Pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga masih menjadi salah satu masalah serius yang terjadi di kota besar. Pertambahan jumlah penduduk setiap tahunnya akan mempengaruhi volume, jenis dan karakteristik sampah yang dihasilkan setiap harinya. Dari hasil penelitian lapangan yang dilakukan di Kecamatan Semarang Tengah pada Tahun 2017 menunjukkan bahwa sampah yang dihasilkan mencapai hampir 0,98 kg  per orang setiap harinya. Adapun sampah yang dihasilkan terdiri dari  77,5 % sampah organik, 13,5 % sampah plastik, 5,5 % sampah kardus dan kertas, 2,2 %  logam / kaleng dan sisanya adalah kaca dan lainnya. Dari komposisi tersebut, sampah plastik merupakan sampah non organik yang memiliki prosentase tertinggi.  Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah pelaku dalam rantai pasok pengelolaan sampah plastik. Dari subjek penelitian juga didapatkan faktor internal dan eksternal yang akan digunakan untuk menganalisis  kekuatan (strengths), kelemahan (weaknesses), peluang (opportunities), dan ancaman (threats) dalam meningkatkan dan menjaga keberlanjutan pengelolaan sampah plastik di Kecamatan Semarang Tengah.  Suatu sistem penyediaan bahan baku, proses produksi hingga proses pemasaran sampai ke tangan konsumen, dibutuhkan dukungan teknologi baik berupa aplikasi sederhana yang memberikan informasi tentang ketersediaan jenis dan jumlah bahan baku yang terupdate, sehingga dapat mempersingkat waktu produksi. Selain itu juga perlu dukungan sistem informasi untuk membantu pemasaran produk daur ulang, sehingga jangkauan pengguna / konsumen akan lebih banyak dan lebih luas. Keberadaan teknologi informasi memegang peranan penting sebagai media untuk mempercepat terpenuhinya supply dan demand serta menjamin keberlangsungan dan keberlanjutan usaha.STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN PLASTIC WASTE PROCESSING  ABSTRACT Household waste management is still one of the serious problems that occur in big cities. The increase of population each year will affect the volume, type and characteristics of waste produced every day. From the results of field research conducted in the District of Central Semarang in 2017 showed that the waste generated reached almost 0.98 kg per person every day. The waste generated consists of 77.5% organic waste, 13.5% plastic waste, 5.5% cardboard and paper waste, 2.2% metal / can and the rest is glass and others. From the results showed that plastic waste is non-organic waste which has the highest percentage. The subjects in this study were actors in the supply chain of plastic waste management.  The research subjects also obtained internal and external factors that will be used to analyze strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in improving and maintaining the sustainability of plastic waste management in Central Semarang District. A system of supplying raw materials, the production process to the marketing process up to the hands of consumers, technology support is needed in the form of a simple application that provides information about the availability of types and quantities of updated raw materials, so as to shorten the production time. It also needs the support of information systems to help marketing recycled products, so that the coverage area of users / consumers will be more and wider. The existence of information technology plays an important role as a medium to accelerate the fulfillment of supply and demand and to ensure the sustainability of the business.

Instant Noodle

This paper develops a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) model for a multiple-vendor, single-manufacturer supply chain, in which the first stage members can be traders and/or producers and the second stage member is a manufacturer. The model utilizes a realistic transportation cost which is dependent on the sizes (small- or medium-sized) of trucks. It can determine suitable sizes and numbers of trucks that minimize the transportation cost. A genetic algorithm (GA) technique, implemented in MATLAB software, is used to determine the best solution to the problem. A case study in the instant noodle industry is conducted to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed model. Based on the experimental results, the VMI model has reasonable behaviors using sensitivity analysis. To reduce the inventory level of raw materials, the penalty cost may be set at a relatively high level or the upper inventory limits may be set at relatively low levels, without significantly affecting the average total cost per period of the entire supply chain. When the vendors are allowed to make decision independently, the solution is still the same as the solution from the proposed VMI model, which means that the manufacture does not take advantage of the vendors.
