“…Ahire et al [224] developed a process to optimize the mix of carton size of a big distribution center, aiming to reduce shipping, material and labor costs. Also Singh et al [225] presented a model for carton mix optimization, applied to international LSPs. Freichel et al [226] investigated trends of packaging in OC, identifying three main areas: OC packaging design (protecting goods, customers satisfaction, sustainable solutions); packaging in the logistics process (efficient distribution, ship-from-store solutions); and packaging as an integrator between channels (universal packaging, integration of materials and information).…”

E-commerce is always more diffused as a selling channel around the whole world market, and its importance has increased and continues to increase with the COVID-19 pandemic emergency. It provides enterprises a lot of opportunities, as the importance of physical stores to sell goods is bypassed. However, it has also changed the role of logistics in the supply chain. For this reason, this work aims to identify the main logistics research areas related to e-commerce implementation and the factors and key performance indicators, which should be taken into account for each logistics research area, with particular attention to sustainable aspects. For doing this, a structured and comprehensive literature analysis is carried out. Keywords associated with e-commerce and logistics areas are matched to identify the most interesting works related to its implementation. From the analysis, five main research areas are identified: Supply Chain Network Design (SCND); Outbound Logistics (OL); Reverse Logistics (RL); Warehousing (WR); and IT and data management (E-IT). For each area, key factors, strategies and performance indicators have been identified. Finally, a methodological framework that summarizes the results of the analysis is presented; this is a useful tool for managers to implement or expand their e-commerce business. Many works are focused on one research area, carrying out critical factors, models, and methods to implement that topic. Instead, the methodological framework presented here summarizes multiple research areas from a logistic point of view, identifying for each one input and output variables and how they influence each other.

“…Several recent JBL articles have examined order fulfillment processes involving digital capabilities (Ambra et al 2020; Ballot et al 2021; Ishfaq et al 2021), inventory management approaches (Muir et al 2019; Singh & Ardjmand, 2020), and consumer responses to order fulfillment options (Nguyen et al, 2019; Tokar et al 2020). In this issue, Wallenburg et al (2021) contribute to this growing stream of research by investigating a challenging issue for firms—product returns.…”

“…Third, we shed light on which mechanisms are most likely to explain the potential wage gap. We examine two traditional logistics industries, truck transportation (Miller et al, 2021; Phares & Balthrop, 2022) and warehousing and storage (Autry & Daugherty, 2003; Keller et al, 2020; Singh & Ardjmand, 2020) to quantify potential wage gaps. These two industries represent the majority of the employment in the Transportation and Warehousing sector (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023).…”

The logistics industry in the United States has faced significant labor shortages for the last couple of decades. Women are a source of labor that has been traditionally underrepresented in the major logistics sectors, transportation, and warehousing. We study the workforce composition and potential gender wage gap across these sectors. Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau from 2003 to 2020, we show that women comprise about 4% of the workforce for truck drivers and 21% for warehouse workers. As traditionally measured by economists, there is a 17% gender wage gap among truck drivers and an 11% wage gap among warehouse workers. A regression analysis suggests that the gap is smaller for warehouse workers, which is consistent with theory that an occupation's stability and predictability can reduce or eliminate wage gaps. Further analysis is carried out on specific occupations within the logistics industry and measures the variation across truck transportation and warehousing industries. There is evidence for a declining gender wage gap across both over time, although the gap remains sizable. This paper provides insight on the trends and status of gender differences in labor outcomes in the logistics industry.
