Supply Chain Research https://ojs.as-pub.com/index.php/SCR <p><strong>ISSN: 3029-1682(Online)</strong><br>Supply Chain Research&nbsp;(SCR) is an open-access journal. SCR refers to the study of raw material, parts, equipment, products, services, and capital flows in the industrial chain. It also includes the digitalization of supply chain, and the main scene is the digitalization of information flow, capital flow and logistics activities in the supply chain. Manuscripts related to the research and application of supply chain are very welcomed.</p> <p><strong>The article processing charges is $800 per article.</strong></p> Arts and Sciences Press en-US Supply Chain Research 3029-1682 Structure of logistics management from a computer perspective https://ojs.as-pub.com/index.php/SCR/article/view/6560 <p>In the context of digitalization, some objectives and functions of logistics management can be transferred to digital twins equipped with modern information technologies and tools. However, significant revision of theory and methodology of management is needed to maximize the potential of these technologies and tools. The problem of effective use of digital logistics management is complicated because some management objects are non-physical related to human activity and difficult to digitize and algorithmize. In this article, based on terminological analysis, as well as descriptive and faceted methods of qualitative research, following results are obtained: a typical structure of logistics management of a supply chain link is developed; the place of logistics management of a focal enterprise in three-link supply chain is determined; features of the structure of logistics management implemented at the junction of supply chain links are clarified; a typical organizational structure of logistics management division is proposed; a system of binary codes of logistics management objects has been developed for their correct transfer into the structure of instances and aggregate of a digital twin. The value of the study lies in the creation of theoretical and methodological prerequisites for the digitalization of non-physical objects of logistics management in order to develop rational management decisions using the digital twin containing blocks: consumer value; management system; chain in statics and dynamics; environmental factors.</p> Alexey Tyapukhin ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2024-09-20 2024-09-20 2 1 6560 10.59429/scr.v2i1.6560 Exploration of humanitarian construction logistics: Lessons from COVID-19 hospitals in China https://ojs.as-pub.com/index.php/SCR/article/view/7963 <p>This paper examines the role of Humanitarian Construction Logistics (HCL) in the swift construction of COVID-19 hospitals in Wuhan, China. These hospital-construction projects had been achieved professionally in despite of their complexities from an organizational and logistical perspectives such as limited time span, integration of multiple equipment and services, and need to coordinate multiple organizations and stakeholders participating in these projects. Drawing from observations and data from this emergency construction projects, we identify key lessons learned and discuss their implications for enhancing future disaster response efforts. Our analysis underscores the significance of effective management, prefabricated unit modules, transportation strategies, materials management, timescale management, and project management in streamlining emergency construction processes. By addressing these aspects, we aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian construction logistics globally, build strategic approach on how to coordinate the logistics flows to and from construction sites in emergency context, and present humanitarian construction logistics as a daily operations issue in humanitarian operations instead of approach in an ad hoc manner.</p> Bashar Khoury Sylvain Chartron Huay LingTay ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2024-11-14 2024-11-14 2 1
