Routing problem is one of the key issues in the fourth party logistics. Considering the cost and time expectation of fourth party logistics, this paper studied the single-point to single-point and single-task routing problem in view of goal programming. The novel goal programming mathematical model was established first. Then, an improved differential evolution algorithm was designed based on characteristics...
We consider logistics problems that are both dynamic and potentially large scale. A common way to create a scalable solution for logistics problems is to use multi-agent systems. In this paper we take two positions of a different nature: (1) evolutionary designed multi-agent systems are a promising approach to create scalable and performant solutions for logistics problems, (2) the multi-agent systems...
Like their public counterpart such as Facebook and Twitter, enterprise social networks are poised to revolutionize how people interact in the workplace. There is a pressing need to understand how people are using these social networks. Unlike the public social networks like Facebook or Twitter which are normally characterized using the social graph or the interaction graph, enterprise social networks...
Cloud computing can bring many advantages for companies such as cost efficiency, reducing time to access to the market, ease to use, flexibility and adaptability to change to different condition, etc. However, the adoption rate in Vietnam is still in the beginning stage with not many adopters. As a result, this study focuses on the adoption of cloud computing among Vietnamese companies. Eight factors...
Globalization, lead time reduction and cost pressures, and other factors make it nontrivial for most companies to devise and manage effective logistics services to meet client requirements. They are better off using the services of specialized third party logistics service providers. These providers compete fiercely and need to develop and improve their services continuously to gain competitive advantage...
Our paper processes the case of the subsidiary of car manufacturer who imports containers of constituents (components) of cars to be assembled locally. The road transport of these containers is assured by a company of road transport which has to affect to each reservation, optimally, one or more containers while meeting the deadlines proposed by the customers, the employment regulations and the availability...
In this paper, we propose a method that extracts information from sequences of financial ratios and investigate the usefulness of this information for bankruptcy prediction, which constitutes an important class of financial services. We use the annual financial reports available from an external financial information services provider to extract predictors based on the Markov for Discrimination (MFD)...
Although a few studies have been done to investigate the issue of new service development (NSD) in an emerging market, it is deficiency in the development of home delivery service (HDS) for specialty foods in traditional market. Thus, this study takes a Taiwan's HD companies as a subject and uses quality function deployment (QFD) to develop the home delivery service model based on NSD model. In the...
The subjects of the study are listed petrochemical companies in China. We regard ST as a symbol of financial crisis for an enterprise. T-test and relevant linear test are applied to determine the model variables and Logistic regression to build the forecasting model of financial crisis, then the data of ST enterprise samples and non-ST enterprise samples are used for analysis. With the forecasting...
The rapid development of e-commerce has given birth to the powerful global trading platforms. At the same time, the development of the traditional international trade center is limited by the constraint of the city. As a new international trade center form, the Virtual International Trade Center (VITC) is beginning to reveal its clues. On the basis of the theory of e-commerce and International Trade...
The rapid development in the growing field of project management provides the opportunity for application in the construction of logistics enterprise information. From the function and characteristics of the logistics information system, this article introduces the life cycle of a project, analyses the logistics information system project management process, points out the problems and countermeasures...
The purpose of this paper is to propose and validate the combined model for bankruptcy prediction for the Malaysian firms. This combined model is adopted from previous studies by combining Ohlson logit model, Springate-Canadian model and macroeconomic factors. The proposed combined model is developed by using the financial and macroeconomic constructs. The result indicates that logistic regression...
Financial information that has being deteriorated by fraud will misled users. Hence, the main objective of this paper is to identify the association between five ratios of financial reporting risks to predict fraud. Furthermore, this paper also investigates the impacts of fraud detection on audit fee. Thus, sample of 10 of fraudulent companies and sample of 40 non fraudulent companies are being identified...
The container transport in the hinterland of seaport container terminals has to become more efficient. A better physical infrastructure is only one step to reach this goal. Another indispensible step is the expansion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). After the introduction in the first chapter the actual situation of research and development in container terminal management and ICT...
In paper are presented main knowledge from the area of logistics, enterprise logistics and production logistics. On the base of theoretical knowledge in second part of the paper are described experiences from the application of logistics and simulation in the area of flexible manufacturing system design. The paper also introduces an example application of logistic flow optimization of a real flexible...
The main purpose of this paper is to develop appropriate construct to benchmark performances of logistics companies so that deficiencies can be highlighted and possible strategies can be evolved to improve the performances of the industry. The study applies data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist productivity index (MPI) to explore the operation performances of 55 Thai logistics companies from...
Despite anecdotal support, empirical evidence for network effects on women's advancement to corporate board membership has yet to be fully documented. To address these gaps in extant knowledge, the primary questions that the proposed project seeks to answer how network variables affect the likelihood of board membership for women differently from men? We found, from examining the networks of 489 directors,...
Chinese large logistics enterprises have carried out the business of pledge by warehouse receipts for more than ten years while many problems emerged in the process of business implementation. A lot of risks such as customer credit risk, the risk of bad delivery and regulatory risk have emerged in the business. In particular, customer credit risk is very important. Therefore, it is necessary to study...
Creditors screening on Logistics Company with principal¨Cagency contract in triple inventory pledge loan. Firstly, develop creditor-borrower model under endogenous default probability and symmetric information assumption, find the optimal interest rate according to the price risk and liquidity risk of collateral. Then add Logistics Company as supervisor, compare the efficiency result of fixed commission...
