The purpose of this conceptual study is to introduce a generic crowdsourcing model and apply it to an organization’s holistic innovation management. Organizations are in innovation competition and they need to manage innovations holistically and provide innovations that have a demand in the market. Earlier empirical studies have indicated the effectiveness of crowdsourcing in producing innovations. Crowdsourcing and its utilization in innovation-related management areas exist; however, a holistic approach to innovation management and crowdsourcing has not been presented. This article fills the research gap, providing a theoretical model based on earlier empirical research. The conceptual model was broadly verified in six case study organizations which indicate the conceptual model’s usefulness in practice. Organizations may utilize crowdsourcing in several ways to provide innovations with customer-based values.

The problem of reducing production costs is one of the operational goals and strategies for most manufacturing companies. In real-world production systems, because of process deterioration or other factors, the production of defective items is inevitable. Sometimes in a practical production environment, we can rework and repair imperfect items and production inventory costs are reduced as a result. Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) is an inventory management policy with continuous replenishment in which the vendor is responsible for the buyer’s inventory management. In this paper an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with imperfect reworking of unhealthy quality items produced is discussed. The overall costs of these inventory systems before and after implementing VMI are calculated. At the end, numerical examples are provided and sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the effects of cost parameters on the optimal lot size, the shortage and the total cost. The results illustrate the cost reduction after implementing the VMI policy.

Culture, governance and procurement remain under-researched in current academic literature within a smart city transportation context, with evidence suggesting that procurement is a much needed aspect of bringing about change at local government level. This paper showcases the research based upon the “Network Northamptonshire” total transport project, bringing together elements of peer-reviewed research that purport success in the delivery of the smart city concept, allied to identifying gaps in the literature relating to best-in-class business practice to develop a theoretical framework “total transport smart city procurement”. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that there is a disconnect between the ideals of the smart city and actual development needs, with the authors supporting the need for further research in the area of smart cities’ connection to culture, governance and procurement through the proposed framework in order to convey the wider European smart city concept and continue the sharing of best practice to bring about economic and socially connected conurbations.

Dear reader, since the start of the International Journal of Advanced Logistics now 4 years ago the domain of logistics has changed profoundly. Online retailers experience growth rates of 20% or more year after year. The success of online shops has triggered the drive towards highly automated warehouses, new overnight delivery service concepts, etc. Web2.0 made it easier than ever to route goods through a network of transporters. Such networks need other optimization algorithms. The availability of global positioning solutions such as GPS, Galileo and Glonas have made logistics a real-time process with actors along the supply chain that know the location of each item of a shipment at any time, opening options for many innovative logistics services. Connected Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) that use IEEE 802.11p, 4G and other wireless network technologies start to find their way to the market. C-ITS vehicle to infrastructure communication gives, as an example, transport trucks and cars the ability to synchronize their speed with road priority lights and save fuel, making road transport more efficient. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication can, as another example, warn for vehicles that approach a road crossing or create a safety hazard and reduce road incidents to a minimum. Infrastructure communication, including harbor and airport communication, makes it possible to better synchronize multimodal transport modes. Autonomous cars and trucks and emerging Smart City transportation solutions hold the promise to transform a city into a smart hub with autonomous vehicles moving goods and people in the city. Drones and multirotor copters add new modes of transportation that have captured the interest of larger distribution networks, and when successful will transform logistics again. All these technological developments hold the promise to extend the city with moving autonomous vehicles that will do doorstep delivery and transform the sky to a gigantic warehouse with autonomous aircrafts moving goods around the globe. Progress in battery technology and high-capacity super capacitors can make transport more energy-efficient and city-friendly. Continuous progress in high-speed train technology will make railway transport more attractive again and competitive with air transport. These and many other disruptive technologies can be seen by some as uncomfortable and a threat for their business model, but it also creates opportunities for those organizations that recognize them in time and for new actors in the domain. In this exciting era for logistics the ambition of this Journal is to give priority to researchers that publish their progress beyond the state of the art in advanced logistics and to help professionals in the sector to recognize these developments and to make the right choices when rolling out advanced logistics solutions.

