Abstract

Organizational performance is important because it directly impacts the overall success and sustainability of a business. This study aims to investigate the effects of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices on organizational performance in the Zambian beverage industry, using an embedded mixed methods model. Quantitative data was collected using a questionnaire from 32 participants out of 37 and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using STATA Version 14.2. Qualitative data was collected from in-depth interviews with 9 Supply Chain Specialist and Industry Experts, selected based on availability, convenience and volunteering. The results show that Green Purchasing, Green Manufacturing, Green Distribution/Marketing, and Reverse Logistics each had a positive influence on organizational performance. Internal drivers had a significant and positive effect on organizational performance, while external barriers had a negative influence. Stepwise regression revealed that 14.9% of the variations in organizational performance were explained by the model, with internal drivers being the most significant factor. The study concludes that major benefits of applying GSCM practices are reduced production costs, good reputation with the municipalities and law enforcers, and long-term savings due to efficiency in production. The study recommends that companies should increase their knowledge of GSCM practices and engage in more sustainable practices to reduce production costs and prevent further environmental degradation. Future studies could include research in factors that can improve GSCM practices in the Zambian beverage manufacturing sector.

Abstract

The large market for cow's milk makes the order capacity for cow's milk high and will increase the milking process. In the production process, especially the milking process, people still manually use their hands, so fatigue often occurs, especially in people with more than 2 livestock. This causes the production process to be ineffective and the production results are also limited. Creating an automatic milking machine equipped with a milk can, a vacuum tube and a hose. Besides, a topology study will also be carried out based on the model of the machine. The three-unit component will affect the performance of the Milking Machine, especially the milk collector and milk can. Their size needs to be analyzed to get the optimum one. Optimization results for the topology of the milk collector bore diameter showed that the milk flow rate in the milk collector at a bore diameter of 9mm was 6,154 ltr/min, at a bore diameter of 14 mm was 26,566 ltr/min and at a bore diameter of 19mm was 66,128 ltr/min (conditions without being connected to hose). The shape of a milk can with a reduction of 30% from the initial weight, which is 3,358 kg to 2,350 kg, is owned by a milk can with the most optimal cone-dome tube shape. The difference in weight with the tube is generally 1,008 kg. The quantity flow when installed with a 2m long hose is 6,729 ltr/min

Abstract

The study looked into the implementation of green supply chain management practices in Zimbabwean Organizations. Since 2000, Zimbabwe has witnessed a significant number of business closures, which has consequently impeded the adoption of green supply chain practices. The study was guided by the objectives that included investigating the need to implement green supply chain management, examining implementation success factors that promote green supply chain management, and identifying the challenges faced in promoting green supply chain management. Interpretivism research philosophy and descriptive research design were adopted in this study. A specific population was drawn from 150 employees of selected Zimbabwean logistic companies. Non-probability sampling methods were adopted in this study. The findings on climate concern as the need for green supply chain implementation show that 10% strongly disagree with that view, 35% were neutral, and the other 30% strongly agreed. Findings on green manufacturing technology practice as one of the success factors that promote green supply chain management showed that 15% strongly disagreed with the view, 30% were neutral, and the other 30% strongly agreed. The findings on regulatory challenges faced in promoting green supply chain management show that 10% strongly disagree with that view, 35% were neutral, while the other 30% strongly agreed. This study demonstrates that green supply chain management is crucial for environmental protection, mitigating pollution, and addressing climate-related challenges. It recommends that organizations and other stakeholders in Zimbabwe develop various strategies to enhance the implementation of green supply chain practices.

