The Korean shipping industry, which underwent consolidation of shipping companies in the 1980s, continued to grow with the recovery of the global economy from the late 1980s to the first half of the 1990s. The civilian government that came to power after 30 years of military rule gradually abolished government-led protection and support policies in line with the trend of globalization, culminating in Korea’s accession to the OECD in 1996. However, this globalization policy ultimately resulted in a financial crisis. From 1998–2003, the Korean shipping industry had to struggle to survive amid a national financial crisis. In this paper, the author aims to analyze the impact of the financial crisis on the Korean shipping industry. This will contribute to understanding the underlying causes of the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping and Cho Yang Shipping, which were among the top five shipping companies in Korea.

Sustainable port growth remains a major concern in Asia and the Pacific, where more than half of the busiest ports are located and where two-thirds of the world's maritime trade is now concentrated. Most ports continue to strive to improve their performance and productivity to compete with the growing volume of sea trade, as well as the quality of their inland connections. At the same time, various air and water pollutants, as well as other harmful environmental externalities caused by port activities, the Port also needs to address urgent environmental issues to ensure the sustainability of this sea trade. In this study, the essential elements of sustainable port operations are explored through a comprehensive systematic literature review, which is not just a collection of existing studies, but it also analyzes and synthesizes various approaches to evaluate port performance from an environmental sustainability perspective. The transition from theory to practice, in the second part through the focus group discussion of this study, has analyzed the views of the management of some leading Ports in Malaysia to understand how the concept of sustainability theory is implemented in practical situations. The results of this study provide a detailed view of the environmental initiatives and strategies implemented by interacting with those directly involved in the operation and management of Malaysian ports. It records the challenges, successes and ambitions of Malaysian ports in their efforts towards sustainability.

We propose inventory replenishment and lateral transshipment policies for a distribution network. The distribution centers place weekly regular orders and daily urgent orders to the factory. Two classes of stochastic demands, pre-ordered and peddling, cause either backlogging or lost sales when they are not satisfied. The policy was simulated using data from a case study. The results showed that the proposed policies reduced the total cost, which includes transportation costs for satisfied demands and lateral transshipment, back order and lost sale costs for unsatisfied demands, and inventory holding costs. The best policy reduced long-run total cost and was proved robust from sensitivity analysis. Finally, implementing the policy with the case study confirmed 9.97 % total cost reduction and its practical application.

The logistics industry become one of the most rapidly growing sectors, primarily attributed to Vietnam’s economic development. Most domestic transportation relies on road mode instead of inland waterways transport (IWT). With a long coast and large river country, Vietnam’s transportation should advocate for waterborne systems. This study investigates the barge service providers in the Mekong Delta region (MDR) in southern Vietnam ̶ the focal economic development zone of Vietnam. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches, we employ an integrated multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) method to estimate the best-fitting barge service providers. Accordingly, we recommend some policy implications for the MDR sustainable economic growth.

Ship owners and operators are continuously seeking financially viable ways to comply with the Sulphur emission limits set out by the IMO, which calls for a reduction of sulphur content in ship fuel to less than 0.5 % in 2020. The prudent decision in managing required energy sources by shipowners/operators will lead to an efficient ship operating decision, subsequently resulting in long-term financial return. The study aims to identify the factors influencing ship owners and operators to select the energy types in operating their vessels. Furthermore, the research explores the most desired energy sources to address the IMO Sulphur Cap Regulations 2020. One operation research method, namely the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE), and one econometrics tool, namely the conditional logit model, have been used to explore the research objectives. The PROMETHEE analysis suggests that clean fuel (VLSFO) is the best alternative to respond IMO 2020, followed by scrubber installation. The conditional logit analysis suggests almost the same, indicating clean fuel as the only alternative for responding to regulation. The decision is driven by the vessel's age negatively and the size of the vessel positively. The study will enormously impact the ship’s energy procurement practices in Bangladesh.

