“…The dedicated mode has the advantage of easy management, while shared mode is better in reducing safety stock and damages of packages. [32] Stakeholders in a traditional PSC could be regulators, converters 3 (or packaging producers), fillers 4 , suppliers, sellers, end customers, end-of-life managers 5 and actors of the transportation channel [33].…”

Automotive industrial groups consider the impacts of packaging very important, mainly focusing on the cost effectiveness and environmentally conscious nature thereof. In the literature, the packaging supply chain is not a significantly researched area as regards the supply of the complete automotive engines. But the selection of packaging and the relevant development process in engine production are among the main elements of the extensive automotive industry, because participants sometimes have the same interests and considerations. This way, decision-making and strategies on using different packaging solutions and systems can be very varied. The reason is that each automotive group practically produces its own engines and transports them to their assembling subsidiaries all over the world. These groups often apply similar logistics policies and supply systems to use, take-back and recover their packaging. This is being driven as much by group strategies as it is by the need to reduce costs and increase efficiency in supply chains. The focus of this paper will be on the components and elements of packaging supply chain management in the field of engine supply for automotive industry groups, and on how the decision-making framework is determined. This paper shows models defining the network process for decision-making within the automotive groups as regards the packaging supply chain.

Integrated packaging design process arises as one key factor that could contribute to increasing the efficiency and sustainability of supply chains. This approach is called "packaging logistics". Another managerial approach that is related to efficiency and sustainability is the implementation of "meta-standards" (ISO 9000 and ISO 14000). As both "packaging logistics" and "meta-standards" can contribute positively towards supply chain efficiency and sustainability, it becomes relevant to examine the relationship between them. In this study, we explore the potential relation between "meta-standards" (ISO 9000 and ISO 14000) and the implementation of the key aspects of "packaging logistics". In addition, we explore the relation between "packaging logistics" and aspects of performance. This is accomplished through an exploratory study of the packaging design process of Spanish manufacturers in the food industry.

“…As transportation adds time and space utility, it could also be used as a strategic differentiator (Martichenko and Taylor, 2006). Packaging is often only seen as a cost component although it can add value to all logistical activities if properly designed (Chan et al, 2006). In the past years, returnable packaging has proven to have economic and environmental advantages compared to its disposable counterpart (González-Torre et al, 2004;Silva et al, 2013).…”

Purpose -This paper brings lean principles outside the walls of the factory and applies them to the overall supply chain with respect to transportation in particular. We present a solution that increases trailer density by transporting components hanging on rails instead of piling them up.Design/method/approach -A calculation model, validated by a case study, illustrates the different cost drivers across the supply chain and reveals the savings and investment expenditures of the new concept. Findings -The results from a case study show that smoothening the flow of products between the different supply chain partners and increasing the trailer density by 25% results in a reduction of 20% in transportation costs. Based on three critical product characteristics, multiple products are researched in a 2³ design to gain insights in the market analysis and the practical use.Practical implications -Looking for innovative ways to transport goods can lead to transportation cost savings, new business models and a smoother flow of products.Originality/value -The model contributes to the literature by increasing the transparency about the drivers that influence the costs of the different players in the supply chain. Moreover, the paper shows the financial impact of innovations in transporting and handling components.