Abstract

The study assessed the influence of warehouse management practices on service delivery in Zimbabwean urban local authorities. The study was underpinned by three theories, namely the theory of inventory and production, the application control theory and adaptive structuration theory of warehouse management practice problems. The study was informed by post positivism philosophy. The study employed cross-sectional descriptive survey and data was gathered from respondents using structured questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess data reliability. Five hypotheses that passed the validity and normalcy tests were examined using structural equation modelling. For data analysis, SPSS version 21 and AMOS version 21 were utilized. The statistical analysis and results demonstrated a correlation between the independent variables (enterprise resource planning, order processing, inventory lead time and materials handling on service delivery). The analysis showed that development and implementation of service delivery in the local authorities has been marred with challenges of declined warehouse management practices. The findings showed that urban local authorities’ service delivery has been struggling to perform as anticipated due to problems of fluctuating inventories, inaccurate forecast, poor responsiveness to customer’s needs and lack of proper technological systems resulting to poor services delivered to tax payers. The study concluded that warehouse management practices have a strong influence on service delivery for urban local authorities. The study recommended study the adoption of some strategic stance towards warehouse management practices. It was also reckoned that urban local authorities need to deliberately adopt electronic warehouse management practices to enhance service delivery.

Abstract

Taytay Rizal is known as the “Garment Capital of the Philippines” and is very popular among bargain-hunting shoppers. The garment industry is one of the major contributors to the municipalities’ economic growth. The emergence of fast fashion trends made the garment business in the municipality very lucrative. The industry, however, is highly competitive necessitating efficient management of planning of costs, schedules, and resources. The Critical Path Method (CPM) is an operations research technique that is useful for managers in managing projects and creating accurate project schedules. It is very useful in making optimal decisions in scheduling and determining critical activities to ensure the project’s earliest finish. This research aims to determine the project duration, costs, and critical path for a garment business startup using the POM-QM application for Windows. Descriptive research method was used where data was collected through literature reviews, direct observation, and interviews of garment shop owners and garment sub-contractors. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of critical path method is necessary to complete the garment business project on time. The entire project will require 96 days of completion in normal time and a 15.67 percent increase in the garment business project costs was observed to shorten the project duration to 52 days. This study is limited to the garment shop owners and garment sub-contractors in Taytay Rizal and is further limited to garment business projects for ladies’ blouses and dresses.

Abstract

Effective inventory management is crucial for pharmacies because it guarantees the consistent availability of pharmaceutical products and minimizes the risk of stickouts or overstock situations, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction. This study aimed to determine the inventory management practices of small-scale pharmacies in selected towns in Cavite, Philippines. The researchers employed descriptive research and a purposive sampling technique. This study used 50 legally registered small-scale pharmacies. The findings revealed that most of the participants were under sole proprietorship with one to nine employees and estimated assets of P3,000,000 and below and have been in operation for one to three years and ten years and above. Furthermore, the predominant inventory management practice in terms of sourcing is Economic Order Quantity (EOQ). Fast Moving, Slow Moving, Non-Moving (FSN) Analysis, and First Expiry, First Out (FEFO) are common storage methods. Moreover, First Expiry, First Out (FEFO) is frequently utilized in selling. This study may provide related, timely information, analysis, and results that may serve as a foundation for the business to grasp on what to continue, enhance, and implement in their inventory management practice, which might also contribute to the efficient and effective movement of products and to cater to the needs of the customers. Thus, the researchers recommended modifying the existing inventory management practices employed in sourcing, storing, and selling. This adaptation aims to effectively monitor and control the movement of inventories from the moment of acquisition to the moment of transaction.

Abstract

Uncertainties, including the COVID-19 epidemic, and variations in demand affect the oil and gas sector. Owing to the reliance on various suppliers, oil and gas projects require effective supply chain management. Ineffective management can result in overspending, delays, and legal issues. This study examined how supply chain management is affected by changes in the sector. This study investigated the connections between information technology, strategic planning, dynamic management competencies, and managerial performance in oil and gas projects. Purposive sampling was used in the study, with managers or heads of supply chain departments as the target audience. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to evaluate the data obtained from an online survey and test the proposed correlations between the research variables. The findings demonstrated that management performance was positively impacted by strategic planning and information technology through the increased dynamic capacities of managers. This study contributes by combining information technology, strategic planning, and dynamic capabilities into a unified model. Results shed light on how supply chain management is impacted by changes in the sector. Useful recommendations are provided for businesses looking to enhance supply chain performance despite difficulties.
