RFID holds a large potential for changing how a process is manipulated and controlled. RFID is a valuable improvement in many organizations, whether it is used for monitoring logistics and supply chains, securing access within the facility to locate and validate inventory. Most of the time, the main technical concern with RFID is whether the tags can be read in the environment they are being incorporated in. This paper examines the effect of different factors such as distance from an antenna, tag size, the surface on which tag is placed, tag location & velocity/speed on the readability of the RFID tag. In this paper, we developed an effective model analysis of the factors that affect the readability of the RFID tag using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) & Design of Experiment (DOE) technique. Experiments were conducted and readings were taken to consider the effect of different factors and identify the critical factors that affect the readability, and a redundant regression model was developed using BIC. Design of Experiments (DOE) was used, specifically 2k factorial design and 2(k-1) fractional factorial design to perform statistical analysis and understand the source of variation in the model. The two designs were compared and the best out of the two was chosen to develop a model. Statistical analysis was performed using Minitab software to validate. The developed model intends to read the intensity of the tag with 97% accuracy.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of employees transitioned into virtually distributed supply chain project team environments for the first time in their careers due to shelter-in-place and social distancing mandates that impacted industries around the world. With project managers implementing processes and procedures remotely to employees fielding calls from home while caring for children, the world entered into an unprecedented time and an unknown unknown. As the pandemic required organizations to implement agile practices, project managers within various industries had to adjust operational processes, while at the same time had to ensure project team needs were addressed. In an effort to mitigate the risk of transitioning back to conventional management approaches, a qualitative survey method was performed in this study to understand the supply chain project team member experiences during this transition period. The results of the survey uncovered that the creation of a supply chain uncertainty management plan, demonstrating the benefits of virtual supply chain project teams, and the continuous integration of collaborative technology tools may contribute positive outcomes from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Greta Thunberg highlighted in her speech during the COP 2019 the lack of integrity about the goals of the countries in emission reduction when vessel and aircraft transportation has a great impact over pollution and none of them were addressed, that is the case of multimodal logistics systems in the world wide world. The question is What are Latin-American multimodal Logistics systems doing about it? Latin America has a great model in Pollution reduction and optimization of operations because Panama is working for decades to reduce emissions in the Panama Logistic ecosystem. For example, Panama Canal expansion increased the efficiency of movements in global commerce while reducing the impact of emissions. During the decade of 2010s, the Panama Canal took the risk to expand the canal to a third set of Locks and a new type of vessel arrived, the Neo-Panamax, which increased the capacity per vessel from 8,000 TEUS to 15,000 TEUs. Panama is increasing the awareness about the logistics impact over the emissions, but there are still challenges because of the increment of 87.5% of the load movement into the Logistic hub of Panama, and there is a need to address real-time information about the performance of the Distribution Centers, the ports, and the interaction with the Logistic ecosystem to increase efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Thus, the main objective of this research is to summarize the journey of the Panama Logistic Innovation path that results in a conceptual model of Smart and Sustainable Logistic Ecosystem (SSLE).
Greta Thunberg在2019年缔约方会议期间的讲话中强调,当船舶和飞机运输对污染产生巨大影响时,各国在减排目标方面缺乏完整性,而这些问题都没有得到解决,这就是世界范围内多式联运物流系统的情况。问题是拉丁美洲多式联运物流系统对此做了什么?拉丁美洲在减少污染和优化运营方面有很好的模式,因为巴拿马几十年来一直在努力减少巴拿马物流生态系统的排放。例如,巴拿马运河的扩建提高了全球商业活动的效率,同时减少了排放的影响。在2010年代的十年间,巴拿马运河冒险扩建了第三套船闸,一种新型船舶——新巴拿马型船(Neo-Panamax)抵达,将每艘船的运力从8000标准箱提高到15000标准箱。巴拿马正在提高人们对物流对排放影响的认识,但由于进入巴拿马物流中心的货物增加了87.5%,因此仍然存在挑战,需要解决有关配送中心、港口性能的实时信息,以及与物流生态系统的互动,以提高效率和减少二氧化碳排放。因此,本研究的主要目的是总结巴拿马物流创新路径的历程,从而形成智能和可持续物流生态系统(SSLE)的概念模型。

The topic and focus of the following paper will include the effects of genetically modified crops or GM for short, how they are produced, what they are used for, regulations for GM, pros and cons, the environmental effects of such crops, and the history behind the crops. A genetically modified (GM) crop is a plant with variations in its genes that are modified to have certain traits that the consumer or producer wants it to have. The main reason why breeders prefer genetically modified crops over other approaches is because it allows them to do things that other techniques are not able to do. The advantages of genetically designing crops in farming include: a greater yield in harvests, the decrease expenses for food or medicinal production, decreased need for pesticides, greater quality for supplements and nourishments, an added protection from pests or diseases, and health advantages to the ever-growing population of the world. Although selective breeding has many great advantages, there are some noteworthy disadvantages that are important to consider. An extensive knowledge of the gene, its encoded protein, and the interactions with other genes or protein are required for a successful GM program. This requires a lot of time and money which very few people would have unless funded with additional assistance. Throughout this paper, there will be various topics that will be discussed. This includes the gains and detriments of GM crops, the techniques being used, the various uses of GM crops, the environmental impact of GM crops, and the regulations that are in place for GM crops.

This paper describes a summary of info flows and technology, allowing the supply chain within the automotive industry. The supply base of many motorized manufacturers is being restructured, with great consequence for the way dealers connect with their automotive partners. Electronic data interchange (EDI) is by far the most common communication technique used in automotive manufacturing, though new approaches are used as well. All these methods and how they support the information flows are explained in more detail. Companies attempt to companies are trying to find ways to recover their elasticity and responsiveness and in turn competitiveness by changing their operations plan, methods and skills that include the implementation of Supply Chain Management (SCM) paradigm. Hence, Blockchain can enhance the agility of SCM. However, blockchain's impact on SCM is not equivalent. In this paper, we specify the areas that are blockchain effects on the automotive supply chain and evaluate it.
