In the process of dismantling tapioca flour, waste occurs due to activities that do not provide added value (Non-Value Added). The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the types of waste and then propose improvements to eliminate activities that do not provide added value. By using the concept of lean supply chain and value stream mapping (VSM) it is expected to eliminate activities that do not provide added value and make the company more productive. Through the analysis of seven wastes and fishbone diagrams, it is known that the biggest causes of waste are waiting for the arrival of workers, waiting for pilot/tug boats, waiting for trucks to arrive, and working on sacks that have fallen and torn. Meanwhile, the recommendations given are to coordinate and evaluate the performance of workers, increase the number of pilot/tug boats and trucks, and supervise the unloading process to minimize mistakes made by workers. With the proposed improvement, the cycle time, which was originally 335.34 minutes decreased to 271.97 minutes, and for Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) which was originally 68.30% increased to 84.22%.

Supply chains have become the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic, as evidenced by problems in the supply of semiconductors, food, and other products, which raises the problem of supply chain manageability. There has been a so-called ‘shortening’ of the supply chain. The paper addressed the problem of using digital tools in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study aims to examine the main digital tools used by local businesses and evaluate the prospects for logistics management using new technology. The hypothesis is that SMEs that do not use digital tools in supply chain management are also characterized by the poor quality of management. A survey was conducted to identify the actual supply chain management practices during the COVID-19-induced crisis in the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Republic of Kazakhstan and discover common trends and differences in these countries. A set of recommendations for implementing best global practices in these countries was suggested. The study found that poor supply chain management correlates with a lack of digital tools application. The studied enterprises were divided into five groups based on the digital tools level and provided tailored recommendations to improve the integration of such tools.

Austria tries to reach its decarbonisation targets by 2050. The significant attention lies in the carbon intensity of transport, with commuting of particular interest. The paper presents E-Commuting practices that are suitable tools to intervene in these journeys; however, it seems to be difficult. Exploring and understanding the commuting system of everyday lives is crucial. It is through this understanding that alternative avenues for intervention arise, for example into the practice of flexible working models. To understand the influence of e-commuting, the questionnaire via WhatsApp of 685 respondents was conducted, which considered an understanding of work and the commute necessary. The aim of the paper was to explore the workers' routines for in-office days and work-from-home days. The results show that the employees want to work remotely full or in hybrid mode and this trend is going forward. The employees are more productive with flexibility mode – 73.08%; they wish more flexibility in terms of returning to the cubicle – 71.79%; they desire the same amount of time of flexibility and going into the cubicle – 70.51%. Finally, in the case of any flexibility in their current organization, they would consider looking for another job that did not require return to the cubicle with the same salary – 53.85%.

The green concept in operations is becoming an inevitable part of global maritime logistics activities and has an important influence on the improvement of efficiency and environmental performance. This paper aims to assess the continuous monitoring and tracking of container shipments at the ports in order to reduce carbon emissions thus improving environmental performance. In this research, near real-time RFID data tracing and tracking container cargo are shared by the automated monitoring system. The collected data gathered via digitalization is further analyzed to ensure a greener maritime logistics system. The significant findings of the study for the literature show that the actual fuel consumption is reduced when automated monitoring systems are used at the ports (Ports and CFS (Container freight station)). The reduced fuel consumption during the transit between the ports and CFS has resulted in a reduction in carbon emissions of environmental performance. The results show a 6 % reduction in emissions from port to CFS and 23% from CFS to ports. Thus, effective practices in Green Logistics are considered to be beneficial for carbon emissions. These findings contribute to the understanding and development of effective strategies for logistic operations using technologies to create a green performance. The study was performed in a certain set of environmental dimensions and the results may vary depending on the organization, which can be studied further in future research.

Reducing uncertainty in the supply chain (SC) is probably one of the major difficulties that the company must solve. Indeed, the SC is currently under enormous pressure and the decision-making process is frequently confronted with varied settings while making decisions due to the degree of uncertainty. The purpose of this study is to investigate the main major sources of uncertainty in SC. The study also examines the practices adopted to reduce uncertainty and enhance forecasting accuracy. A survey was carried out. Questionnaires were distributed amongst the managerial staff located in Morocco and other countries. We collected work e-mail addresses of managerial staff managerial working in SCs that operate in mass production and also in large-scale distribution and invited them to participate in an anonymous online survey. The questionnaire was designed to assess respondents' views about the main sources of uncertainty in SC and how they do to reduce it. Findings indicate that uncertainty occurs in any SC process, but the main uncertain prosses are procurement, supply planning, and demand forecasting. In addition, uncertainty comes from external and internal factors. Moreover, the decision-making mode, SC partnership, and risk contract have an important impact on the occurrence of uncertainty in the SC.

