This study analyses and discusses how the unique cargo movements in Japan and changes in the social environment during the COVID-19 pandemic have affected social life. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, cargo movements in Japan have undergone significant changes. This study analyses cargo movements in Japan by showing correlation coefficients to indicate the extent to which each industry was affected by the spread of the new coronavirus to infected persons. The heightened awareness of the pandemic caused by the state of emergency led to the closure of many stores and a decline in outbound shipments. Although the volume of incoming shipments increased, the volume of outgoing shipments did not. As a result, warehouse vacancy rates declined. Therefore, the study revealed that distribution centers in Japan are becoming more self-sufficient, and cloud-based logistics information systems are becoming more widely used.

The logistics and delivery industry is facing challenges such as high transportation costs, difficulty in meeting customer demands, and environmental concerns. However, the integration of drone and autonomous vehicle technology can address these challenges by reducing transportation costs, increasing speed and reliability of delivery, and improving efficiency. The use of drones and autonomous vehicles can bring significant benefits such as increased efficiency, cost savings, improved safety, increased accessibility, and real-time tracking. Despite the potential benefits, there are still regulatory, technical, and financial barriers to overcome before a widespread adoption of these technologies. The use of drones and autonomous vehicles in the logistics and delivery industry is rapidly growing, with companies like Amazon, UPS, DHL actively experimenting with the use of these technologies. However, there are several challenges and limitations that must be overcome before they can be widely adopted, such as safety and regulatory requirements, weather and environmental conditions, battery life and range, navigation, and public perception.

This study analyses key successful factors (KSFs) affecting health supply chains using a novel ISM-MICMAC methodology. Initially, KSFs were collected from past articles, which were later analyzed through the ISM-MICMAC methodology. Healthcare technologies (HCTs) are regarded as innovative and fastest-growing technologies and have seen advancement in the last few decades. Successful and sustainable delivery of health services is only possible through an effective supply chain and logistics network. However, HCTs confront pressure in healthcare supply chains due to different issues. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate KSFs affecting the successful delivery of HCTs supply chains. After obtaining data from experts, interpretive structural modeling (ISM) results indicated that initial capital, top management commitment, training & experience, new technology and information, information quality, and strategic partnership with suppliers are the most crucial KSFs HCTs supply chain in the Pakistani context. Furthermore, MICMAC analysis categorized KSFs with the help of their driving and dependence power. These results support health strategists and policymakers to understand the severity of the identified top five KSFs and act as a moderator to take care of these KSFs, which would ultimately contribute to the successful delivery of the health care supply chain and improvement of critical health services. This study's results would also be helpful for the supply chain managers of the manufacturing industry in the Pakistani context. This research is one of the initial studies to precisely explore KSFs affecting health supply chains using a novel ISM-MICMAC and categorize KSFs with the help of their driving and dependence power by applying MICMAC analysis in the Pakistani SCM context.

Background: Green supply chain management (GSCM) practices are vital to environmental protection. Many large-scale companies claim that GSCM applications are implemented in their business (with ISO 14001 documents, advertisements, etc.). The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationships between GSCM applications and the operational, environmental, and financial performance of the business. In addition, GSCM practices applied in the business ensure that what is done from the perspective of the final customer. It also determines the external pressures that affect the businesses most in protecting the environment. Methods: The study consists of two parts. The data in the first part includes the lower, middle and senior managers working in the construction sector operating in Turkey. The data in the second part includes the final customers located in Yenice, Çanakkale. Results: GSCM applications affect the operational, environmental, and financial performance of the business positively. Additionally, similar results were obtained for the final customers. However, there are differences in the degree of impact of both outcomes. Conclusions: GSCM applications in Turkey protect the environment while searching for the efficiency of the business. However, it seems that the GSCM applications of the business are not fully informed or understood by the final customers. In addition, business employees see that the first factor that will push people to become environmentalists is customer pressure, and the second is the pressure of nongovernmental organizations. The final customers, on the other hand, give priority to environmental awareness first and nongovernmental organizations second. State authority is in the third place.

Background: The logistics market performance of developing countries has been measured by the Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index [AEMLI] report since 2014. The main objective of this study is to propose a new model to assess the logistics market performance of developing countries and rank them based on this performance. Correspondingly, the AEMLI indicators were selected as the main criteria for assessing the logistics market performance of developing countries in this study. Methods: In the current study, the AEMLI indicators, which are domestic logistics opportunities [DLO], international logistics opportunities [ILO], business fundamentals [BF] and digital readiness [DR], were used as criteria to assess the logistics market performances of developing countries. First, the weights of the criteria were computed by a combination of subjective [SWARA] and objective [CRITIC] methods. Then, the CoCoSo method was used to rank developing countries according to their logistics market performance. Results: The findings indicate that BF is the most significant criterion, followed by ILO, DR and DLO. Based on the results of the proposed model, China, India, the United Arab Emirates [UAE], Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia had the best logistics market performance in 2022, while Angola, Myanmar, Mozambique, Venezuela, and Libya had the worst logistics market performance in 2022. Additionally, some differences in the ranking of developing countries according to logistics market performance can be observed in the proposed model compared to the AEMLI 2023 report. Conclusion: To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to examine logistics market performance through the combination of two weighting methods (both subjective and objective). The current study also contributes to the existing literature by providing insight into logistics market performance for carriers, shippers, distributors, policy makers, and others who focus on the world’s emerging markets.

