Paper aims: This paper aims to identify the degree of interest and expected return time on investment in Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data Analytics (BDA) technologies by Brazilian logistics companies. Originality: A logistics system that meets the requirements imposed by Industry 4.0 is known as Logistics 4.0. According to the current scientific literature, IoT and BDA technologies are the most promising for the Logistics 4.0 applications. Studies on the adoption of these technologies in Brazil are still embryonic and this paper collaborates to narrow this knowledge gap. Research method: Exploratory research was conducted using the quantitative approach. Main findings: The evidence of the interest in investment in IoT and BDA by Brazilian logistics companies, confirming the current literature. Implications for theory and practice: The identification of the intended practical applications for Iot and BDA, as well as the expected difficulties in the implementation of these Technologies.
A logística reversa ganha importância cada vez maior tanto no meio acadêmico quanto entre os profissionais de supply chain, não só por ser um dos instrumentos para a prática da sustentabilidade, como também por seu papel estratégico em muitos segmentos econômicos. Diversos trabalhos mostram como uma logística reversa eficiente pode diminuir custos e propiciar vantagem competitiva às empresas. Da mesma forma, o comércio eletrônico vem apresentando crescimento expressivo em muitos países e, por sua própria natureza apresenta taxas de retorno muito maiores que o comércio tradicional. Contudo, apesar da importância da operação de logística reversa para o comércio eletrônico, não se encontram trabalhos que explorem esse tema na literatura. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever o processo de logística reversa do maior varejista virtual do mercado brasileiro, mostrando sua evolução, analisando seu desempenho e identificando suas principais deficiências. Conclui-se com a apresentação de sugestões para melhorias e implantação de um sistema mais eficiente.
Stockouts remain a significant retail problem. Progress has been limited, as estimates of stockout rates in the past forty years have consistently averaged above 8 percent. The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance and extent of the stockout problem in the supermarket sector in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, from the perspective of the supermarket managers themselves. Results suggest that the level of stockouts is high. Generally, the suppliers are mentioned as being the ones mainly responsible for stockouts. These results suggest that managers have significant opportunities to reduce retail stockouts by taking preventative actions.
