This article investigates the impact of traceability of the quality of the information system on humanitarian logistics performance. There are four variables studied, namely electronic data interchange (EDI) adoption, blockchain (BC) adoption, radio frequency identification (RFID) adoption, traceability of humanitarian logistics, and humanitarian logistics performance. This research was conducted to assess disaster logistics services in the implementation of service principles in humanitarian logistics. The conceptual model is modeled by introducing three information technologies as independent variables and the humanitarian traceability and logistics performance as dependent variables. The questionnaire was distributed to 96 respondents, and the data was processed using PLS-SEM 2.0. The results show that EDI adoption has no significant effect on the traceability of humanitarian logistics. In contrast, BC and RFID adoption has a significant effect on the traceability of humanitarian logistics. In addition, this study also shows that humanitarian logistics traceability has a significant impact on humanitarian logistics performance.
Background: Traceability systems and carbon emissions are two important factors involved in production and distribution activities. The involvement of these two factors in production and distribution activities along the supply chain will ensure the safety and quality of food through the manufacture, packaging and distribution of products with minimal costs and in an environmentally friendly way. Objective: This study aimed to develop a model of canned fish food production and distribution integration by considering traceability and carbon emissions to minimize total costs. Method: A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approach was used to develop mathematical models and the optimal solution of the model created was obtained using an open-source spreadsheet solver program. Results: The results show that the proposed models produce the minimum total production and distribution cost with high traceability and low carbon emissions. Conclusions: The sensitivity analysis from this study shows that there is a significant relationship between production, carbon emissions, and the total cost of production-distribution. Moreover, it was concluded that the production level, carbon emission level, and emission threshold can have a significant influence in the generation of the total carbon emissions.
Background: The success of e-commerce cannot be separated from a good delivery experience. Meanwhile, research that discusses the quality of logistics services that serve e-commerce by comparing the quality of its competitors in Indonesia is still little discussed. The case study in this research is two logistic service providers in Indonesia. Methods: This study uses the integration of the SIPA method and Kano Modification. Both SIPA and Kano can determine priority and effective strategies to improve service quality. Results: The use of SIPA can identify the importance of service attributes and compare the performance of the two logistics services. A dynamic cycle of service attributes encourages using Kano Modification in this study to expand opportunities for determining managerial strategies. Conclusions: The results in this study provide insight into the main strategies that must be carried out on attributes considered important and maintain quality to be superior to competitors.

This research applies the application of delivery consolidation in the context of a multi-product and multi-echelon food supply chain, as a strategy to address operational efficiency and cost management. The aim is to implement consolidation in multi-product and multi-echelon distribution systems, in order to optimize product placement and distribution efficiently. The method adopted is the Linear Programming model, which considers key variables such as the number of goods to be sent, delivery route, resource allocation, fleet capacity and delivery time limit. The research results show that shipment consolidation, by scheduling shipments that are delayed until the second or third day, allows combining orders into one large shipment, thereby increasing load and route efficiency, reducing trip frequency, and achieving significant transportation cost savings. This strategy successfully increased load and route efficiency, reduced the number of trips required, and resulted in substantial transportation cost savings. Using this method, the total shipping and storage costs are 1,328,834. This consolidation strategy has proven crucial in optimizing delivery types, in addition to facilitating more effective route planning, reducing travel distances and times, and resulting in significant operational cost savings.