Zapotrzebowanie transportowe z roku na rok zwiększa się. Dzieje się tak z powodu wzrostu produkcji i konsumpcji. Czym dłuższy jest łańcuch dostaw, tym większe są możliwości wystąpienia w nim zakłóceń, gdyż wszystkie operacje wiążą się z ryzykiem. Jednakże o ryzyku w kontekście łańcucha dostaw i zarządzania nim mówi się od niedawna. Niestety żadna branża nie jest odporna na przewidywalne i nieprzewidywalne zakłócenia, które wywołują straty (np. zaginięcie towaru). Z punktu widzenia przewoźników istotna byłaby możliwość przewidzenia wystąpienia np. uszkodzenia towaru. Artykuł koncentruje się na wykorzystaniu metod uczenia maszynowego do przewidzenia ryzyka uszkodzeń towarów (takich jak sprzęt RTV, AGD czy telefony/komputery) w transporcie drogowym. W ramach badań wykorzystano pięć inteligentnych metod: regresję logistyczną, maszynę wektorów nośnych (SVM); drzewo decyzyjne; naiwny klasyfikator bayesowski; AdaBoost. Natomiast celem jest przedstawienie koncepcji oraz wymienionych metod uczenia maszynowego, miar oceniających wydajność modeli oraz wyników związanych z przeprowadzonym badaniem. Postawiony cel zdeterminował wybór metod badawczych – wykorzystano analizę literatury oraz programowanie. W ostatniej części artykułu przedstawiono wyniki otrzymane z analizy pięciu modeli. W ramach badań ustalono, że najlepszą zdolność predykcyjną ma AdaBoost.

The transport demand is increasing year by year. This is because of the increase in production and consumption. The longer the supply chain is, the more likely it is to be disrupted, as all operations involve risks. However, risk in the context of the supply chain and its management has recently been discussed. Unfortunately, no industry is immune to predictable and unpredictable disruptions that affect losses (e.g. loss of goods). From the point of view of carriers, it would be important to be able to predict the occurrence of, for example, damage to the goods. The article focuses on the use of machine learning methods to predict the risk of damage to goods (such as electronics, household appliances or telephones/computers) in road transport. The research used five intelligent methods such as: logistic regression; support vector machine (SVM); decision tree; naive Bayesian classifier; AdaBoost. The aim of the paper is to present the concept and the above-mentioned methods of machine learning, measures assessing the performance of models and the results related to the conducted research. The set goal determined the choice of the research methods – literature analysis and programming were used. The last part of the article presents the results obtained from the analysis of five models. The research established that AdaBoost has the best predictive ability.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań odzwierciedlające istotę optymalizacji w logistyce i wymagania z tym związane. W praktyce – w ocenie autora – pojęcie to jest nadużywane ze względu na brak świadomości, że w większości sytuacji decyzyjnych dąży się do racjonalizacji działalności logistycznej, optymalizacja w decyzjach logistycznych powinna zaś polegać na jednoznacznym określeniu kryterium i wykorzystaniu określonego modelu obliczeniowego. Artykuł składa się z trzech części. W pierwszej z nich zostały przedstawione cechy wspólne i różnice racjonalizacji i optymalizacji. Druga część zawiera wyniki badań odzwierciedlające miejsce modeli optymalizacyjnych w typologii modeli. Część trzecia przedstawia logistyczne modele optymalizacyjne najczęściej wykorzystywane w praktyce przez menedżerów ds. logistyki. Jednym z priorytetów menedżerów ds. logistyki jest dążenie do zwiększania efektywności ekonomicznej procesów logistycznych. Wielowymiarowość logistyki niejako naturalnie komplikuje podejmowanie decyzji, a poszukiwanie rozwiązania optymalnego – optymalnej decyzji logistycznej – nie jest przedsięwzięciem jednoznacznym, oczywistym. Zasadne jest zatem określenie warunków, jakie należy spełnić, aby mówić o podejmowaniu decyzji optymalnych. Opisana sytuacja jest sytuacją problemową, która w zasadniczy sposób zdeterminowała badania i układ treści artykułu jako efektu tych badań.

