Paper aims: The aim was to adapt and apply a SERVQUAL scale to measure the perceived service quality of an e-learning platform provided by the United Nations for Environment Programme (UNEP) focused on sustainability issues. Originality: There is a scarce number of publications using the SERVQUAL for digital services evaluation. This study contributes to filling this gap, generating new insights for the service quality literature by proposing an adaptation of the SERVQUAL scale for online sustainability courses. Research method: The SERVQUAL was carried out with undergraduate and post-graduate students enrolled at a Brazilian higher education institution. A set of 21 questions was set up to evaluate the perceived service quality of the students before/after finishing the online course “Introduction to Life Cycle Thinking (LCT)” provided by UNEP. Main findings: The results showed that the most important features were related to the empathy, assurance and tangibility quality dimensions with emphasis on the high quality of addressing the user doubts and the audio and video resources that helped students in the learning process. In conclusion, the perceived quality was higher than the expectations for many of the SERVQUAL dimensions. Implications for theory and practice: Finally, the step-by-step methodological approach used by this paper should be adopted by other e-learning platforms to investigate quality and service management aspects. Empathy, assurance and tangibility may be seen as key components in the service quality management of e-learning platforms.
论文目的:目的是调整和应用SERVQUAL量表来衡量联合国环境规划署(环境署)提供的以可持续性问题为重点的电子学习平台的感知服务质量。原创性:使用SERVQUAL进行数字服务评估的出版物数量很少。本研究有助于填补这一空白,通过提出对在线可持续发展课程的SERVQUAL量表的改编,为服务质量文献提供了新的见解。研究方法:SERVQUAL在巴西一所高等教育机构的本科生和研究生中进行。在完成环境署提供的“生命周期思维导论”在线课程之前/之后,设置了一套21个问题来评估学生对服务质量的感知。主要发现:研究结果显示,在共情、保证和有形质量维度中,最重要的特征是解决用户疑虑的高质量和在学习过程中对学生有帮助的音视频资源。总之,感知到的质量高于SERVQUAL许多方面的预期。对理论和实践的启示:最后,本文所采用的循序渐进的方法应该被其他电子学习平台采用,以研究质量和服务管理方面的问题。移情、保证和有形可被视为电子学习平台服务质量管理的关键组成部分。

Paper aims: This work aims to develop a systematized approach for the reduction of medical appointment waiting lists, proposing an optimization decision-making model followed by continuous people engagement towards a systematic approach for waiting list problem-solving. Originality: There are several studies related to waiting lists in healthcare contexts, however, the present study presents an innovative approach for waiting list problem-solving by proposing prescriptive decision-making models followed by continuous improvement and people engagement. Research method: A research approach with the following phases was developed: system analysis, problem quantification, and development of an optimization model. After these phases, the model was applied, and the results were analysed, as contributions to a systematized model. Main findings: The model was applied to the screening waiting list for orthopaedics appointments followed by the fundamental involvement of medical doctors, which made it possible to implement the optimal solution generated by the model, resulting in a reduction of 90% by 56 days in waiting time for the screening process. Implications for theory and practice: This model contributes for theory and for practice as a way to deal with different scenarios for waiting list reduction in the upcoming days during and after the pandemic.

Paper aims: Investigate whether the results of time series models can be adjusted with the AHP method towards a more assertive forecast. Originality: Considering demand forecasting as a complex decision-making situation, this research investigated the use of the AHP as a complement to traditional forecasting methods. Research method: This applied research employed, as main procedures, literature review and mathematical modeling. Main findings: Two models were proposed that presented satisfactory results: model I reduced the forecast error by 16% in January, 25% in February, 37% in March, 3% in April, and 7% in May; model II reduced it by 17% in January, 21% in February, 29% in March, 2% in April, and 5% in May. Implications for theory and practice: We conclude that the AHP has the potential to correct the results of time series in the textile industry by allowing the incorporation of quantitative and qualitative variables.

