This paper shows the necessity of an information exchange system methodology for making more efficient port-hinterland intermodal corridors and how interoperability information systems contribute to this target. Thus, the paper reflects the pilot that is being designed and developed by the Spanish team, involved in the MED project FUTUREMED. The pilot aims the analysis of the current situation port-hinterland in terms of accessibility barriers, information systems used and logistics activities in the corridor. Furthermore, the work needs the compilation of the documentation and operation requirements for every actor involved and also to create a methodology based on these requirements to define an information system model to be finally tested. The result will be an IT operative platform that will enable the information exchange among the corridor actors, which will make feasible the development of a sustainable transport chain and the possibility of being used by others or even being integrated in a transnational transport corridor among the actors involved.

An analysis of floating vehicle data from transport trucks was carried out. The anonymized track points allowed for a range of innovative uses in transport logistics. Firstly, the spread of speed values throughout Europe shows distinct influences on the driving speed. Most of these are rather obvious such as slow-downs in metropolitan areas, mountainous areas, on the last mile before ferries, and others. Secondly, linking the track points to an European road network geography allowed to calculated average speeds for each network link. These speeds can be used to improve the standard network and thus calculate more realistic travel times. Thirdly, when sufficient amounts of data are present, it is also possible to calculate truck speed patterns for one-hour intervals during each day. This will influence travel times depending on the time of day at which a transport trip is carried out.

The use of information technologies in logistic processes leads to higher automation and efficiency. Nevertheless, information of cargo is often incomplete or incorrect. This affects the material handling processes in planning as well as in operation. This paper presents a SmartGate approach, which contains multiple technologies for identification and exploration of goods for enhanced material handling. This includes identification as well as optic and haptic exploration technologies. The idea is to have a system, which gathers all available information of a good by use of non-destructive testing methods. Besides the optic and haptic exploration technologies, a feasible material handling system and the utilization of the gained information for load planning is shown.

Although ICT applications in transport and logistics have gone a long way especially in the past decade, supply chain visibility still remains a challenging issue to be tackled. This is especially important in the case of a Med port-rail-dryport setting, as the FutureMed project testifies. Cooperative action of the supply chain actors involved in such a setting is required to solve the informational and ICT integration problems that still exist. This is the case of FutureMed’s Greek (actually involving Greece and Balkans) pilot, which is currently at its preparatory phase. The present article initiates by placing supply chain visibility within its wider context and proceeds to the description of the Greek pilot aiming at enhancing such visibility by the use of ICT.

In this paper the authors present the global freight business ecosystem of the iCargo Integrated Project, that aims at advancing and extending the use of ICT to decarbonize co-modal logistics by enhancing intermodal transport reliability and optimizing environmental performances. iCargo users represent organizations involved in the provision of door-to-door low-carbon logistic services, covering an entire supply chain or a significant portion of it, producing less than alternatives, making use of the iCargo ecosystem to combine services through different transport modes and providers. The iCargo ecosystem actors are clients, like manufacturers and retailers, logistic services providers, including freight forwarders and carriers for the different transport modes, and providers of support services, ensuring access to physical and information infrastructures. The iCargo ecosystem foresees a common representation of door-to-door services with a decentralized architecture. The distinctive elements of the iCargo infrastructure provide uniform and ubiquitous access to the logistic services of ecosystem members. This increases resources utilization and allows more flexible and dynamic plans.

This paper aims at studying the coordination of risk mitigation by governmental actors, such as customs, and supply chain partners. To do so the concepts of supply chain visibility and data pipeline are briefly revisited. Then the result of a survey, highlighting the risk coordination challenges, carried out with customs and supply chain partners is presented. One of the main challenges identified is that business partners are expected to bear the implementation costs of such systems while the benefits are not clear to them. To highlight the potential operational benefits gained through such systems for business partners, we consider, as an example, counterfeiting risks and study how a coordinated risk management scheme between governmental actors and business partners leads to cost efficiency through the reduction of inspection costs and congestion-induced delay at ports.

The risk management over a supply chain has to be founded on the risk management in each of partner companies in the chain. The business relationship and operations dependence inevitably bind the management control efforts of partner companies together. This proposes challenges for supply chain risk management and at the same time for the BI application. In this paper we analyzed the management control situations where business intelligence technology can be applied and describe the concepts of systematic risk analysis to improve the management controls, based on causal analysis of business exceptions. A “risk template” is provide to assist analysts to fully comprehend the risk scenario in the practical business setting for evaluate and re-design the existing controls for management improvement.

Most of high-tech industries are facing unpredictable demand, short product lifecycles, and globally-spreading logistics. To surmount such a challenging environment, semiconductor industry practices have found the “push-pull strategy”, which is a hybrid approach of make-to-stock and make-to-order, as an effective solution. The position of a “decoupling point”, which is the boundary between make-to-stock and make-to-order, is one of the critical elements that influence a successful implementation of the push-pull strategy. This research addresses this issue by investigating the positioning of a decoupling point in a semiconductor supply chain based on the qualitative framework and simulation analysis. Several guidelines on how the decoupling point should be positioned under demand and lead time uncertainty are presented.

The need for adaptive operational management in manufacturing enterprises, whereby changes in the environment are sensed and acted upon rapidly, has been recognised as a key competency for a modern manufacturing organisation. However, enabling such capability demands new types of ICT. In this paper a multi-agent system is presented. The system has been designed and tested around the needs of an Electronics Manufacturing Services organisation designing and making complex electronics products for home appliance OEMs. A key feature of the system is that agent behaviors are driven by models encompassing sustainability related measures of performance. The system has been tested on actual manufacturing data and a series of scenarios involving unplanned events commonly experienced by the company. Numerical results demonstrate that such an approach is a viable ICT option for enabling adaptive manufacturing, rapidly responding to a series of commonly encountered unplanned events.

Influenced by recent global recession, the business environment and profitability of many firms are getting worse. Therefore, rather than struggling to win power over their supply chain participants and maximize their own goals using such power, many firms need to cooperate with their supply chain members and grow together. Because most competition these days are between supply chains rather than individual companies. This paper analyzes the structural problems of the logistics market through literature review and questionnaire analysis regarding the common practices of transaction between the shippers and logistics service providers and also between large logistics companies and subcontractors. And it studies problems and successes in collaboration between and among such supply chain participants through interviews and case studies. Based on such analyses, the cooperation model between shipper and logistics service provider and between large logistics firms and subcontractors is developed and finally practical guidelines for fair trade are developed.