Seafaring continues to be risky despite the tremendous international effort to curb maritime accidents. While onboard, seafarers, as the principal human element in the maritime industry, must face myriad physical and mental stresses and dynamic safety challenges. So far, many of these challenges have remained out of the scope of the maritime industry and research communities. Our earlier research addressed some human element-related challenges, including time constraints, fatigue and performing simultaneous tasks. This study addresses a crucial element that has yet to be adequately researched: seafarers' frustration at their workplace. It is essential because managing the high rate of maritime accidents due to task deviation and its underlying factor of frustration has been a significant challenge for the governing authorities of the maritime industry. This research constitutes a significant qualitative investigation, utilising interviews to explore an underlying factor contributing to maritime accidents. We show that workplace frustration is a significant cause of task deviation, leading to dangerous situations at sea. This paper presents four reasons for frustration at sea: physical hardship in conducting a task, social isolation, working with undesirable people, and severed expectations. Additionally, the main steps that the maritime industry can take to mitigate seafarers’ frustration at sea are recommended.

The COVID-19 epidemic has highlighted the vulnerability of international trade, forcing an increase in domestic supply reserves in Indonesia and other ASEAN countries. This transition underlines the need of sustainable practices in addressing the changing expectations of organizations and consumers in the field of supply chain management. Recognizing the importance of agriculture in Indonesia's context, this study investigates into the digital implementation throughout agricultural supply chains. The study explores the benefits and challenges of incorporating digitalization in agricultural supply chains by conducting in-depth interviews with stakeholders from many sectors, including farmers, experts, industry practitioners, academia, and government representatives. Stakeholder insights provide information about the possible benefits of digital transformation, such as greater income, cost savings, and improved collaboration. Furthermore, the report identifies important challenges such as insufficient infrastructure and data security problems that must be addressed. In addition to improving agricultural supply chain efficiency, digitalization is found to have broader implications for maritime logistics, a crucial component of Indonesia’s archipelagic trade system. By optimizing the coordination between agricultural production and shipping schedules, digital tools can reduce delays, streamline logistics operations, and enhance overall supply chain resilience. This study not only addresses challenges in Indonesia’s agricultural sector but also contributes to the broader goal of promoting innovation and sustainability in logistics and shipping within Indonesia and across the ASEAN region.

Seaports play a crucial role in international trade and economic development. This study aims to analyze the existing literature on port facilities to identify research patterns and emerging areas of interest. Using the Scopus database, the researchers searched for publications related to port facilities and found a total of 178 scholarly articles. The data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel, Publish or Perish and VOS viewer. The study examined subject areas, keywords, citations, and Journal/publishers metrics, to understand the key contributors and collaborative efforts in this field. The findings revealed a lack of scholarly evaluation of port facilities literature until 1975. From 1975 to 2003, there were 57 publications with very few citations. However, interest in this field grew significantly between 2004 and 2023, with 114 publications and 496 citations. Most of the documents were written in English, and there was concentration of research efforts in specific areas. International collaboration was observed among 12 countries. The study suggests the need for more research, collaborations, and citations in the field of port facilities, particularly in areas beyond engineering and earth and planetary sciences. Logistics management, computing, and maritime should be further explored to address gaps in the current literature.

