Summary: Engineering-to-order (ETO) systems, especially in the Norwegian shipbuilding sector, face high levels of uncertainty in demand and internal processes. A framework for ETO uncertainty reduction, previously only applied in the UK construction industry, is tested for reliability and validity in this replication study. The study categorizes ETO into innovate to order (ITO) and redesign to order (RTO) and identifies supply chain tactics for shipbuilding. The research highlights the reliability of the FORRIDGE principles and expands the set of tactics for ETO uncertainty reduction.

Summary: The dilemmas of resource waste and information dispersion in the construction industry can be attributed to scattered management mode. Construction supply chain (CSC) management provides a solution to enhance construction industrialization, but a lack of comprehensive review of CSC research hinders clarifications of research directions and implementation priorities. This study combines quantitative and qualitative methods to bridge this gap and establishes a framework for achieving CSC resilience.

Summary: This paper reviews literature on modeling and optimization studies of lignocellulosic biomass supply chains with densification processes, finding that baling is the most studied technique and optimization modeling is the most common analysis method. While pelleting and pyrolysis achieve higher density than baling, their role in the overall supply chain has been comparatively less studied. Future research opportunities include integrating mobile densification and introducing comprehensive biomass-to-biofuel supply chain optimization models.

Summary: This study finds that the concept of sustainable supply chains is more established with general agreement on its theoretical foundations. On the other hand, supply chain resilience is relatively less mature. The relationships between the two topics are often incoherent, with confusion on establishment practices and lack of clarity on practices that could advance both areas simultaneously.

Summary: This paper introduces an engineer-to-order (ETO) production model with order book control, which combines a service-oriented design subsystem with a working-unit-oriented production subsystem. The model achieves automatic capacity control and investigates the system's dynamic properties using Control Theory and System Dynamics. It provides guidelines for system managers to prevent instability and demonstrates the advantages of a whole system level order book controller.

Summary: The asymmetric market power between a firm and its partners negatively affects the firm's financial performance. Building relationships with suppliers or customers that have matched market power is the best approach. The strength of the buyer-supplier relationship amplifies the negative impact of asymmetric market power, while the level of relationship embeddedness reduces its negative effect. Moreover, firm-specific institutional, industry, and regional economic heterogeneities also influence the financial impact of asymmetric market power.

Summary: The One-Warehouse Multi-Retailer (OWMR) system is a typical distribution and inventory system. Previous research has focused on heuristic reordering and allocation strategies, which are time-consuming and problem-specific. This paper proposes a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm for OWMR problems, which infers a multi-discrete action distribution and improves performance with a random rationing policy.

Summary: This paper presents a new mathematical formulation for planning and scheduling activities of Engineer-To-Order (ETO) projects, along with a new ETO strategy to reduce the impacts of design uncertainty. The study proposes a hybrid Layered Genetic Algorithm combined with an adaptive Lamarckian learning process (LLGA) and compares it with the branch-and-cut procedure of CPLEX. The results show good performance of the proposed mathematical model for small and medium-sized instances.

Summary: Omnichannel retailers are using stores as distribution centers to provide faster online order fulfillment services. However, in-store picking operations can impact the offline customer experience. To address this, we propose a Dynamic In-store Picker Routing Problem (diPRP) that minimizes customer encounters while fulfilling online orders. Our solution approach combines mathematical programming and reinforcement learning to find efficient picking policies that reduce customer encounters.

Summary: This research conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) and content analysis on Supply Chain Coopetition (SCC) through the PRISMA framework. It examines the theory of coopetition and organizational relationships in intra-firm and inter-firm supply chains, focusing on collaboration between rival manufacturers. The study identifies structures and mechanisms of coopetition, such as buyer-supplier coopetition, supply networks coopetition, and production and distribution/logistics coopetition. It provides a holistic approach to SCC management practices and serves as a guide for future research.
