Abstract

Global supply chains face unprecedented volatility and environmental pressure. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve eco-efficient logistics, aligning competitive performance with environmental goals. The framework explains how AI-driven demand forecasting tools, dynamic routing, warehouse optimization, reverse logistics, and supply chain transparency directly lead to quantifiable results such as fuel savings, carbon emissions reduction, and waste reduction. The findings demonstrate that AI-based analytics can optimize critical functions like dynamic routing and predictive forecasting, leading to reduced fuel consumption, lower carbon emissions, and enhanced operational resilience. The methodology involved extracting common themes and applications from these real-world examples to validate and ground the proposed conceptual model, ensuring it is both theoretically sound and practically applicable. The paper concludes that AI is not only a technical tool but also a strategic path essential to a sustainable, competitive and truly sustainable future for global logistics.

Abstract

As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices gain momentum globally, logistics service providers (LSPs) in Malaysia—particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—face growing pressure to adopt ESG frameworks and align with national sustainability mandates. This study investigates the key internal and external factors influencing ESG adoption among logistics SMEs, focusing on readiness for carbon-conscious reporting under the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide (SEDG). Guided by Stakeholder and Institutional Theory, the study identifies four critical determinants: ESG knowledge and awareness, change readiness, resource availability, and stakeholder engagement.  A structured survey of 156 logistics professionals, combined with pilot testing and exploratory factor analysis, confirmed the reliability and validity of the constructs. Regression analysis revealed that all four factors significantly influence ESG adoption, with resource availability being the most dominant predictor. Findings show that knowledge gaps, resistance to change, limited financial resources, and weak stakeholder collaboration hinder effective ESG integration, especially regarding Scope 1–3 emissions reporting. To address these barriers, a five-year roadmap is proposed to help SMEs implement phased ESG strategies, build internal capabilities, and comply with upcoming regulatory requirements, including a potential carbon tax by 2027.  This research offers a practical framework for enhancing ESG maturity among logistics SMEs and provides actionable recommendations for policymakers, industry associations, and corporate stakeholders to support sustainable transformation in the Malaysian logistics sector.

Abstract

In today’s age of volatility, where the slightest sign of uncertainty can unravel even the most meticulously developed plans, supply chains bear the burden of navigating a storm of intensifying geopolitical tensions, pandemics, environmental disasters, and economic flux. Earlier procurement models, portrayed disruptions as insulated-in-nature, with effects being confined to a certain region or supplier. However, as supply chains become more global and turbulent, a new procurement paradigm is needed, one that prioritizes resilience. Through practical examples and insights, this paper proposes an actionable farmwork for how organizations can become proactivity equipped for modern-day risks through employing a combination of strategies such as supplier diversification, emerging digital solutions, and inventory models, all of which effectively manage risks and maintain agility. It also explores the substantial upfront investment costs and administrative complexities as main deterrents of immediate implementation. However, it goes on to demonstrate how this farmwork establishes the foundations for long-term value, in both adaptability and stability, making them ultimately worthwhile.

Abstract

This study sought to investigate the contribution of driver fatigue to the rate of road accidents in Zimbabwe. The attribution of human error to 90% of fatal road accidents motivated the researchers to seek to establish the relationship between driver fatigue and the chances of it contributing to high rate of fatal road accidents which are a major disruption of the supply chain. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was used as the anchorage theory for the study while the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) was the supporting theory. A Critical Realism philosophy was adopted supported by a cross-sectional design and quantitative approach. A sample of 162 participants was drawn out of a target population of 250 using random sampling from which a response rate of 63% was achieved. Data collection was done using a structured questionnaire; whilst data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22. The major finding from the study was that driver fatigue significantly contributes to the chances of drivers being involved in fatal road accidents. However, in Zimbabwe this area has been to a greater extent ignored in previous research with more attention having been directed to human error which constitutes 97% of causes of road accidents. The conclusion drawn from thus study is that while Zimbabwe’s statistics give little attention to fatigue, it might be the underlying factor of human error as reflected by meta-data from international studies. This paper contributes new insights into the need for further rigorous studies in Zimbabwe on the actual contribution of driver fatigue to fatal road accidents making use of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and new driving technologies.

Abstract

Sustainability, a key concept being implemented in all aspects of commercial activities around the world, aligns with nations’ objective of transition to a greener and cleaner world. A key facet of this transition is “circular flow” or what is commonly understood as recycling. This article establishes the benefits of integrating the same principles in logistics, through a comprehensive analysis of an Environmental, Social, and Governance or ESG aligned circular warehouse model implemented across six GoBolt warehouses in North America. Combining reusable plastic pallets and Gaylords, waste compaction and corrugated recycling, and 5S-based (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) workflow redesign yielded an average annual savings of $54,100 per warehouse, with an estimated 139 tons per year of CO? avoided per warehouse. Additionally, there was 12% productivity enhancement due to reduced picker walking and standardized 5S practices. Comparison with benchmarks of CHEP, iGPS, IFCO, and IKEA indicates that an in-house circular model can deliver competitive carbon reductions and attractive payback periods.

Abstract

This study explores the development of intelligent demand forecasting methods in the context of the rise of rational consumption awareness, to establish the optimal spare parts reuse plan. As consumers pay more attention to sustainability and environmental protection, price and quality are no longer the only considerations; global inflation has also made consumer behavior more conservative, emphasizing budget control and long-term value. In response to the sluggish market demand, this study proposes a intelligent demand forecasting method to help companies understand consumer demand and design product reuse plans that are in line with their values. This study adopts the concept of "integrated forecasting" and designs two methods: (1) Hybrid Stacking (HS) Method: Combining traditional time series and machine learning techniques to improve forecast accuracy; (2) External Information Integration (EI-HS) Method: Incorporating external information into the HS model as an improvement baseline to further reduce forecast errors. Finally, the results of MASE and RGRMSE indicate that the methods proposed in this study hold strong application potential. The research results emphasize that the development of intelligent demand forecasting methods in the era of rational consumption is of key significance and points out the direction of sustainable improvement and expansion in the future, providing companies with more accurate forecasting tools and spare parts reuse decision-making basis.

Abstract

A large number of lifestyle brands, such as Aarong, Yellow, Cats Eye, etc., are driving the apparel market of Bangladesh. Within this market, a huge number of capex procurements are required annually to meet companies' requirements. Each completed requisition includes a lead time, which is a critical factor impacting overall operational efficiency. This study determines the impact of the metrics, requisition quantity, and lead time on delivery performance. The purpose of the study was to discover the relationship between key variables that ease decision making and to establish the development of a concrete knowledge base intended to support strategies for managing diverse requisition quantity and lead time. Consequently, the study served the purpose of improving supply chain efficiency. To discover the relationship, supply chain and procurement theories were addressed. A total of 8,099 procurement records were analysed through the lens of a positivist research paradigm to ensure objectivity. A quantitative method was employed to conduct tests that generate accurate results supporting the purpose of this study. Predictions for the test were formulated to develop connection between lead time, requisition quantity on delivery performance. Chi-square tests were carried out to find out the connection. Findings revealed that the lead time and requisition quantity had a significant impact on delivery performance. Altogether, the study contributes to procurement and supply chain management literature by presenting evidence-based analysis into how operational factors and distinct item types may affect delivery efficiency.
