Material handling systems (MHS) include a wide range of systems and equipment that are used for handling, movement, storage and control of materials during manufacturing. MHS can represent a significant portion of the cost to make a product and there can be significant cost savings in manufacturing processes if unexpected failures of such systems can be avoided and maintenance costs lowered. This paper first surveys the common maintenance practices of MHS including three typical warehouse MHS e.g. automatic picking system (APS), goods to destination (GDS), and Erector. The survey from end users shows that the majority of the companies does not keep the record of their past failures or improve their maintenance practices after major failures occur. Even the end users with more advanced maintenance programs use more reactive maintenance approaches, as opposed to preventive maintenance approaches which have the potential to lower the chances of unexpected failures and costly repairs. The present paper also reviews the past works in predictive monitoring of MHS categorized as machine level, component level, and production level. Although there has not been a large body of research published around this topic, the existing works demonstrate the suitability of applying Prognostics and Health Management techniques for improving the reliability of such machines and reducing their downtime. The opportunity for MHS to move towards a condition-based maintenance approach is still a few years away, and many end-users of this equipment would have to first adopt a good preventive and reliably centered maintenance philosophy. Once that occurs, the OEM’s would be the most likely candidates for further developing and implementing the research work and methods for MHS predictive monitoring.

Analytical newsvendor models assume that order decision makers can place optimal orders to maximize profit, but many of their actual decisions are apart from the optimal quantity. Many scholars in operations management have presumed that the problem might occur in the middle of decision-making process and they attempted to verify the cognitive concept, heuristics. Consequently, three typical behaviors by heuristics were discovered: (1) mean anchoring (2) demand chasing, and (3) gambler fallacy. The purpose of this study is to testify how performance is influenced by the combination of diverse or same decision maker’s heuristics in a supply chain, then to verify the finest combination for the highest profit. This study suggests theoretical background of the heuristics, and simulated results from previous empirical evidences reflect which heuristics is hazardous. In addition, it recommends the suitable heuristics relying on various environments around the decision maker.

This paper gives a case of research and development project of logistics equipment system, which is funded by the government to promote the competitiveness of logistics companies. In order to reduce loading time in storage facilities and distribution centers in Korea, we designed and developed automatic cargo batch loading and unloading systems. We proposed a systems engineering process, a series of requirements analysis, system design, feasibility analysis and implementation. In addition, we suggest an integrated operation system for the management of the system and the interface with the legacy information systems. A process in this paper could be a reference of other development projects of logistics equipment and related systems.

Road transport is a major contributor to CO2 emission and considerable research has been done to reduce the emission through planning efficient vehicle routing since it became a concern for the environment. This paper provides a brief review of solution approaches used in green vehicle routing problems (G-VRP). Since the G-VRP has received recent attention and there are a couple of review papers that address, in general, a summary of the G-VRP, this paper will focus on solution approaches for papers related to G-VRP which were published after 2000.

Porter’s value chain consists of operations which are required to provide a product or service to the customer. Customers, possible customers, and other individuals can be a part of Porter’s value chain in several ways. Crowdsourcing is a task taking place inside or outside the normal organizational setup in an undefined crowd. This paper introduces the application of crowdsourcing to Porter’s value chain which consists of primary and support activities. The research is a multi-case study and includes 18 organizations from a wide range of industry sectors. The organizations are micro, small, medium, and large size corporations.

Green supply chain management (GSCM) involves, among other things, managing the manufacture and distribution of environmentally friendly goods in ways to avoid waste and with minimal impact on the environment. Many firms have incorporated green initiatives into their operations as a strategy to achieve a competitive advantage. While prior research focuses on back-end business performance outcomes on using GSCM, this study seeks to examine front-end GSCM implementation approaches. Specifically looking at how a marketing orientation might impact the successful implementation of GSCM practices. The results of the study show that focusing on market-oriented knowledge about customers and competitors is positively related to financial performance and environmental performance. Firms will benefit by using a marketing orientation to guide the design and development of GSCMs.

The purpose of the paper is to develop the model by using the predicted value of creep response based on the regression methodologies that can be effectively used to reduce the test time required to put the stiffness test for the plastic pallets. In order to develop the best model, we examine a wide variety of regression techniques including the OLS (ordinary least squares), the WLS (weighted least squares), the Newey-West robust estimator, and the SUR (seemingly unrelated regression). The new protocol is assessed to remarkably enhance the test productivity by decreasing the standard bending test time by 77% from 26 to 6 h. It is shown that the deflection process under load is best described as a linear model regressing deflections on the natural logarithm of test duration. The model is statistically validated against the various estimation techniques and sample. We demonstrate how the forecasted deflections at a specific time point are statistically tested for a certain performance standard limit. From a standpoint of the parsimony and practical significance, we claim the OLS estimation of a simple regression model is a reasonable choice for the shortened stiffness tests of pallets.

In this paper, we propose a method for supporting the process of designing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services, which utilizes on primarily functional synergies with already existing services. Using synergies between services will enable sharing of resources, such as, information entities, functions and technical resources, which in turn may lead to reduced costs for implementing services. The method is built around an existing service description framework, which is used to describe both existing services and the service to be designed. In order to illustrate the usage of the suggested method, we have applied it for designing a new ITS service, i.e., the Liability Intelligent Transport System (LITS) service. The purpose of the LITS service is to support the process of identifying when, where and why freight has been damaged, and which actor was responsible when the freight was damaged. The LITS service may lead to better quality control of consignments and may also facilitate the identification of which actor was responsible for the freight damage, which is of particular interest in multi-modal transport. By applying our service design method we were able to identify that three out of four functions of the LITS service already exist in other existing ITS services. Therefore, the LITS service can be designed based on synergies with these services.
