The logistics sector is subject to profound changes that are caused by techno-logical innovations as well as by structural changes in the implementation of logistics business processes. Therefore, it is important for companies to recognize such changes in an early stage and to prepare for them...

Electro mobility is considered to be a pioneering trend in the field of road traffic to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Because of technical restrictions, which limit the range and loading capacity of vehicles, electro mobility is mostly discussed with regard to passenger cars....

The prototype ORFE of an Online Rail Freight Exchange was developed as part of the CODE24 project. It demonstrates functionalities for a more transparent communication of available transport services and also supports the configuration of multimodal supply chains. The paper describes the efforts...

Only recently researchers have started to focus on the interface of production andoperations management and (corporate) entrepreneurship. The present study builds onthis developing research stream and develops and empirically analyzes a model thatillustrates how a firm’s entrepreneurial...

Sustainable logistics concepts mainly focus on strategicdecision levels for example in supply chain design,warehouse location and standard transport mode selectiondecisions. This paper is addressing a more operativeapproach and analyzing green concepts for day-to-daylogistics decisions, commonly...

In this paper, the authors address the distribution of efficiency gains among partially autonomous supply networkactors in a manner they will accept as fair and as an incentive to cooperation. The problem is economicallysignificant because it requires substantiating efficiency gains in an...

In logistics sustainability concepts such as CO2 footprint measurement, greenlogistics or empty transport reduction are developed and used in relative isolationfrom important future technology trends such as RFID, GPS or processautomation. This research contribution seeks for an integrated view...

Business and information systems engineering (BISE) has established itself as a distinct sub-discipline “between” business sciences and computer science at least in the German-speaking countries. This primarily becomes obvious by two facts. First, the BISE section is one of the largest...

The addressed scientific problem is the purpose to distribute the efficiency gains among partially autonomousactors in a supply web in a manner that the actors accept as fair and thus find it advantageous to cooperate witheach other.There are three reasons why this problem is economically...

Capacity management modelling is a broad field with a huge number of discussion areas andcontributions. Though if applied towards service processes there are even smaller numbers ofmodels and contributions as e.g. gap and yield management models for service production. Furtheron such model...