Paper aims: The aim is to develop a vaccine distribution routing model (VDRM) in order to support governments to mitigate the pandemic caused by COVID-19. Originality: As far as we know, no metaheuristics has been developed for vaccine distribution, and specifically, to support the Brazilian government. Research method: A metaheuristic is developed based on the combination and adaptation of GRASP (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure) with VND (Variable Neighborhood Descent), considering different refinement operators. Finally, as a way of validating the model, a numerical application in the state of Pernambuco (Brazil) was performed. Main findings: Metaheuristic proved to be effective for developing adequate planning for the allocation of ampoules with vaccines to combat COVID-19. Effective analysis was obtained in the evaluation of the proposed algorithm, both in terms of computational effort and the quality of the final solution. An efficiency of approximately 75% was obtained in relation to the current distribution procedure adopted by the state of Pernambuco. Implications for theory and practice: To mitigate disease, adequate logistics for transporting and distributing vaccines is essential, especially in emergency situations to face pandemic crises. Thus, the developed metaheuristic can support governments and companies in any situation demanded, making the decision of how the distribution of the ampoules will be more agile. © 2021.

Abstract Paper aims This article aims to analyze the activities that generate logistics costs in the process of importing a containerized cargo transported through a port terminal. Originality The scientific literature states that logistical costs are one of the main factors to be mitigated to improve the country's position in the global competitive scenario. The applied methodology offers a conceptual contribution to the area of supply chain, logistics and costs. Research method In this regard, it was necessary to map the process of importing the granite prime cargo, identify the agents involved in the process, survey the activities, and segregate which activities generate logistical costs. Data collection was carried out through the application of semi-structured interviews. Towards the end of each interview and observation, a compilation and data crossing along with the documentary analysis were performed. Then, the logistical costs were segregated by the following types: Supply, Plant, and Distribution. Main findings The article proves to be especially important due to the complex nature of the import process in the country, which involves many independent agents who need to communicate to lead the process. Through the information collected in the interviews with employees involved in the process of importing cargo and document analysis, it was possible to map the process, adding it with the systematic review of the literature realized on activities classified as generating logistical costs, it was possible to segregate them. Implications for theory and practice In this context, so it was possible to carry out the analysis of activities generating logistical costs. Properly mapping and analyzing the logistical cost-generating activities involved serves as a basis for decision-making by the agents involved in the various points of the cargo import process, since dealing directly with port terminals and agents responsible for import operations, it is possible to understand the causes of port inefficiency at the operational level.
本文旨在分析通过港口码头运输的集装箱货物进口过程中产生物流成本的活动。科学文献指出,为了提高国家在全球竞争中的地位,物流成本是需要减轻的主要因素之一。应用的方法为供应链、物流和成本领域提供了概念上的贡献。研究方法在这方面,有必要绘制进口花岗岩主要货物的过程图,确定参与该过程的代理人,调查活动,并区分哪些活动产生物流成本。数据收集是通过半结构化访谈的应用进行的。在每次访谈和观察结束时,进行汇编和数据交叉以及文献分析。然后,物流成本按以下类型分开:供应,工厂和分销。由于这个国家进口过程的复杂性,这篇文章被证明是特别重要的,这涉及到许多独立的代理人,他们需要沟通来领导这个过程。通过与参与进口货物和文件分析过程的员工面谈中收集的信息,可以绘制过程,并将其与对分类为产生物流成本的活动所实现的文献的系统审查相结合,可以将它们隔离开来。对理论和实践的影响在这方面,因此有可能对产生后勤费用的活动进行分析。适当地绘制和分析所涉及的产生物流成本的活动是参与货物进口过程各环节的代理人作出决策的基础,因为直接与港口码头和负责进口业务的代理人打交道,可以在业务一级了解港口效率低下的原因。

