Will environmental friendly products be preferred? – Lesson from a Delphi study in Europe
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In recent years, environmentally friendly products have attracted much attention from various stakeholders. In this paper, we explore if such products are being preferred or not. We have applied a Delphi study, including an online survey and interviews with a panel of experts in Europe. The analysis of data reflects that despite the increased awareness consumers are still reluctant to pay more for them. Technologies are expected to facilitate cheaper and greener products in the middle term. Finally, stakeholders such as governments, service providers, and retailers can play more active roles in promoting the products.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Firms are increasingly interested in transport policies that enable a shift in cargo volumes from road (truck) transport to less expensive, more sustainable, but slower and less flexible transport modes like railway or inland waterway transport. The lack of flexibility in terms of shipment quantity and delivery frequency may cause unnecessary inventories and lost sales, which may outweigh the savings in transportation costs. To guide the strategic volume allocation, we examine a modal split transport (MST) policy of two modes that integrates inventory controls.We develop a single-product–single-corridor stochastic MST model with two transport modes considering a hybrid push–pull inventory control policy. The objective is to minimize the long-run expected total costs of transport, inventory holding, and backlogging. The MST model is a generalization of the classical tailored base-surge (TBS) policy known from the dual sourcing literature with non-identical delivery frequencies of the two transport modes. We analytically solve approximate problems and provide closed-form solutions of the modal split. The solution provides an easy-to-implement solution tool for practitioners. The results provide structural insights regarding the tradeoff between transport cost savings and holding cost spending and reveal a high utilization of the slow mode. A numerical performance study shows that our approximation is reasonably accurate, with an error of less than 3% compared to the optimal results. The results also indicate that as much as 85% of the expected volume should be split into the slow mode.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose With various challenges in the digital era, stakeholders are expressing growing interests in understanding the impact of the emerging technologies on freight transportation. The purpose of this paper is to fill the existing research gap by exploring the current merging technologies taking place in the logistics industry and analyze their impact on freight transportation. Design/methodology/approach Six representative recent articles from academic, industrial, and governmental perspectives are investigated to elect nine emerging technologies, which are then used as keywords to conduct a systematic literature review covering the literature in the past ten years. Findings 3D Printing, Artificial Intelligence, Automated Robots, Autonomous Vehicles, Big Data Analytics, Blockchain, Drones, Electric Vehicles, and Internet of Things are identified as emerging technologies. The state-of-the-art of the current research and potential future opportunities are then analyzed. Research limitations/implications The research could support various stakeholders to better capture the current status of and the future opportunities in freight transportation. Original/value The paper fills a gap in the literature on the impacts of emerging technologies on freight transportation.