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are predicted to have a big impact on the logistics industry. However, currently, IoT is characterized by a diversity of standards and protocols. To make different IoT sensors and other devices interoperate, IoT Brokers are employed to facilitate decoupling of communicating IoT devices using the publish–subscribe communication approach. This paper proposes how such IoT Brokers can be introduced in logistics environments and discusses issues of trust and security that arise in IoT for logistics contexts.

With increasing international trade and growing emphasis on security and efficiency, enhanced information and data-sharing between different stakeholders in global supply chains is required. Currently, data quality is not only problematic for traders, but also for various government agencies that are involved in border control, such as customs authorities, food and health inspection agencies, or border force. We adapt principles from the value cycle modelling in accounting, and show how these principles enabled by ICT can be extended to supply chain management to ensure quality of data reported to customs. We then describe a typical application scenario based on a real but anonymized case, to show that value cycle monitoring can be applied (feasibility), and if applied, what the expected benefits are (usefulness).

To meet the challenges for more sustainable, effective and efficient transport services in global logistics, a new IT-paradigm is needed to harvest the opportunities that capabilities for situation awareness and real-time chain composition provide. The iCargo project provides such an advanced, highly distributed, IT infrastructure with, as fundamental features:• a highly distributed “system-of-systems” implementation with a minimum of centralized functionality, referred to as the “Hybrid Services Network” (HSN);• virtualization of the IT infrastructure (HSN) to shield the user from the complexities of the highly distributed implementation through the use of “access points”;• seamless interoperability by means of semantic technology deployed through semantic gateways. This paper elaborates these aspects of an interorganizational IT infrastructure for logistics. Additionally, the migration towards this innovative and advanced infrastructure is addressed.

Supply visibility is a prerequisite for increased capacity utilization, avoiding unnecessary bottlenecks, supply chain resilience, and compliance. Capacity utilization is both on the level of transport means such as trucks, trains, and barges, as well the optimal usage of the underlying infrastructure. Hubs like terminals, railway stations, locks in inland waterways, and warehouses, have to accommodate a potential large number of transport means and cargo thus increasing turnaround times and delays. Utilizing infrastructure, capacity, distribution, and movement data in planning is commonly denominated as synchromodal planning. Supply chain resilience implies predictive actions on handling exceptions like accidents and (major) incidents. Compliance implies timely access to data to assess potential risks and take corrective measures. In such a complex environment, data sharing has to be configured dynamically. Semantics is a prerequisite to address these issues. It requires the support of an infrastructure. To enable, to increase, and to improve the level of cooperation between enterprises, the ability to share data between organizations is crucial. Ontologies can lower the semantic barriers between organizations and enable IT infrastructures to support new business relations faster at lower cost.

This case study explores how the supply chain’s sustainable performance differs if there are two production plants instead of one. Short introductions to theories and previous studies about food supply chains, sustainability and supply chain performance are given. The sustainable performance of the case study is analysed with the SCOR-based food supply chain sustainable performance model. Results show that two plants are, for example, more carbon- and cost-effective than is one plant. As a conclusion, individual measures of environmental or economic performance are not enough when optimizing supply chain sustainable performance. Individual measures can be used in partial optimization. This case study gives applicable information about the effects of the plant location decision on sustainability performance measured with a carbon footprint.

The transport sector has relevant impacts on economic and social aspects in the European Union. Freight transportation had an increasing role in this context with road transport that covers 45% of the total billion ton-kilometres in 2012. Cooperative intelligent transport systems (ITS) are promising solutions to adopt in order to increase the efficiency and reduce the environmental impacts of freight road transportation. In recent years, the European Community has founded several projects concerning C-ITS applications in freight transportation. A valuable evaluation of their impacts represents a new challenge. The current paper overviews the impact assessment methodologies applied in recent founded projects with the aim of defining an evaluation framework for the ongoing 7th Framework Program project “COoperative loGISTICS for sustainable mobility of goods (CO-GISTICS)”. Moreover, a complete case study of the Priority and Speed Advice service is detailed, highlighting both qualitative and quantitative aspects.