Abstract Paper aims This study evaluates agricultural and forest residues in Portugal to select the best candidates to use in second generation bioethanol (2G bioethanol) production. Originality The growth in the significance and level of decisions in biomass resources to 2G bioethanol and the involved complexity clearly encourage a research strategy to identify and select the wastes according to a multiplicity of criteria. Research method To address the key research objective this research used a multicriteria decision analysis method, MACBETH, to structuring the values of concern and identifying the key criteria, to evaluating the main agricultural and forest waste with respect to each criterion, to weighting the criteria and analyzing the biomass residues overall attractiveness and exploring the model´s results. Main findings As main findings of the study we found that Eucalyptus waste is the most promising forest residue to produce lignocellulosic bioethanol followed by Paulownia Tomentosa waste. The utilization of forest residues to the production of bioethanol in Portugal may represent in the future an important economic activity with huge environmental benefits. Implications for theory and practice The multicriteria approach addressed the research objectives and is simple to use with great potential for circular economy strategy issues. The step-by-step explanation of the model building makes the approach highly acceptable to other practitioners.
本文旨在评估葡萄牙的农业和森林残留物,以选择用于第二代生物乙醇(2G生物乙醇)生产的最佳候选者。独创性生物质资源对2G生物乙醇的重要性和决策水平的增长以及所涉及的复杂性显然鼓励了根据多种标准识别和选择废物的研究策略。研究方法为了实现关键研究目标,本研究使用了多准则决策分析方法MACBETH来构建关注值并确定关键标准,根据每个标准评估主要的农业和森林废弃物,对标准进行加权,分析生物质残留物的整体吸引力,并探索模型的结果。主要发现作为研究的主要发现,我们发现桉树废料是最有希望生产木质纤维素生物乙醇的森林残留物,其次是泡桐废料。葡萄牙利用森林残留物生产生物乙醇可能是未来一项具有巨大环境效益的重要经济活动。对理论和实践的启示多准则方法解决了研究目标,使用简单,在循环经济战略问题上具有巨大潜力。对模型构建的逐步解释使该方法为其他从业者所接受。

Abstract Paper aims This paper analyzes the food aid supply and distribution for famine relief by the World Food Programme (WFP) in Ethiopia. Food insecurity has increasingly affected people around the world. Furthermore, the characteristics of the provision of humanitarian aid in insecure regions pose several additional challenges over traditional distribution planning (e.g., corruption, losses in last-mile distribution, security escorts). Originality Most previous studies addressing famine relief are qualitative, with only a handful including mathematical modeling as this work. Furthermore, we validate our mathematical model with data from a real problem setting. Research method We propose a stochastic transshipment network flow model to ensure the efficient allocation of limited resources. Main findings The results show high potential for cost savings and offer managerial insights to humanitarian logisticians on the food aid supply and distribution. Our findings indicate that policies in humanitarian logistics should focus on: (a) relaxing legislation for customs clearance of humanitarian supplies; (b) strengthening local market to increase local procurement; (c) implementing tools to enhance security; and (d) monitoring distribution to mitigate the impact of corruption. Implications for theory and practice The results suggest that optimizing food aid distribution in Ethiopia can save millions of people vulnerable to malnutrition.
本文分析了世界粮食计划署(WFP)在埃塞俄比亚援助饥荒的粮食供应和分配情况。粮食不安全日益影响着世界各地的人们。此外,在不安全地区提供人道主义援助的特点对传统的分配规划提出了一些额外的挑战(例如,腐败、最后一英里分配的损失、安全护送)。以往关于饥荒救济的大多数研究都是定性的,只有少数研究包括数学建模。此外,我们用实际问题集的数据验证了我们的数学模型。研究方法为了保证有限资源的有效分配,提出了一种随机转运网络流模型。研究结果显示了节约成本的巨大潜力,并为人道主义后勤人员提供了有关粮食援助供应和分配的管理见解。我们的研究结果表明,人道主义后勤政策应侧重于:(a)放宽人道主义物资通关的立法;(b)加强本地市场,增加本地采购;(c)实施加强保安的工具;(d)监测分配情况,以减轻腐败的影响。研究结果表明,优化埃塞俄比亚的粮食援助分配可以挽救数百万易患营养不良的人。
