Summary: In recent years, the supply chain has undergone significant transformations due to various factors such as globalization, the COVID-19 pandemic, advancements in information technology, outsourcing, and offshore production. These changes have made the supply network more complex, particularly with regards to sustainability issues and increased the vulnerability of the supply chain to sustainability-related risks. This study aims to investigate the impact of sustainability-related supply chain risks on suppliers, customers, and the economic performance of businesses in the garment industry in Vietnam. The findings reveal a risk-return trade-off for economic hazards and the positive role of supplier management and supply chain integration methods in managing environmental hazards.

Summary: This article provides an overview of sustainable inventory management models in supply chains and proposes a roadmap for future research. The study reveals a lack of research on incorporating social sustainability into inventory management in supply chains, while environmental sustainability is a growing research area. Future studies should focus on incorporating uncertainty issues into sustainable inventory management models and integrating economic, environmental, and social sustainability decisions. Additionally, complex models and new algorithms and heuristics should be employed to address these issues effectively.

Summary: Integrity is considered as a crucial corporate value, but firms face challenges in upholding it, particularly when it comes to supply chain partners. The concept of Supply Chain Integrity (SCI) helps shift focus towards supply chain integrity and works towards aligning corporate values with supply chain partners. The SCI model represents an evolutionary process to enhance a firm's supply chain sustainability and promote cultural alignment across stakeholders in the supply chain.

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: 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.
