Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled information system solutions are emerging in various domains such as remote healthcare, smart logistics, agriculture and so on. Meanwhile, Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) have proved themselves to be promising tools for driving and managing devices within IoT systems. However, past works have not fully addressed how the IoT-based BPMS can continue their...
Ordinary Lapillus has been thought as an aggregate though, it in this study, it is considered of particulate and being developed based on powder particle technology. The purpose of this study is guaranteeing safety of workers, improving working efficiency and minimization damage to farmlands. We are developing lapillus conveying system. This paper describes the detailed design of the Conveying System,...
Travel time prediction is important for freight transportation companies. Accurate travel time prediction can help these companies make better planning and task scheduling. For several reasons, most companies are not able to obtain traffic flow data from traffic management authorities, but a large amount of trajectory data were collected everyday which has not been fully utilised. In this study, we...
Supplier Selection is a problem that supply chain managers have been facing for many years. Selecting the appropriate suppliers is no longer as simple as choosing only based on the price they offer. There are many criteria, which can be either quantitative or qualitative, to be considered. There is thus a need for an approach that can handle these criteria. Besides, as supply chains are becoming more...
This work proposes a novel framework for the development of new products and services in transportation through an open innovation approach based on automatic content analysis of social media data. The framework is able to extract users comments from Online Social Networks (OSN), to process and analyze text through information extraction and sentiment analysis techniques to obtain relevant information...
Along the fact that the city's transportation needs is still increasing makes the supply of the vehicles to support the transportation is also high. It then causes the high level of traffic jam. This research aims to design a transportation model that can reduce the traffic jam in big cities. The research will be done by conducting a survey involving transport users, transportation companies and IT...
This study investigates effects of brand community in the social media on the customer-centric model (customer relationship with product, brand, company & other customers) and its impact on brand affect, brand trust, and brand loyalty. This study obtained 374 respondents who are followers of UBER brand community in the social media (Facebook and Twitter). Data were analyzed using covariance-based...
In linear programming, the transportation problem is one of the most important and successful applications of quantitative analysis for solving business problems in products distribution. Basically, the aim is to minimize the cost of shipping goods from one location to another, so that the needs of each arrival area are met and every shipping location operates within its capacity. This paper presents...
Drawing on theresource-based view (RBV), this study explores the capabilities portfolio of logistics service providers (LSPs) and sustainable competitive advantage. Cement transportation, as a kind of logistics services are selected, and the research model are built to analyze the portfolio of transport capabilities. Results show that different service strategies produce different impact on capability...
Container transportation is a significant guarantee to the realization of many international trades and playing a significant role in the transactions across borders. Empty container allocation and management relate to the degree of container utilization, the cost of empty container disposition expenses, adaptation for containers of goods sent in a timely manner and enterprise economic benefits. Through...
There is growing interest in multiplex networks where individual nodes take part in several layers of networks simultaneously. From transportation networks to complex infrastructures, and to social and communication networks, a large variety of systems can be described in terms of multiplexes formed by a set of nodes interacting through different layers of networks, for example, in social networks...
Public-private Partnership (PPP) is widely used to provide public infrastructure and services around the world. Chinese central government has also promoted this model since 2013 and it is estimated that there would be more and more PPP projects to be implemented in China. The foreign experiences that renegotiation has been more and more with PPP projects development. However, few studies have been...
In the situation that 4PL takes the logistics task of many supply-demand pairs, in order to provide efficient and timely logistics services, the problem of 4PL many-to-many network design with delivery time considered is studied. An optimization model is formulated, which minimizes the total logistics costs with the delivery time of the supply-demand pairs satisfying the required value. According...
In Supply Chain Management, several costs should be taken into account. They cover all of the holding, purchasing, ordering and transportation. Minimizing costs may be done through considering each cost separately or all of them simultaneously. In this paper, we focus on the ordering problem. In a cooperative context, two major fundamental relations were studied: the first one considers the possible...
This present paper focuses on the mitigation of uncertainty-driven cost increases specific to the sourcing of transportation services, impacted by spot price volatility, uncertainty of demand and unreliability of carriers. We investigate the value of a specific mitigation strategy, namely the possibility to contract an alternative carrier (AC), which would take care of extra/emergency shipments, at...
Suppose that similar terminals of several companies are in relative proximity to each other. Each company carries out transportation and storage of cargoes. If the terminal is crowded then the company can rent a portion of a terminal of another company. On contrary, if the terminal of some company is not sufficiently loaded, then the portion of the terminal can be suggested in the lease to another...
To reduce container management costs, ocean carrier companies rent containers from container leasing companies. Two carrier companies can exchange their empty containers between each other at various ports to eliminate the transportation cost of empty containers. To minimize costs, a container leasing company has to find the maximum number of pairs of carrier companies that can exchange containers...
This paper presents a new tactical optimization problem for non-hazardous waste and end-life product supply chain. Waste transport and recycling become crucial in our modern society, with a huge environmental and economic impact for industrials and communities. Operations on products during transport such as grinding or sorting allows companies to densify transports and reduce the overall supply cost...
Physical distribution is a critical activity for companies because it defines successful customer service. This article discusses a case study of a liquefied gas distributor with respect to improving customer service and reducing delivery costs. The proposed method for the delivery process consists of two steps: First, the customers for each day are distributed to the delivery trucks by using the...
Mitigating vandalism in local traffic and at stations, violent disorder, and theft by employing security guards, installing video cameras are expensive and only partially solve existing the problems. Related costs directly affect the fares and thus the attractiveness of local public transport. We discuss a concept to implement a Report-service to forward emergency and complaint messages in local public...
