Approccio olonico e sistema logistico-produttivo aziendale per i mercati del XXI secolo
2008
L’impresa industriale deve oggi far fronte a problematiche di rapidità ed efficacia di gestione dei processi, in presenza di frequenti disturbi e cambiamenti negli ordini di produzione. La gestione della Supply Chain (SCM) deve tenere conto di queste tendenze e trovare un paradigma organizzativo-gestionale in grado di fornire all’azienda la richiesta agilità e capacità di sincronizzazione del sistema logistico-produttivo con le nuove caratteristiche dei mercati. Ne i sistemi gerarchici ne quelli eterarchici sono in grado di soddisfare questi requisiti, mancando della necessaria agilità i primi e della capacità di garantire la prevedibilità necessaria alla sincronizzazione i secondi. L'idea …
A Comparative Analysis of the Social Performance of Global and Local Berry Supply Chains
2016
The goal of this paper is twofold: to comparatively analyze the social performance of global and local berry supply chains and to explore the ways in which the social dimension is embedded in the overall performance of food supply chains. To achieve this goal, the social performance of five global and local food supply chains in two countries are analyzed: wild blueberry supply chains in Latvia and cultivated raspberry supply chains in Serbia. The study addresses two research questions: (1) What is the social performance of the local and global supply chains? (2) How can references to context help improve understanding of the social dimension and social performance of food supply chains? To…
Network Dynamics of an Energy Supply Chain: Applicability of the Network Approach to Analysing the Industrial Ecology Practices of Companies
2006
Currently firms face environmental challenges, which require more emphasis on inter-organisational environmental improvement efforts. A field of study of industrial ecology offers some novel approaches for inter-organisational environmental management. It emphasises symbiotic linkages between firms or other organisations in which waste of one actor is used as raw material by others. The industrial network approach has been suggested as a possible framework for developing managerial implications for industrial ecology. This study analyses an example of an industrial ecosystem with notions of the network theory, and concludes that the industrial network approach is useful in analysing and des…

Climate change, vulnerability and the local adaptation strategies of food enterprises in Finland
2015
This chapter discusses vulnerability and the adaptation strategies of Finnish food supply chains in the context of climate change. A case study was conducted in 2012 within three Finnish regions. The people interviewed were food entrepreneurs, the managers of food enterprises and relevant stakeholders. According to the study, food enterprises seem to trust local and decentralised food supply chains as an adaptation strategy for combating climate change. Hence, the case study discusses the benefits and learning challenges of food supply chain localisation and introduces the idea of food supply chains that react proactively to climate change issues. nonPeerReviewed
Measuring the Economic, Environmental, and Social Sustainability of Short Food Supply Chains
2019
The production and distribution of food are among the hot topics debated in the context of sustainable development. Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are now widely believed to be more sustainable in comparison to mass food delivery systems. To date, very little quantitative evidence exists on the impacts of various types of food supply chains. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach, this study assesses the sustainability of distribution channels in short and long food supply chains based on 208 food producers across seven countries: France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Ten distribution channel types are used in this study. To provide a comprehensiv…
Food Security Is None Of Your Business? Food Supply Chain Management In Support Of A Sustainable Food System
2017
Food security is the principal outcome of any given food system and it can be defined in terms of a sustainable food system where the core goal is to feed everyone sustainably, equitably and healthily. A sustainable food system addresses needs for availability, affordability and accessibility, is diverse, ecologically-sound and resilient, and builds the capabilities and skills necessary for future generations. This paper identifies the essential elements of food supply chain management in support of a sustainable food system, which ultimately enhances food security. The existing food supply chain and food system literature is synthesized in order to study the correspondence between public i…

Równowaga długookresowa pomiędzy cenami w łańcuchu dostaw na rynku mleka
2019
Łańcuch dostaw żywności łączy działania, ze sfery pierwotnej produkcji rolnej (rolnika) aż do konsumenta. Obejmuje on producentów, dostawców, firmy transportowe, magazyny, sprzedawców hurtowych i detalicznych, organizacje usługowe oraz konsumentów. Poziomy cen w poszczególnych ogniwach łańcucha dostaw na rynku mleka, ale nie tylko, charakteryzują się cyklicznością. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie, na podstawie danych pochodzących z Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego, występowania długookresowych zależności pomiędzy cenami na rynku mleka w poszczególnych ogniwach łańcucha dostaw. W badaniach wspomnianych zależności pomocny będzie test na występowanie kointegracji Engle’a-Grangera. Zakres czasowy an…
