Purpose The pressure on logistics companies to embrace green processes has increased significantly in the last few years. Within broad concept of supply chain management, a review existing literature highlighted need understand how practices (GSCP) can contribute improving company performance from an environmental point view, as well economic and operational. This paper aims investigate GSCP adopted by third party (3PLs) Italy terms specific implemented level adoption each practice, explore...

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) has become an area of increasing concern for organizations institutions. As it evolves, gradually posed ongoing challenges, becoming more complex, organizations. Consequently, comprehensive studies are required to advance academic institutional research. From this perspective, study aims gather research contributions on the effectiveness existing interventions OSH improvement identify areas further exploration.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand whether a link between the use supplier selection (SS) and supply risk management (SRM) exists further contextual factors which lead SRM SS exist in engineering, procurement construction (EPC) sector. Design/methodology/approach A multiple case study has been undertaken as an empirical analysis answer series research questions. data have collected through structured interviews corporate directors companies belonging Italian EPC sector...

The literature on occupational safety and health (OSH) interventions contains many debates how should work, but far less attention has been paid to they actually do the contextual factors that influence their implementation, development effect. need of improving understanding OSH issue is particularly relevant for small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), since experience worse conditions, have fewer physical, economic organizational resources if compared larger enterprises; thus, SMEs strongly...

The opportunity of improving production sustainability through waste minimisation is getting more and interesting because remarkable generation the contribution to increase productivity natural resources. article intended propose an environmental costing method enable a proper analysis flows products, by-products wastes produced by whole plant or simply section this plant, in order properly prioritise list likely interventions make better decisions head for higher level eco-efficiency, hence...

AbstractProperly managing supply chain risks is at the top of many managers' agendas. However, process selecting preventive measures to mitigate often unstructured in practice. This also reflected academic literature, where appropriate mitigation performed via qualitative and rather informal approaches. In order fill this gap industrial practice research, purpose study provide a quantitative DSS select for risks. The support system theoretically grounded decision framework consistent with...

Over the last decade, logistics companies have experienced significant pressures towards adoption of green practices. Meanwhile, research community has started to show an increasing interest in supply chain management (GSCM) area. However, so far only a limited number studies focussed specifically on activities and third party providers (3PLs), their motivations barriers practices (GSCP). This paper seeks fill this gap by illustrating results multiple case study with data collected through...

Many Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) interventions have proven to be effective only under controlled conditions; during the implementation in practice, may not work as expected, especially small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs are affected by different contextual factors than larger these can influence outcome of OSH programs. Three phases an intervention (design, implementation, control) been considered. The aim this research is understand what mechanisms which works or does...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the supplier selection issue as a way mitigate overall supply risk, through proposition new approach which practical total cost ownership and, at same time, real support for decision making issue, rather than an additional constraint maker. Design/methodology/approach A risk efficiency‐based (REBaSS) developed critical supplies, that allows maker consider procurement‐related “risk” and “investment” mitigation/exploitation interventions....

This literature-grounded research contributes to a deeper understanding of modularization as system life cycle management strategy, by providing comprehensive view its key barriers, drivers, possible mechanisms implementation and impact. view, arranged into decision-making–driven ontology, enables decision maker systematically identify opportunities in different industrial service domains. The proposed ontology transforms fully operationalizable strategy paradigm shift the modularization,...

Suppliers in the Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) projects environment are often qualified based on their annual turnover, and as a result relatively large number of small suppliers get excluded at preliminary stage from approved vendors' list EPC contractors. To facilitate an inclusive evaluation wide range capabilities suppliers, this research examines application broader perspective for supplier selection environment. Supply chain configuration is put forward capability,...

Many companies are facing issues related to the increasing average age of their workforce, which impacts both operational and occupational safety health (OSH) performance. In recent years, ageing workforce (AW) has been investigated from various perspectives by researchers, showing how can use different approaches address this phenomenon, either in OSH interventions or strategies. However, no studies have interrelations between these approaches. study, we first conducted an extensive...

Effective interventions are a priority in continuously changing occupational environments, particularly companies struggling to manage health and safety the workplace. Practitioners may consider practical solutions for Occupational Safety Health (OSH) improvement as panacea all major problems. However, they overlook range of other factors that affect success such solutions. The way which solution is developed, designed, implemented, evaluated determines its impact. Participatory one ensuring...