The research aims to investigate the support suppliers’ decision making for Textile and Garment Vietnamese Enterprises based on using association rules mining. In order to increase the competitive advantage over other enterprises, Vietnamese enterprises are gradually shifting their production methods from CMT (Cut-Make-Trim) to FOB (Free On Board), ODM (Original Design Manufacturing), and OBM (Original Brand Manufacturing). One of the important steps for this transformation is to be self-sufficient in sourcing raw materials from selected suppliers with sufficient capabilities, meeting the requirements of price, and CSR (corporate social responsibility) to enable Vietnamese enterprises to enjoy tax incentives. The Vietnamese Enterprises participate in the textile and garment production process through importing raw materials from other countries such as China, Korea, etc. Therefore, the selection supplier issue is very important to them to enhance their business products. This study researches on finding positive ARs and negative ARs in Textile and Garment data domain via three scenarios to define the relationship of alternative criteria for selection suppliers. By using alternative method of ARM (Association Rule Mining), the experimental results show that Textile and Garment enterprises in Vietnam appreciate the CSR factor highly. This is completely in line with the previous survey research on the new factor in the supplier selection criteria of Textile and Garment enterprises in Vietnam. In another word, in this field, the CSR plays as an important role to reflect company’s image and it is the first of decision choice. The other criteria are considered after including Cost, Quality, and Delivery respectively. The remain factors of Service, Capability, Relationship, and Sourcing Country are not highly evaluated via the experiments. With different scenarios along with the association rules mined, they reflect different sets of criteria that textile and garment enterprises use to select their suppliers. Furthermore, the rare rules show situations that are very unlikely but have high reliability in reality. Based on the findings, the factors will show the essentials for suppliers to improve themselves to meet the requirements.
本研究旨在利用关联规则挖掘法研究越南纺织服装企业的供应商决策支持。为了提高相对于其他企业的竞争优势，越南企业正逐步将其生产方式从 CMT（裁剪-制作-修整）转变为 FOB（船上交货）、ODM（原始设计制造）和 OBM（原始品牌制造）。这一转变的重要步骤之一是自给自足，从选定的有足够能力的供应商那里采购原材料，满足价格和企业社会责任（CSR）的要求，使越南企业能够享受税收优惠。越南企业通过从中国、韩国等其他国家进口原材料参与纺织服装生产过程。因此，选择供应商问题对他们提升业务产品非常重要。本研究通过三种情景来确定选择供应商的备选标准的关系，从而在纺织服装数据域中发现正的 ARs 和负的 ARs。通过使用关联规则挖掘（ARM）的替代方法，实验结果表明越南的纺织服装企业非常重视企业社会责任因素。这与之前关于越南纺织服装企业供应商选择标准中新因素的调查研究完全一致。换言之，在这一领域，企业社会责任在反映公司形象方面发挥着重要作用，是决策选择的第一要素。其后考虑的其他标准分别包括成本、质量和交货期。剩下的服务、能力、关系和采购国等因素在实验中的评价并不高。不同的情景和挖掘出的关联规则反映了纺织服装企业选择供应商的不同标准。此外，稀有规则还显示了现实中不太可能出现但可靠性很高的情况。根据研究结果，这些因素将显示供应商为满足要求而进行自我改进的必要条件。
{"title":"Selection supplier for Textile and Garment enterprises in Vietnam using association rules","authors":"Thi Ha Dinh , Thi Thu Thuy Nguyen , Thi Thanh Tam Do , Thi Van Trang Nguyen , Hung Long Nguyen , Van Thanh Do","doi":"10.1016/j.ajsl.2024.11.003","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.ajsl.2024.11.003","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>The research aims to investigate the support suppliers’ decision making for Textile and Garment Vietnamese Enterprises based on using association rules mining. In order to increase the competitive advantage over other enterprises, Vietnamese enterprises are gradually shifting their production methods from CMT (Cut-Make-Trim) to FOB (Free On Board), ODM (Original Design Manufacturing), and OBM (Original Brand Manufacturing). One of the important steps for this transformation is to be self-sufficient in sourcing raw materials from selected suppliers with sufficient capabilities, meeting the requirements of price, and CSR (corporate social responsibility) to enable Vietnamese enterprises to enjoy tax incentives. The Vietnamese Enterprises participate in the textile and garment production process through importing raw materials from other countries such as China, Korea, etc. Therefore, the selection supplier issue is very important to them to enhance their business products. This study researches on finding positive ARs and negative ARs in Textile and Garment data domain via three scenarios to define the relationship of alternative criteria for selection suppliers. By using alternative method of ARM (Association Rule Mining), the experimental results show that Textile and Garment enterprises in Vietnam appreciate the CSR factor highly. This is completely in line with the previous survey research on the new factor in the supplier selection criteria of Textile and Garment enterprises in Vietnam. In another word, in this field, the CSR plays as an important role to reflect company’s image and it is the first of decision choice. The other criteria are considered after including Cost, Quality, and Delivery respectively. The remain factors of Service, Capability, Relationship, and Sourcing Country are not highly evaluated via the experiments. With different scenarios along with the association rules mined, they reflect different sets of criteria that textile and garment enterprises use to select their suppliers. Furthermore, the rare rules show situations that are very unlikely but have high reliability in reality. Based on the findings, the factors will show the essentials for suppliers to improve themselves to meet the requirements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46505,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics","volume":"40 4","pages":"Pages 206-212"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142721013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