This study investigates the artificial intelligence (AI) adoption drivers and the mediating effects of trust and how the latter influence human resources management (HRM) of the banking sector in Saudi Arabia. A survey-based questionnaire was employed to collect data from 261 practitioners and professionals working in different banks in Saudi Arabia. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze data. Significant and positive effects of perceived usefulness and trust on artificial intelligence adoption in human resource management are highlighted by the results. In addition, the indirect effects of trust between perceived usefulness and AI adoption in human resource management were also found to be significant.

The subject of consideration in the paper are negotiations between companies cooperating within reverse logistics. The objective of the paper is to present a concept for describing the specificity of such negotiations, influencing the ability of cooperating parties to create and recover value within reverse logistics. As introductory part of the article the methodology used for preparation of article is presented. Then, reverse logistics as the activity influencing value creation and value restoration is characterized. In next part of the work main units cooperating and negotiating within reverse logistics are distinguished. In this part the specificity of reverse logistics as environment for negotiations is also presented. Within the subsequent parts of the article in order to present the features of negotiations within reverse logistics cooperation the original methodological framework is applied, comprising the key aspects of negotiation’s definition, distinguished on the basis of different approaches presented in literature, e.g. as a process, methods of conflict management and reaching agreement, mutual dependence of the parties and processes of: decision making, communication, mutual exchange and value creation. The summary synthetizes the major features of the considered negotiations, and also indicates the directions of research enriching the proposed concept. The approach to description of negotiations presented by the authors of the paper is a novelty and has an original character, i.e. it is based on their own thoughts on the specificity of the negotiations under consideration. No such concept has been presented in the literature on the subject so far.

The aim of this post is to point out the use of RFID robots in the management of logistics processes. RFID technology is defined first. RFID technology represents identification using radio frequency waves. The principle is to store the necessary data in radio frequency memory chips and then repeatedly read or write the data using a reader. We divide RFID chips into active and passive. Active RFID chips use energy from a battery, while passive RFID chips are a technology without an internal power source. Passive RFID is the most common form of RFID in warehouses, using which inventory is taken using RFID robots or hand-held RFID readers. Nowadays, many RFID robots from different manufacturers are available on the market. When choosing, I must consider where we want to use the RFID robot and choose the one that suits us based on its specific characteristics. The RFID robot is a mobile and autonomous RFID system that performs an inventory of the given space based on our initial setup. The RFID robot locates each item in 2 dimensions (x and y). Most robots can move in all directions because they can rotate without shifting. The accuracy of the inventory using the RFID robot ranges from 95-99%, while the accuracy of the inventory performed by employees using handheld RFID readers ranges from 85-95%. As for speed, it is on average 10 times faster compared to manual RFID readers.

The logistics sector is considered non-traditional for women as the industry employs mostly men as the required tasks are considered masculine. Logistics operation runs 24/7, which leads to long working hours and overlaps with women’s household responsibilities. The situation is linked to turnover intention among women in this industry. Numerous studies have acknowledged women to be as good as men. Therefore, turnover among women in this industry is a significant loss for the industry as gender imbalance remains a major issue. Furthermore, studies on this subject remain scarce. This study addressed the literature gap by adopting the Self Determination Theory (SDT) and investigated the factors influencing female employees’ intention to stay in the logistics industry. Data analysis was performed using a purposive sampling technique and Smart Partial Least Squares (Smart PLS). Resultantly, job satisfaction mediated the relationship between intrinsic motivation and intention to stay but did not mediate extrinsic motivation and intention to stay. Additionally, the relationship between work-life balance and intention to stay was mediated by organisational commitment. The findings benefit human resource management in the logistics industry to design a better policy to reduce retention prevalence and decrease the number of talented female employees leaving this industry.

In Iraq, there is a vast construction movement. Still, it is accompanied by many problems, the most important of which is the delay in completing projects during the specified time. The time must be optimized by adopting the leadership practice and dedicating it to the benefit of performing the process and functions of the project. The research aims to identify the most important reasons and factors that affect the project delivery process within the specified period. The investigation initially dealt with the most important previous studies, on this subject, by researchers, then touched on the concept of construction projects, their types and details. A questionnaire containing reasons for the delay was identified and divided into several items. It concluded that the most common reasons for delays are delays in laboratory testing of materials, assignment of works to the lowest bidder, contractors' financial incompetence, and high building materials prices. The most crucial factor is to streamline building material inspection procedures, set up inspection laboratories on several occasions and assess the contractor's effectiveness and ability to implement before the project is referred financially. Organizations and individuals should coordinate their work between the construction departments to prevent any issues that may arise during completing tasks.
