V Sloveniji se, tako kot drugod po svetu, soočamo s širjenjem virusa SARS-CoV-2, ki je vplival na različna področja naših življenj. Eno izmed področij, ki je bilo prizadeto so tudi oskrbovalne verige živil in zaupanje potrošnikov v oskrbo z živili. V Sloveniji so potrošniki že pred pandemijo v veliki meri kupovali lokalno pridelana živila, so pa raziskave, ki so bile izvedene pred našo, kljub temu zaznale povečanje zaupanja slovenskih potrošnikov do lokalno pridelane hrane zaradi pandemije in njenih posledic. V članku predstavljamo raziskavo, izvedeno meseca oktobra 2021, s katero smo želeli preveriti kakšen je odnos do lokalno pridelane hrane v Sloveniji v času pandemije. Na podlagi pregleda raziskav ostalih avtorjev in naše lastne raziskave, lahko potrdimo, da je pandemija okrepila zaupanje potrošnikov v lokalno pridelana živila.

Reverse logistics has become a competitive need for sustainability. Lack of resources to apply reverse logistics solutions has severely impacted many supply chains’ costs and customer service, making it impossible to meet the expectations of return processing. In those conditions, client demands for higher service quality are the main drivers of effective sustainability operations. This study aims to establish the sustainable reverse logistics service quality (SRLSQ) theoretical framework offered by reverse logistics services providers (RLSPs). The study conducts a systematic methodology protocol by examining reliable academic periodicals using PRISMA guidelines based on the research scope and identified 56 papers from 2011–2022, with the main research focus on SSQ and RLSQ dimensions to develop a research framework. By re-evaluating those factors using the SRLSQ framework and by including sustainability into the service quality approach, this study expanded the practicability of reverse logistic service quality and sustainable service quality. The results point to a knowledge gap when it comes to quantifying the impact of reverse logistics operation process through a triple bottom line approach on customer outcomes, relationship quality (RQ), and mediation of operation risk factor, which could be examined within various contexts in subsequent work.

This paper provides a systematic review of published research on lean logistics, green logistics and the combination of both paradigms. Although prior research on all three topics exists, only a few have focused on the field of logistics as such. The present analysis comprises an examination of 98 scientific articles from 35 international journals, published between the years 1994 and 2015. The published studies are classified by next divisions: journal, paradigm, time distribution, research stream and sector-wise focus.Although key findings indicate that over the last couple of years research on all three topics has increased, a research gap regarding the studies of lean and green logistics when combined, has been identified. For all three topics the domination in research typology has been extracted. The findings indicate that most papers examined on the topic of lean logistics come from the manufacturing industries, whereas for the topic green logistics and a combination of green and lean topics no specific sector was identified.

Integrating electric vehicles in a supply chain and distribution is a viable option when special conditions such as short distance road distribution and environmental considerations as well as small amounts of goods enabling delivery with delivery vans are met. In this paper, possibility of investment in electric vehicles for distribution of local food will be examined and analysed. Safety concerns in electric vehicles will also be addressed and accident consequences and vehicle safety will be analysed and compared with conventional vehicles that use internal combustion engines.
