Summary: This paper focuses on waste reduction in the dairy distribution chain by improving the inventory management system using modern information and communication technologies (ICT). Through testing and verifying a case study with simulation modeling, it is confirmed that coordinated inventory management supported by modern ICT can significantly improve the sustainability of the food supply chain.

Summary: This study aims to understand the impact of the metaverse on supply chain and operations management (SCOM) and proposes a framework for metaverse SCOM. The development of the metaverse could result in the co-existence of physical SCOM, metaverse SCOM, and SCOM for coordination of the physical and metaverse worlds. New research areas and performance measures can emerge in the field of metaverse SCOM.

Summary: The study found that the integrated system performs better in terms of first-market sales and production lot size, while the decentralized system is superior in second-market sales and refurbishing lot size. Channel conflict issues lead to higher prices for refurbished items in the integrated system. Efforts to increase second-market sales may harm overall supply chain profit. The third-party refurbisher can achieve better operational performance in the decentralized system, leading to improved environmental performance.

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: This paper investigates the impact of supply disruption risk on inventory decisions and commitment strategies in a two-period supply chain model. The results show that supply risk affects the retailer's inventory holding motivations, with price commitment suppressing inventory holding motivations and inventory commitment suppressing inventory shifting motivations. Additionally, under high cost and risk, only the manufacturer holds inventory, while the retailer does not hold inventory under price commitment.

Summary: This paper presents a multi-period decision-making framework for procurement managers to develop an optimal supply inventory strategy under uncertain supply conditions. By incorporating financial options valuation techniques, American options valuation method, and Monte Carlo simulation technique, the model remains robust to various stochastic variables influencing inventory management decisions. A case study based on dairy supply chain data demonstrates how decision-makers can appropriately incorporate uncertainties into the decision-making framework.

Summary: Motivated by a dairy supply chain case, this study examines the management of deteriorating inventories in a three-echelon supply chain network with a local retailer having multiple customers. The customers are divided into two clusters in the downstream with different, uncertain demand functions: many small ordinary customers and few large premier customers. The goal is to determine the optimal inventory policy considering the time-sensitive deterioration rate of the product. The model is formulated using queuing theory and finite-horizon Semi-Markov process, and an integrated inventory system at the network level. Two solution approaches, adaptive Invasive Weed Optimization and Adaptive Heuristic Method, are designed to solve the nonlinear and nonconvex problem, with the former providing better solution quality and the latter being faster in computation. Sensitivity analyses show that perishability has a greater impact than uncertainty when facing both factors.
