Due to the highly dynamic markets, an increasing complexity, and individualization of products, efficient and robust logistical processes are difficult to achieve through the use of central planning and control approaches. The aim of the contribution is the design of a decentralized, autonomous...

This paper provides a tractable dynamic stochastic general equilibrium framework with endogenous firm creation and destruction and variable technology utilization to analyze the macroeconomic impact of entry costs and fixed cost subsidies. Based on this setup, we revisit empirical and...

Purpose: Product modularization and supply chain integration have establishedthemselves as efficient methods for complexity management, but a holistic view oftheir effects has rarely been studied. For this reason, we demonstrate a conceptwhich presents these effects along the product life-cycle...

Purpose: The management of B2B supply chains that involve many stakeholders re-quires traceability processes. Those processes need to be secured. Furthermore, quality traceability data has to be transparently shared among the stakeholders. In order to improve the traceability process, we propose...

Purpose: Due to the large number of intermediaries in logistics networks there is avariety of possible failures, frictions and waste of time and money among the logisticsprocess chain. With the ability to provide data securely in near real-time, liketrack and tracing data of goods to every...

Purpose: While e-commerce in general has been growing rapidly for years, food e-commerce is lagging behind in Germany. The common approach of using traditional logistics systems and fulfilment concepts does not lead to long-term success. Con-sidering this problem, success factors are needed as a...

Purpose: The aerospace supply chain is characterized by a high degree of small andmedium-sized suppliers. To stay competitive, suppliers are facing high pressures todigitalize their business but have limited resources available. Furthermore, aerospacesuppliers lack a framework to measure their...
