“…To analyse traceability enabled by the implementation of the EPCIS standard and RFID technology, food supply chains were modelled as logistical chains consisting of links, traceability partners and events. A link connects two or several partners, representing either the physical movement or the information flow linked to a traceable resource unit (TRU) of goods (Senneset et al, 2010). Each link is set by the two main categories, external and internal traceability, which exist in food supply chains.…”

Purpose The paper explores the potential effects on logistic operations of implementing the Electronic Product Code Information Service (EPCIS) standard and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to enable food traceability. A conceptual model for analysing supply chains according to EPCIS standard is also presented. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted to establish a theoretical framework. A case study of a Swedish fresh fish supply chain was then carried out. Findings Implementation of the EPCIS standard and RFID technology to enable food traceability potentially affects the following logistic operations activities: identification, monitoring, labelling, goods handling, reporting of production, identification costs and revenue changes due to sales of goods. The conceptual model was used to analyse the effects. Research implications/limitations The paper contributes to logistic research by studying the implementation of RFID technology and information standards to comply with food traceability requirements. The research is limited to fish supply chains; other sectors and supply chains need to be investigated for further generalisation the results. Practical implications Regulatory requirements on food traceability stipulate the implementation of food traceability systems, placing the responsibility on companies by authorities. The research presented can support managers in understanding the potential effects of implementing such systems. 2 Originality/value The discussion about logistics and food traceability has in part revolved around implementation of RFID technology and standardised approaches for handling information to preserve food quality and safety. This paper presents potential effects on logistic operations when implementing the EPCIS standard and RFID technology as a way of enabling traceability throughout food supply chains.

“…It also obstructs counterfeited, contaminated or harmful products from reaching the market (Voss et al, 2009), and allows the causes of food safety deficiencies to be identified, hence limiting their impact (Thakur and Hurburgh, 2009). The definition of a traceable resource unit (TRU) is a key to successful unique identification (Manos and Manikas, 2010;Thakur and Hurburgh, 2009;Senneset et al, 2010;Karlsen et al, 2012). A TRU usually has homogenous content and product characteristics that may be priced, ordered, invoiced or included in production at any point in food SCs (Senneset et al, 2007;Regattieri et al, 2007;Thakur and Hurburgh, 2009).…”

Purpose – This paper aims to increase our understanding of perspectives on food traceability in four supply chain risk management (SCRM) approaches to ensure food safety. The occurrence of food safety failures has led to increased attention on food traceability as a means of identifying the causes of deficiencies in supply chains. Design/methodology/approach – This paper presents a literature review and synthesizes the broader domain of food traceability by analyzing perspectives based on SCRM approaches. In all, 129 published papers were selected and evaluated using content analysis. Findings – A framework of SCRM approaches on food traceability is presented. Eight perspectives on food traceability are identified and grouped according to four SCRM approaches: food supply chain complexity and unique identification of goods (logistics management); transparency and interoperability (information management); in-house production and outsourcing (production management); and food quality and safety requirements and the monitoring of food characteristics (quality management). Research limitations/implications – The findings provide an in-depth understanding and research suggestions for the management of traceability to ensure food safety in food supply chains. Conclusions are drawn from secondary sources, thus excluding empirical evaluation. Practical implications – The implementation of food traceability can result in changes to existing management systems. This paper addresses the perspectives and management challenges that can influence the implication of food traceability to ensure food safety. Originality/value – Perspectives on food traceability according to SCRM approaches are presented. Food traceability is analyzed using the philosophy of scientific framework and suggestions for further research are offered.

“…This paper provides theoretical contributions to at least three bodies of literature. First of all, the study contributes to the literature on BPM (Al-Mashari and Al-Mudimigh, 2003;Del Giudice and Della Peruta, 2016;Laurenza et al, 2018;Senneset et al, 2010;Trivelli et al, 2019) in particular to business process modeling (Weske, 2019), by promoting a shift from linear to systemic business process models in public administrations in order to effectively innovate their business processes (Bianchi, 2010;Lane et al, 2010;Leat and Setzler, 2002;Padua and Jabbour, 2015). The conceptual framework developed in this study allows public administrations to exercise their power by actively involving outside players and to increase their awareness about the social impact of their activities (Ashok et al, 2016;Hughes, 2010;Rundh, 2009).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the credit collection process in public administrations in order to develop a conceptual model which goes beyond the traditional logic of linearity, adopting system thinking approaches.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyses the case of an Italian local government-owned enterprise. Data collection through semi-structured interviews and document analysis has enabled the development of propositions, the identification of systemic variables, and the development of an explanatory modeling process based on the system dynamics approach.FindingsThis paper shows that public administrations can effectively involve external actors, especially citizens, as knowledge and public value co-creators only when considering systemic, unintended, and delayed implications of decision-making activities related to the provision of sensitive public services such as credit collection.Originality/valueBusiness process modelling should address some key fragilities of traditional modeling processes, especially in the public sector. This paper develops a novel systemic conceptual model which lays the groundwork for empirically testing business process innovation in public administrations.
