Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present a "network" framing of food supply arrangements. Such frameworks have been asked for in previous research as supplements to prevailing supply chain conceptualizations. Design/methodology/approach - The framework builds on industrial network theory. According to this approach, business reality is analyzed in three inter-related dimensions: the activities undertaken, the resources used for this undertaking, and the actors controlling resources and activities. For each dimension, relevant concepts are derived for analysis of the features of food supply and food waste. Findings - The network framing was useful for analyzing the prerequisites and consequences for two approaches to reduce food waste: one based on extension of shelf-life, the other relying on enhanced responsiveness in the supply arrangement. The framework was then used for suggesting managerial actions to reduce food waste through increasing activity coordination, resource combining, and actor interaction with consideration of potential consequences of such actions. Practical implications - Managerial issues in food supply are discussed with regard to the role of activity coordination, the role of resource combining, and the role of actor interaction in efforts to prevent food waste. Originality/value - The paper suggests a novel approach for analyzing food supply networks with particular focus on food waste reduction. Such framings are applied in other supply systems, and requested by food supply researchers.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – This paper develops a conceptual framework for how to identify a fit between food product characteristics and logistics solutions within transportation, warehousing and material handling. Focus is on tactical decisions within an existing supply chain structure. Design/methodology/approach - The research is based on literature studies, workshops with experts from Swedish Institute for Food Science and examples from companies active in the food supply chain. Findings – It is identified that product value, demand and supply uncertainty, shelf life and product sensitiveness places requirements on transportation, warehousing and material handling in terms of costs, flexibility, time and quality. A two step framework is developed which identifies what the risks are of conflicting requirements of the product characteristics on the logistics solution.Research limitations/implications - Limitations of the paper are connected to the conceptual nature of the framework and the use of only four practical examples. Further research is to apply the framework in practice and the use of other perspective as the point of departure, e.g. strategic decisions and supply chain processes such as sourcing, purchasing, and manufacturing. Practical implications – Food supply chain actors involved in transportation, warehousing and material handling can use the framework in discussions of appropriate logistics solutions within an existing supply chain structure depending on a product’s characteristics. Originality/value - This paper, in comparison to previous studies within food supply chain management, contributes by taking a wide focus on food products and including all actors in the supply chain. It adds the perspective of transportation, warehousing and material handling to existing frameworks and recognises the importance of the surrounding environment affecting the product quality as the product move through the supply chain.
