TL;DR: A review of the literature related to supply chain planning methods under uncertainty is presented in this paper, where the main objective is to provide the reader with a starting point for modelling supply chain under uncertainty applying quantitative approaches.
Abstract: Managing uncertainty is a main challenge within supply chain management. Therefore, it is expected that those supply chain planning methods which do not include uncertainty obtain inferior results if compared with models that formalise it implicitly. This article presents a review of the literature related to supply chain planning methods under uncertainty. The main objective is to provide the reader with a starting point for modelling supply chain under uncertainty applying quantitative approaches. We have defined a taxonomy to classify models from 103 bibliographic references dated 1988–2007. Finally, some conclusions about the works analysed have been drawn and future lines of research have been identified.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse whether environmental issues form a supplier selection criteria of companies when sourcing third party logistics (3PL) services and find that environmental concerns have not been incorporated and at best form a kind of minimum requirement.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to analyse whether environmental issues form a supplier selection criteria of companies when sourcing third party logistics (3PL) services.Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on a total of nine cases, where six buyers and three 3PL are analysed in depth so that data are collected for both parties involved in related dyadic relationships.Findings – While 3PL reports an increasing interest in environmental issues, buying decisions are still made on “traditional” performance objectives, such as price, quality and timely delivery. Environmental concerns have not been incorporated and at best form a kind of minimum requirement. Related cooperation, as asked for when taking a wider supply chain management perspective, could not be identified.Research limitations/implications – The paper has the limitation that only a total of nine companies are analysed. Yet, these companies can be seen as being good representatives of the overall industry. Further, detailed in...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and test a framework of supply chain logistics integration that synthesizes current logistics thought with an established theory of organizational design and demonstrate that superior logistics performance is related to simultaneous integration of internal and external operational processes.
Abstract: The current research was undertaken to present and test a framework of supply chain logistics integration that synthesizes current logistics thought with an established theory of organizational design. The framework portrays performance as an outcome of appropriate alignment between strategy, structure, and processes. The results support the contention that a firm that pursues a relational strategy, develops information and measurement structures to support relational processes, and then uses these tools to implement and execute integrated operations will experience high levels of logistical performance. In addition, the results indicate that superior logistics performance is related to simultaneous integration of internal and external operational processes.
