TL;DR: This paper proposes a stochastic programming model and solution algorithm for solving supply chain network design problems of a realistic scale and integrates a recently proposed sampling strategy, the sample average approximation scheme, with an accelerated Benders decomposition algorithm to quickly compute high quality solutions.
1,044 citations
TL;DR: The purpose is to provide a bridge between academic researchers and warehouse practitioners, explaining what planning models and methods are currently available for warehouse operations, and what are the future research opportunities.
847 citations
TL;DR: An extensive literature review of strategic production-distribution models is presented, placing special emphasis on models for global logistics systems, addressing their lack of features, and identifying opportunities for further research in this area.
770 citations
TL;DR: A detailed survey of the research on warehouse design, performance evaluation, practical case studies, and computational support tools is presented, including the identification of the limits of previous research and of potential future research directions.
562 citations
TL;DR: The research develops an integrated design methodology based on primal decomposition methods for the mixed integer programming formulation that allows a natural split of the production and transportation decisions and the research identifies the necessary information flows between the subsystems.

TL;DR: The results suggest that integrated IT infrastructures enable firms to develop the higher-order capability of supply chain process integration, which results in significant and sustained firm performance gains, especially in operational excellence and revenue growth.
Abstract: Best practice exemplars suggest that digital platforms play a critical role in managing supply chain activities and partnerships that generate performance gains for firms. However, there is limited academic investigation on how and why information technology can create performance gains for firms in a supply chain management (SCM) context. Grant's (1996) theoretical notion of higher-order capabilities and a hierarchy of capabilities has been used in recent information systems research by Barua et al. (2004), Sambamurthy et al. (2003), and Mithas et al. (2004) to reframe the conversation from the direct performance impacts of IT resources and investments to how and why IT shapes higher-order process capabilities that create performance gains for firms. We draw on the emerging IT-enabled organizational capabilities perspective to suggest that firms that develop IT infrastructure integration for SCM and leverage it to create a higher-order supply chain integration capability generate significant and sustainable performance gains. A research model is developed to investigate the hierarchy of IT-related capabilities and their impact on firm performance. Data were collected from 110 supply chain and logistics managers in manufacturing and retail organizations. Our results suggest that integrated IT infrastructures enable firms to develop the higher-order capability of supply chain process integration. This capability enables firms to unbundle information flows from physical flows, and to share information with their supply chain partners to create information-based approaches for superior demand planning, for the staging and movement of physical products, and for streamlining voluminous and complex financial work processes. Furthermore, IT-enabled supply chain integration capability results in significant and sustained firm performance gains, especially in operational excellence and revenue growth. Managerial initiatives should be directed at developing an integrated IT infrastructure and leveraging it to create process capabilities for the integration of resource flows between a firm and its supply chain partners.
