This study investigates the effect of environmental knowledge on purchasing intentions in the Egyptian market, the extent to which the so-called green trust moderates this relationship, and the impact of green perceived quality and green satisfaction as mediation variables. We examine the relationship between these variables using data collected via a questionnaire. A total of 810 were collected in the largest cities of Egypt, and the resulting data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results indicate there is no significant relationship between environmental knowledge and green purchase intentions; however, green perceived quality and green customer satisfaction significantly mediate the relationship between environmental knowledge and green purchase intentions. Here, we consider environmental knowledge as an independent variable; future studies could use other variables, such as motivation and green culture, to analyse this relationship.","PeriodicalId":22004,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Forum: An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88278458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to develop and analyse the risk-sharing model to explain the factors contributing to the timely and accurate sharing of risk-related information within the supply chain network. The data are collected from 199 supply chain experts working in different manufacturing companies through a structured questionnaire and then analysed using structural equation modelling. The result of this study reflects that strategic supply chain relationship (SCR) has a significant impact on risk information sharing (RIS) and external information integration (EII) while having an insignificant impact on internal information integration (III). On the other hand, supply chain technology internalisation (SCT) significantly impacts EII, III and risk-sharing mechanism (RSM). This study is one of the few empirical studies conducted to understand the antecedents of risk-sharing mechanisms in any supply chain network to enhance visibility and increase financial performance using the relational and integrational approaches.","PeriodicalId":22004,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Forum: An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85222455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Huisingh","doi":"10.1080/16258312.2023.2165279","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/16258312.2023.2165279","url":null,"abstract":"Blockchain Technology (BCT) was originally envisioned as a networked record database of digital transactions. Though it was introduced to the general public as the driving force behind the development of digital currency, now it is being used in many operations including supply chain (SC) and reverse supply chain (RSC) due to its ability of secured information sharing, improving real-time communication, and trustbuilding among all logistics and supply chain partners (Kazancoglu et al. 2022). Users who have been granted permission to access the system’s database are tasked with the responsibility of confirming supply chain transactions that have taken place with a particular provider. By using this tool, one can accomplish both continuous traceability and decentralised security (Mukherjee, Singh, and Mishra et al. 2021). In this system, every block unit is connected to another, and the system either expands or grows in proportion to the number of people who participate in it (Corea 2019). The rise in popularity of websites that facilitate online commerce, such as Amazon, Alibaba, Ali Express, and eBay, has contributed to an increase in the demand for products throughout the world. This increase in demand has led to an increase in the number of businesses that are competing to meet consumers’ demands. This increased demand is also leading to a rise in the relevance of a practice known as ‘reverse logistics (RL)’, in which things that have been previously purchased are shipped back to their original sellers for a variety of reasons. Despite the fact that this accounts for approximately 30% of the demand (Panigrahi et al. 2018), the administration of returned items provides some problems. Maintaining a record of a product that has been returned for one of two reasons – because it was discovered to be defective or because it is no longer required – requires the use of an RL system. This results in additional expenses (Queiroz and Fosso Wamba 2019), and in this situation, BCT can be used to create an efficient management system that is capable of covering all aspects, including the management of recalled goods as well as their placement back in the inventory of the product or of their resale, repair, recycling, remanufacturing, repurposing, warranty, or disposal (Saberi et al. 2019). The application of BCT in RL makes it possible to control risks and, in particular, to consolidate the data emerging from internet of things (IoT) sensors (Hrouga, Sbihi, and Chavallard 2022). Additionally, it offers improved visibility and transparency by removing the trust disadvantages that exist in RL. Because of advancements in information and communication technology, massive volumes of data are being produced and disseminated. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the number of devices that are connected to the internet. It is possible for this to be of assistance to businesses in the process of reorganising their supply chain networks to make those networks more","PeriodicalId":22004,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Forum: An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78161767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conceptual model developed in this study, as well as its implementation, considers the uncertainty. A discrete event simulation is used to evaluate the horizontal collaboration with three main performance indicators: the rate of blood shortages, the rate of outdated blood bags, and the total profits. Two blood transfusion units (BTUs) in Indonesia are examined as case studies in this research. Based on data from the two case studies in one year, a set of experiments, results, and sensitivity analyses were conducted to test the benefits of horizontal collaboration. The results show that the horizontal collaboration decreases blood shortages, outdated blood bags, and inventory costs and increases the total profits. The total revenues increased, and there was additional income from selling blood bags to partner collaboration.","PeriodicalId":22004,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Forum: An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89121924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research identifies the impacts of AM on the supply chain when compared to the case of conventional manufacturing. Through an empirical investigation conducted with 51 multinational companies in the manufacturing sector, the impacts of AM are analysed by focusing on post-processing operations, lead times, cost implications, flow management strategies and maintenance. The empirical investigation reveals two major benefits of AM, namely: the ability to produce complex parts in low volumes and good design and the prototyping capability. However, the empirical results are mixed for some other impacts of AM. In fact, although many experts agreed on the general benefits of AM, a significant number did not see much difference from the conventional manufacturing. We also provide empirical evidence that, under AM, maintenance complexity and duration do not reduce as opposite to what is reported in the literature, which might be due to the novelty of AM technology and the complexity of the machines themselves. Moreover, our findings reveal that a reduction of suppliers, a reduced need for huge stockpiles and a reduced need for transportations which are often acknowledged as advantages of AM are not confirmed.","PeriodicalId":22004,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Forum: An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87931853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, to extend the existing literature, the study has relevance. Based on a systematic literature review, Best Worst Method (BWM) is used for determining the most critical BCT implementation barriers affecting WEEE. This study identifies the IoT-enabled BCT implementation issues in closed-loop WEEE management. This study examines the appropriate issues in the context of developing a legislative support system, ineffective database management, low understanding of cognitive technologies, and information security and privacy are the key concerns for BCT implementation in closed-loop supply chains.

Research into CL stems from the premise that consumers’ logistics activities resemble those of businesses closely. With consumers’ increasingly active logistics role in acquiring goods or services, transporting, and storing goods, but also disposing or getting rid of them, this field is receiving growing attention. However, there is no general view or synthesis of this fragmented field, located at the interface of different disciplines. With the objective of investigating current knowledge, we conducted a systematic literature review that analyzes 155 articles on CL spanning the last 32 years (1990–2022). Based on an analysis of the research themes, the article summarises and maps CL research, highlighting five areas of interest: 1) consumers’ choice of physical channel, 2) consumer transportation, 3) consumer storage, 4) systemic consumer logistics and 5) consumer outbound logistics. The article provides the first interdisciplinary synthesis of the fragmented CL literature and concludes with some suggestions to stimulate more systemic and sustainable CL research in the future.","PeriodicalId":22004,"journal":{"name":"Supply Chain Forum: An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76988613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To what extent do social media contribute to KS within the internal SC functions in a cultural context where informalization is preferred? The article relies on a case study conducted in a manufacturing company in China where ERP implementation failure allowed two social media (WeChat and DingTalk) to play a growing role in the KS within the internal SC. The case study analysis follows the knowledge-based view dimensions: transferability, capacity for aggregation, and appropriability.
