“…Erkut and Verter (1998) offer a comprehensive review on the subject, classifying the literature along the dimensions of risk assessment, routing, facility location and routing, and network design. Moreover, recently Ditta, Figueroa, Galindo, and Yie‐Pinedo (2019) provide a comparative review from the perspectives of data analysis, modeling, and theory. They emphasize the importance of realistic and reliable data availability.…”

Operational risk management (ORM) is critical for any organization, and in the big data era, analytical tools for operational risk management are evolving faster than ever. This paper examines recent developments in academic ORM literature from the data analytics perspective. We focus on identifying present trends in ORM related to various types of natural and man‐made disasters that have been challenging all aspects of life. Although we examine the broader operations management (OM) literature, we keep the focus on the articles published in the well‐regarded OM journals, including both empirical and analytical outlets. We highlight how the use of data analytics tools and methods have facilitated ORM. We discuss the need for data monitoring and the integration of various analytical tools into decision making processes by classifying the literature on application fields, analytics techniques, and the strategies used for implementation. We summarize our findings and propose a process to implement data‐driven ORM with future research directions.

“…The study of the literature shows that a multitude of models have developed to take into account different risks on different parts of the supply chain, to various activities [22][23][24][25]. Thus, decisions at the operational level (for example, a truck driver) will not be the same as those taken at the tactical level (for example, the head of the part of the company), nor even as those taken at the strategic level (for example, the management team).…”

Companies manufacturing, using or transporting hazardous materials (HM) face risks at every link in their supply chain. Industrial activities related to this type of material expose not only the workers, but also the population and environment to serious risks. Logistic management and risk management are often considered independent. However, logistics choices related to hazardous materials mix the two aspects in an inseparable way. In fact, risk management must be synchronized with the choices and logistics strategies of companies. The analysis of the risk relating to the management of these HMs, therefore, requires making methodological choices, but also using a lot of data, which are often incomplete. The achievement of the present study was a real challenge owing to the lack of information and statistics on the use, transportation or storage of HMs in Moroccan territory. The purpose of this study is to provide a portrait of the industrial practices surrounding the management of hazardous materials in Morocco in order to identify the determining factors, specifically those related to health, safety at work, in the logistic choices of companies as well as the different strategies that take into account the variables: storage, transport and quantity, including cost and risk factors. In this context, and to conduct a survey on the logistic choices related to hazardous materials at our country, we have set up a questionnaire that will try to reach the largest number of Moroccan companies. This questionnaire focuses on the practices surrounding: procurement, shipping, storage, outsourcing, risk management, the influence of economic factors on the management of hazardous materials and the elements affecting specifically workers.

“…To evaluate the risk of each alternative, the risk factors associated with HazMat transportation need to be identified first. By means of searching related research papers [9,10,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61], historical transportation and accidents data, and interviewing experienced practitioners who have worked in the first line for over ten years, a hierarchical transportation risk evaluation index system, which has four first-level criteria—Human (u1), Management (u2), Environment (u3), Equipment (u4)—with 13 risk indictors is established, as shown in Figure 2.…”

Evaluation and Selection of HazMat Transportation Alternatives: A PHFLTS- and TOPSIS-Integrated Multi-Perspective Approach

Outsourcing the hazardous materials (HazMat) transportation is an effective way for manufacturing enterprises to avoid risks and accidents as well as to retain sustainable development in economic growth and social inclusion while not bringing negative impacts on the public and the environment. It is imperative to develop viable and effective approaches to selecting the most appropriate HazMat transportation alternatives. This paper aims at proposing an integrated multi-criteria group decision making approach that combines proportional hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (PHFLTS) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to address the problem of HazMat transportation alternative evaluation and selection. PHFLTSs are adopted to represent the congregated individual evaluations in a bid to avoid information loss and increase the reliability of results. Two weight assignment models are then proposed to determine the comprehensive weights of experts and criteria. Furthermore, several novel manipulations of PHFLTS are also defined to enrich its applicability. The TOPSIS method is subsequently extended to the context of PHFLTSs to rank alternatives and choose the best one. Eventually, the feasibility and validity of the proposed approach are verified by a practical case study of a HazMat transportation alternative evaluation and selection decision and further comparison analyses.
