In this paper a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is developed to be used as a decision support tool for the chemical company Perstorp Oxo AB. The intention with the mathematical model is to maximize the profit and the model can be used in the process of planning the supply chain for the company. Perstorp Oxo is classified as a global company in the process industry and is has production sites in Gent, Castellanza, Stenungsund and Perstorp. The site in Stenungsund is in focus in this paper. The company produces chemicals that later are used for example in textiles, plastic and glass production. Perstorp Oxo also uses inventories in other countries for enabling the selling abroad. It has two larger inventories in Antwerp and in Tees and two smaller in Philadelphia and in Aveiro. The larger facilities store five different products and the smaller take care of one type each. To be able to find feasible and profitable production plans for the company we have developed and implemented rolling horizon techniques for a time horizon of one year and used real sales data. The outcomes from the model show the transportation of products between different production sites, the different production rates, the levels of inventory, setups and purchases from external suppliers. The numerical results are promising and we conclude that a decision support tool based on an optimization model could improve the situation for the planners at Perstorp Oxo AB.

Palm oil commodity in Indonesia is the cash crop for smallholder farmers especially in the dry land area. This smallholder has contributed to produce Crude Palm Oil (CPO) about more than 40 percent in the supply chain. This study is aimed to identify downstream and upstream in the line of CPO palm oil. Secondly, is to know the role of the actors in the CPO supply chain and its traceability. This study employed the traceability method of networking of CPO supply chain in Southeast Sulawesi. Indonesia. Two research sites were conducted as the implementation of survey, observation, interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The respondents have chosen from the downstream to upstream of the CPO supply chain. Independent farmers, middlemen, delivery order, and Fruit Fresh Bunches (FFB) mills to produce CPO have been interviewed as the key informant of this research. Traceability study shows that the main source of FFB came from the core of PT. Damai Jaya Lestari both in the research site, plasma, and independent farmer. In North Konawe, the downstream line that farmers sell the FFB to the middlemen then they bring to the agency who has the delivery order from the CPO mills. Meanwhile, in Kolaka District, Independent farmers sold the FFB to the agency who has the contract with the PT. Damai Jaya Lestari in Plasma Village, Poliggona Sub District. In terms of the green economy, waste such empty bunches were limited access for farmers who wanted to proceed with the waste for organic fertilizer and feeding cows. The role and the traceability study show that independent farmers have no access to utilize the waste of empty bunches, no protection from the Damai Jaya Lestari as the CPO mills, and have no institutional farmers as the farmers group.

Competition in various companies encourages practitioners, entrepreneurs, and academics to examine the dynamization of business models. The dynamic study of this business model was driven by its dynamic environment. Dynamic moving environments require companies to be adaptive as quickly as possible. This adaptation encourages different firms to perform a certain strategy of excellence in the face of competition. Strategy Agility becomes a study of practitioners and academics due to its ability to predict and capture opportunities. One of the service industries faced with the dynamic environment within the company is the Logistic Service Provider. Fierce competition, the dynamic type of service, and rapidly changing technology encourage enterprises to always be agile in determining the direction to the business. The purpose of this research is to get a model of the relationship between strategic agility and competitive strategy as a moderator for the improvement of the firm performance. Methods used are quantitative methods. The research results describe the direct relationship between strategic agility and competitive strategy to the firm performance. However, when the competitive strategy is made as a moderator, strategic agility shows a negative effect.

In the last two decades due to fast enhancing technology tools such as Radio frequency identification (RFID), which plays a crucial role in enhancing the ability of many firms to obtain a wide array of information about the site and features of any entity that can be physically tagged and wirelessly scanned within certain technical limitations. Furthermore, RFID technology can be adopted and implemented in a range of diverse functions, duties, and business-to-business systems (B2B) along the value chain, including services, intra-business logistics activities, as well as marketing and after-sales service applications. In total, 26 semi-structured interviews were involved in this study; several interviews were applied with senior, production, operations, facilitation, distribution, logistics, and warehouses managers, senior 3PLs provider managers, and supervisors and warehouses men from Alkasih and five 3PLs providers in Jordan country. Our forecast results for the third-party logistic providers' sample have shown an enormous growth that would reach 38.5% by 2030. Therefore, we have proposed RFID as a business process reengineering technique to mitigate the coming growth instead of expansion that would cost a huge amount of money due to land high costs. Moreover, we have noticed through our visits that the space utilization and warehouse capacity are very high and most of the warehouses are seeking expansion or employing additional operators to handle the current growth.
