Optimising supply chain management can help to reduce food waste. This paper describes how intelligent packaging can be used to reduce food waste when used in supply chain management based on quality-controlled logistics (QCL). Intelligent packaging senses compounds in the package that correlate with the critical quality attribute of a food product. The information on the quality of each individual packaged food item that is provided by the intelligent packaging can be used for QCL. In a conceptual approach it is explained that monitoring food quality by intelligent packaging sensors makes it possible to obtain information about the variation in the quality of foods and to use a dynamic expiration date (IP-DED) on a food package. The conceptual approach is supported by quantitative data from simulations on the effect of using the information of intelligent packaging in supply chain management with the goal to reduce food waste. This simulation shows that by using the information on the quality of products that is provided by intelligent packaging, QCL can substantially reduce food waste. When QCL is combined with dynamic pricing based on the predicted expiry dates, a further waste reduction is envisaged. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…On the other hand, finished products figure (Fig.4b) shows that the production rate is higher than customers' demand rate and causes inventory of finished goods (represented by shaded area). In addition, the finished goods deliver to retailer using multi-shipment delivery policy [18]. Hence, the total cost of finished goods (8) is composed by delivery cost per unit time, set up cost and holding cost per unit time.…”

Abstract-Research on procurement-production systems for deteriorating items has been done. The majority of studies assume that the perishable characteristics affect only the quantity of inventoried items. For food products, however, their quantity remains constant during their shelf life period, but the quality deteriorates over time. This paper proposes a new procurement-production model incorporating this situation. The quality change behavior of food products is approached differently depending on their forms either as raw materials or finished goods. As raw materials, the kinetic model is used to represent the quality degradation during storage time, while as finished goods the shelf-life dependent pricing is utilized to describe the value loss due to the quality perception of customers. A mathematical model representing the integrated procurement-production of raw materials and finished goods at a manufacturer is established in this research. The objective is to maximize the total profit per unit time of the system by controlling a number of variables, namely the production cycle (T), the number of raw materials' procurement over one production cycle (m) and the number of finished goods delivery over one production cycle (n).Index Terms-Deteriorating items, food inventory, procurement-production system, quality loss, value loss. I. INTRODUCTIONEver since EOQ (Economic of Quantity) inventory control has been introduced, many researchers still develop it to solve various inventory problems. Conventionally, economic lot-size of raw materials was decided separately from finished product and this may lead to sub-optimization. It is because demand for raw materials depends on production schedule of finished products. Later, Goyal [1] developed an integrated inventory model for raw material and finished product. This research gave the first contribution in the field of integrated procurement-production (IPP) systems.Recently, research in the field of IPP system receives significant attention from scholars and many inventory models has been developed to accommodate this issue [2]. Goyal and Deshmukh [3] developed a model for IPP systems in just in time JIT environment to minimize set up time. And later, Lee [4] extend the IPP to an integrated supply chain problem by integrating the economic lot size of raw material, manufacturing set up and finished products. However, those studies assume that items can be stored infinitely, while in Manuscript received November 5, 2012; revised January 10, 2013.

For such items, the quality degradation during the storage time can lead ...

Abstract. In this paper, we investigated a transportation network of a tri-layer Halal meat supply chain (HMSC) in which Halal meat transportation process was monitored by a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) communication system to ensure safety and integrity of Halal meats. This monitoring system is subject to an extra cost in investment that needs to be taken into account. Thus, a multi-objective linear programming model (MOLPM) was developed aiming to minimize the total cost in transportation and number of transportation vehicles and maximize the service level in product quantity as requested by abattoirs and retailers. The facility location-allocation problem in farms, abattoirs and retailers needs also to be addressed in relevance to the quantity flow of products from farms to abattoirs and from abattoirs to retailers. The utility function method was employed to obtain Pareto-optimal solutions and the global criterion method was used for searching the most suitable Pareto solution by minimizing the distance to its ideal objective value. The research work shows that the developed model can be useful for supply chains design through a case study based on numerical results.
