There is an increasing competition between companies for their survival in today's business environment. Not only time but also cost parameters affect the company's sustainability performance. Logistics as one of the core operations of companies has a large share on expenses. Transport, warehousing, administration, packaging, and other indirect costs constitute the main cost values of logistics. Especially product damages caused by incorrect packing and transportation leads to extra expenditures to the companies and damages their reputation due to the customer dissatisfaction. In order to avoid such situations, proper level of packaging for protection, transportation conditions, features of the product like fragility, compactness, must be selected and matched correctly. On the other hand, some external factors such as temperature and humidity, which affect the quality of cardboard, also need to be considered in the production phase. In this study, a Design of Experiment methodology is performed to determine the suitable conditions for increasing the strength of the corrugated cardboard box that is used by a Glassware Company operating in Turkey. 3 k full factorial design approach is implemented for the analysis and box compression test is used for measurement. The discussed factors and the interactions of the factors were evaluated with the help of Minitab software.

“…A recent review of simulation approaches in logistics and operations management can be found in Jeon and Kim (2016). Among these studies, Curcio and Longo (2009) have developed a simulation model focusing on the inventory and internal logistics management problem for a distribution centre. The model is used to investigate the performance of different inventory control policies under distinct scenarios, with the aim to minimise the logistic cost of the system as a function of some key parameters.…”

Today, inventory management is almost entirely based on information systems. However, inventory records can always be prone to errors, leading to underestimated or overestimated inventory. In this study, the effect generated by inventory record inaccuracies on the economic performance of a warehouse of fast moving consumer goods is analysed. A simulation model is developed under Microsoft Excel™ to reproduce the inbound and outbound flows of product at the warehouse, together with the generation of errors in these flows. Different types of errors, correction mechanisms and reorder policies are taken into account in the analysis. As output, the simulation model returns the total cost of the inventory management as a function of the error level, the reorder policy and the correction mechanism adopted. The results of the study provide useful guidelines for warehouse managers. More specifically, outcomes can support strategic decisions, such as the choice among different correction mechanisms, the opportunity to adopt them (or not) or the opportunity to modify (or not) the operating leverages of the reorder policy to adapt them to the presence of errors in inventory records.

“…In recent times, empirical approach as benchmarking and 'best practice' decisions has become widespread. However, it does not correspond to the new principles of SC formation and does not reflect its robustness, flexibility, adaptability and reliability (Behrends and Floden, 2012;Curcio and Longo, 2009;Kaplan and Norton, 2006;Lukinskiy and Shulzhenko, 2011;Lukinskiy et al, 2007;Stock and Lambert, 2001).…”

Logistics and supply chain management (SCM) is in its development process, progressing stage after stage. The development process at the very first stage considers an evaluation criterion for evaluating effectiveness using minimum total logistics costs (TLC), which underlines the fact that, an important criterion in the development process is complete customers' satisfaction in services, or the 'level of service' (SL). At the same time, the question remains open as to how to quantify the impact of logistics operations and functions on the performance results of TLC and SL. The main aim of this paper is to develop a methodical approach and to come up with a computational approach to assessing the impact of different logistics operations factors (for example, transportation, storage, orders, etc.), on TLC and SL.
