The Nature of Purchasing
This book was created in the spirit of learning from nature in the field of professional purchasing. It describes real-world purchasing problems faced by companies as well as individuals and presents natural hands-on solutions that apply scientific approaches. The book answers what the core of purchasing could be, the inner structure of it or in other words the natural way. Nature masters effectiveness based on immanent laws and ensures efficiency by best results for minimal invest. Especially in complex and ambiguous situations, purchasers benefit from this book by understanding the broader context with the help of recent scientific research. Focusing on the problems that purchasers face in managerial practice rather than oversimplified generalizations, the book features step-by-step explanations, allowing readers to find tailored solutions to address challenges in key purchasing areas. The book was written in collaboration and with the help of experts in purchasing and logistics, biology, law and economics, human resource development, media and sports, and merges perspectives from theory and practice to provide natural strategies for purchasers.
Developing E-commerce logistics in cross-border relation
Through a structured literature review and an exploratory factor analysis, this thesis presents a conceptual framework with 6 key factors composed of 19 indicators, including government, consumer, company, product, operation and partnership, which affecting the development of e-logistics in cross-border relation. Then, a comprehensive competitive strategy is generated based on the framework, including government policy, logistics strategy selection, differentiated product, dual-channel inventory and transport. Finally, Walmart and JD.com in China market are chosen as case study, the development of their cross-border e-logistics strategy verify the rationality and applicability of the framewo...
Overcoming logistics-related barriers to higher-value exporte – a decision framework to identify policy measures
Logistics is key to a country’s trading opportunities. Poor trade logistics performance, measured in the cost and complexity of importing and exporting, precludes many countries from diversifying their economies and can hamper trade, growth and employment. This is acutely relevant for developing countries, where a frail logistics environment, i.e., the combination of logistics infrastructure and services, is often a factor in weak trade. While trade consists of imports and exports, exports are crucial to a country’s development due to their potential to increase income and employment. Supply chain delays increase transportation costs and hence product costs, thus decreasing the competiti...
A methodology for planning sustainable supply chain initiatives
This publication presents a methodology for planning sustainable supply chain initiatives, consisting of three scopes, each with its appropriate mechanism and background theory. The first one “Acting In” structures organizational practices in a “Framework for Managing Sustainable Supply Chain Practices”. The second scope “Acting Out” compares practices from 32 recognized sustainability leaders from five different industries through a “Benchmarks Practices Bank”. The third scope “Acting Beyond” supports defining and managing a portfolio of sustainable supply chain practices through a “Practices Portfolio Planning Matrix” which provides a list of opportunities for the e...
A Theoretical and Practical Contribution to Supply Chain Robustness
In dieser Doktorarbeit werden vier individuelle Untersuchungen im Bereich der Supply Chain Robustheit durchgeführt. Das übergeordnete Ziel dieser ist die Entwicklung eines konzeptionellen Rahmens der Supply Chain Robustheit. Dafür wird aktuelle Literatur in diesem Forschungsfeld zusammengeführt und ein Schema mit Bestimmungsfaktoren zur Erhöhung von Robustheit in Käufer-Lieferantenbeziehungen entwickelt. Motivation für diese wissenschaftliche Arbeit ist ein beobachteter Anstieg von Unterbrechungen in Supply Chains sowie eine weiterhin anhaltende Outsourcing-Tendenz und die dadurch wachsende Bedeutung von Beziehungen in Supply Chains. In dieser Arbeit werden zwei Literaturstudien sowie...
The Concept Industry 4.0
Christoph Jan Bartodziej examines by means of an empirical study which potential Industry 4.0 technologies do have regarding end-to-end digital integration in production logistics based on their functions. According to the relevance of the concept Industry 4.0 and its early stage of implementation it is essential to clarify terminology, explain relations and identify drivers and challenges for an appropriate use of Industry 4.0 technologies. The results will constitute a profound basis to formulate recommendations for action for technology suppliers and technology users.
The Impact of Automatic Store Replenishment on Retail
Drawing on several interviews and a comprehensive statistical analysis, Alfred Angerer proves the effectiveness of such ASR systems. The following questions are adressed: Which types of ASR system exist? What are the exact benefits of ASR systems? Which variables influence the ASR performance? Which ASR system is best suited for each product? How does a company best implement ASR systems?
Management model for social and environmental impact in logistics through blockchain technologies
In the context of the advancing digitalization of logistics processes, blockchain technologies are gaining in importance. Within the scope of sustainable logistics networks, they contribute to cross-stakeholder transparency and support the tracking and verification of products and processes to improve social and environmental parameters. The goal of this work is to develop a holistic management model to help users understand blockchain technologies in the context of their logistics network and to assess the mindful adoption of these technologies to specific problems. In addition, the model should enable the conclusion of expected impacts on participating actors within the logistics network w...