The article presents the results of research reflecting the essence of optimization in logistics and the requirements related to it. In practice – in the author's opinion – this term is overused due to the lack of awareness that in most decision-making situations, the aim is to rationalize logistics activities and optimization in logistics decisions should consist in clearly defining the criterion and using specific computational model. The article consists of three parts. In the first of them, common features and differences of rationalization and optimization were presented. The second part contains the results of research reflecting the place of optimization models against the background of model typologies. The third part presents logistic optimization models most often used in practice by logistic managers. One of the priorities of logistics managers is to strive to increase the economic efficiency of logistics processes. The multidimensionality of logistics somehow naturally complicates decision-making and the search for an optimal solution – the optimal logistics decision – is not an unambiguous, obvious undertaking. It is therefore reasonable to define the conditions that must be met in order to talk about making optimal decisions. The described situation is a problematic situation that fundamentally determined the research and the arrangement of the content of the article as the result of this research.

The study is aimed at solving the problem that has arisen in Ukraine in the field of household waste management, namely the generation, accumulation, storage, processing and disposal of waste. This issue is of particular importance for the population of each country, which is explained by the extremely negative impact of waste and landfields on the health and quality of life of the population, as well as the ecological situation of the respective territories. The purpose of the study is to improve the sorting, logistics and secondary use of solid household waste in Ukraine by adapting the waste management system in Ukraine to EU requirements. As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the volumes of waste generation are quite significant in different countries, their morphological composition varies depending on the level of economic development of countries, the level of application of advanced technologies, etc. The authors’ logically ordered scheme of domestic waste management in Ukraine showed a number of shortcomings: lack of deep separation of waste and practically no motivation to use solid waste for energy. As a result of the research, the authors suggested using eight containers for sorting household waste, which will become the basis for its further efficient use as a secondary resource. The authors proposed a system for improving the logistics chain of waste management, in particular, proposed vacuum transportation of sorted waste to processing lines, which will ensure the environmental friendliness of useful disposal processes. An analysis of the experience of the secondary use of solid waste in different countries showed the prevalence of energy utilization of waste, the current level of which in Ukraine is insignificant. In connection with the invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the volumes of waste generation of all types increased. There is an urgent need to use the bioenergy potential of waste in connection with the energy crisis caused by hostilities and fuel shortages. The concept of sustainable development of the field of solid waste management, which is based on economic, social, ecological and energy effects, with the interaction of which the phenomenon of synergy takes place, is substantiated.

Purpose: The aim of the paper was the identification of 4.0 competences that should be characterized by logistics workers in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Design/methodology/approach: First step was the desk research analysis of source material (monographic studies, publications and reports). The second step were primary (fragmentary) explanatory, descriptive and explanatory, focused on the implementation of one research goal. The method used in the course of the study was the "user-centric" CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interview). Findings: Technologization and robotization require from employees to acquire new digital competences. Studies show that logistics workers are aware of the needed change. There is a need to acquire competences 4.0 which can consist of cognitive, informative and technical competences. Research limitations/implications: The main limitation of the research was the availability of employees in logistics companies and the precise division of enterprises in which the respondents were employed. In the available statistical summaries and address databases, there is no division taking into account the place of logistics as an element of business activities in enterprises. Practical implications: Research can be also a signpost for employers of what kind of competences should be developed in the future in the face of upcoming economy 5.0 and society 5.0. Originality/value: The article can be a road-map for sustainable digital transformation taking into account not only machines but also human beings.

This study aims to identify a model for building a resilient supply chain in a company testing engine oil samples. Unstructured face-to-face and structured remote interviews were used as the research methods. The proposed contextual research procedure allows for the elucidation of the content of the components of the final resilient supply chain model and may facilitate theory building on the basis of future multiple case studies. As a result of the research, it was found that at the level of the described chain, its strength and continuity of flow are based on the durability of relationships with suppliers, speed, trust, and information sharing, the role of which has been explained in relation to the nature of the supply chain. Due to the nature of the chain, building its resistance on the basis of agility, which is most often indicated in model approaches, has no justification in this case. It was also established that in this process, 4.0 technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cloud technologies are more important for management at the level of the entire corporation than at the level of the tested chain. The analysis covered the supply chain embedded in the industry, which (according to the author’s knowledge) was not discussed in the context of logistics processes in world literature. Therefore, the results of the work undertaken are of great cognitive value.

In the era of dynamically developing unmanned systems and standoff ammunition, special attention should be concentrated on a new way to increase the viability of aviation differ from the concept of centralized single-capability air bases with advanced anti-aircraft systems. The concept of diversification of airports and landing sites, with the simultaneous location of multi-domain aviation task forces there, creates information saturation of the potential enemy and increases survivability of the force. Air bases become centers responsible for development of capabilities in order to establish properly prepared air forces task groups, capable to operate both closer to the FEBA (Forward Edge of Battle Area) and deeper into the own territory. This requires the creation of decentralized appropriate multi-domain logistics support systems. Provision based on autonomous logistic elements composed with resource packages located at appropriate operation level to firmly, flexibly and quickly secure aviation operations. The key is to depart from the philosophy of conducting operations, using specialized task groups of people and equipment, towards comprehensive multimodal and modular packages of combat and logistic capabilities.
