Shipment Consolidation
The basic concept of logistics is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of several operational activities, such as transportation, warehousing and storage, order processing, material handling, and other information management concerning any related data from the origin point to end user. These include either nationally shipped products or internationally shipped products. Shipment consolidation is a concept in logistics management in which two or more shipments are transported by using the same vehicle with the aim of using less resources.

3D Printing Intelligent Factory
Considering the advantages of 3D printing, intelligent factories and distributed manufacturing, the 3D printing distributed intelligent factory has begun to rise in recent years. However, because the supply chain network of this kind of factory is very complex, coupled with the impact of customized scheduling and environmental constraints on the enterprise, the 3D printing distributed intelligent factory is facing the great challenge of realizing green supply chain networks and optimizing production scheduling at the same time, and thus a theoretical gap appears.

Navigating Logistics and Supply Chain Operations after COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for a paradigm shift in supply chain and logistics operations to respond to myriad disruptions. However, this paradigm shift has changed the supply chain to be more resilient, agile, flexible, and adaptable to upcoming disruptions. Hence, a comprehensive guide to understanding, implementing, and harnessing the power of digitization in the face of disruption, leading to a more resilient and adaptive global community, is greatly appreciated.

Garments’ Production Countries of Origin
For legislative and managerial purposes, brands are increasingly transparent in disclosing more information on the countries of origin (COOs) involved in their products’ production to their consumers. This could encourage consumers to adopt more environmentally and socially responsible consumption behaviors, particularly considering the negative externalities associated with the fashion industry.

Fuzzy VIKOR and Fuzzy Preference Relation
The process of evaluating and ranking alternatives, including the aggregation of various qualitative and quantitative criteria and weights of criteria, can be recognized as a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In fuzzy MCDM problems, qualitative criteria and criteria weights are usually indicated in linguistic values expressed in terms of fuzzy numbers, and values under quantitative criteria are usually crisp numbers. How to properly aggregate them for evaluating and selecting alternatives has been an important research issue. This research proposes a fuzzy preference relation‑based fuzzy VIKOR method to help decision‑makers make the most suitable selection.

The Optimal Supply Chain Network Design
Minimizing a company's operational risk by optimizing the performance of the manufacturing and distribution supply chain is a complex task that involves multiple elements, each with their own supply line constraints. Traditional approaches to optimization often assume determinism as the underlying principle. In this study, the implications of decision making, and causal uncertainties have been considered and analyzed for their impact on the system response.

Storage Inventory Model
The inventory-carrying scheme associated the proposed model consists of both rented and owned warehouse facilities, where the cost increases linearly with time. The numerical and visual simulation concludes the mathematical approach to analyzing the proposed inventory model in Mathematica software. The results show that a price hike enhances profit despite the negative impact on demand creation. Also, promotion frequency favors profitability, suppressing the corresponding costs. Another managerial intuition is revealed through the numerical result that the stock should be held in a rented warehouse when deterioration in the owned warehouse increases, despite the cost of a rented warehouse.

Platform Supply Chain Coordination Considering Fresh-Keeping Service
With changes in demand and the emergence of new distribution channels, consumer-centric buyer’s markets for many products have been formed. The platform supply chain has been continuously optimized and upgraded. Supply chain leaders have moved downstream to the end of the supply chain. The operational value has been further enhanced. The corresponding systematic construction of the platform supply chain has become an important driving force for future development.

Open-Source Diffusion Using Government–Platform–User Evolutionary Game
Technological innovations, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning, have facilitated the emergence of autonomous systems, promoting triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability. However, the prevalent triopoly of Android, iOS, and Windows introduces substantial obstacles for smart device manufacturers in pursuit of independent innovation. Utilizing evolutionary game theory,  the interplay among governments, platforms, and users in championing open-source diffusion can be scrutinized.

Bus Low-Fare Policy
Sustainable development has reached a consensus in all fields of the world. Transport sustainability is the mainstream of sustainable development goals. As a key component of urban transportation systems, the role of public transport has been established as a critical element in promoting sustainable development due to its affordability, efficiency and convenience. From the description by the previous literature, public transport sustainability generally can be broadly and narrowly defined. In a broad sense, the development of public transport coordinates with the urban economy, society, and environmental resources. In a narrow sense, dynamic transit bus networks, smart technological support and effective fare policy are also related to the sustainable development of public transport.
