A Methodological Framework for Airport Outbound Passenger Flow Modelling
Get PDFThe airport is a logistics hub that handles several flows, including passengers flow. In fact, passengers are the common customer of all the actors of the airport chain. Thus, and considering growth of passenger air traffic, airport managers must find rational solutions with optimal use of available resources and infrastructures; hence the opportunity for a modeling study and an optimization of passenger circuits. This article took the initiative of presenting the passenger flow model with a holistic approach starting from airport access to the boarding gate and following, for the first time, a confirmed methodological framework which is the ASDI methodology (Analysis, Specification, Design and Implementation). This methodology relies on a system decomposition in three subsystems: SSP physic, SSL logic and SSD decision-making. Our study was conducted on Mohammed V International Airport of Casablanca, the first airport in Morocco, by building its generic model of knowledge of the flow of departing passengers; a model that can be reused and reproduced on other circuits, even other airports
A Study of Intellectual Capital and Its Supply Chain Strategy for Business Performance in Small Medium Enterprise (SMEs)
Get PDFIntellectual capital is one of important activity for organizations which want to be efficient on the market and obtain a sustainable competitive advantage. However, most company only measure and create company value based on tangible assets rather than intangible assets.

This study is designed using a qualitative approach. A total of 30 entrepreneurs from the three largest Batik industries in Central Java, consist of Lasem-Rembang, Pekalongan and Laweyan Solo has participated in this study. The data collection technique is using observation, interview and some relevant reference such as reports, books and journals. The results of the analysis showed that the intangible assets (intellectual capital) are a strategic way to improve the performance of SMEs. Also, this study identified that the intellectual capital consists of human capital, spiritual capital, organizational capital, consumer capital and social capital. In conclusion, as intangible assets (intellectual capital) is a knowledge-based view that can create value and increase organizational performance.

Innovative Logistics Service Capability: Its Impact on Competitiveness and Performance
Get PDFNowadays, Nowadays, Indonesian Logistics Service Providers (LSP) need to improve their performance to enable them competing with foreign logistics service providers with particular reference to cope with the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). The main purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of innovative logistics service capability (INOV) on LSP’s performance (PERFORM) and competitiveness (COMP). The research model was developed based on previous theories and researches. This research constituted a causal research. It used questioners in collecting data from respondents by applying probability sampling with sample size consist of 280 logistics service providers (LSP) in Jakarta (Jabodetabek Region). The model was examined through structural equation modeling (LISREL). In the research was also conducted investigation about role of LSP’s competitiveness (COMP) in mediating the effect of innovative logistics service capability (INOV) on firm performance (PERFORM).Â
User Acceptance of Smart Housekeeping: A Study of TAM Model Prototype in Hotel Industry
Get PDF Abstract—An empirical assessment of the theoretical framework for this study included a survey of 120 employees that working in 4 hotels around Klang Valley that have an experience using smart housekeeping trolley. The resulting data were analyzed using the PLS-SEM methodology by using the SmartPLS 3.0 software. The findings suggested that Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and Perceived Innovativeness give a positive significant impact towards Attitude. Besides that, Attitude, Perceived Usefulness, and Perceived Ease of Use simultaneously significantly affect Intentions. In addition, Attitude gives a partial mediating effect toward the relationship of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use toward Intentions, but give a full mediating effect toward the relationship of Perceived Innovativeness and Intentions.Keywords—PLS-SEM, Mediating Analysi
Investigating The Drivers In Selecting Third Party Logistics (3PL) Provider: A Case Study From Indonesian Manufacturing Industry
Get PDFLogistics activities have become much concerned by many companies in term of an effective and efficient selection of Third-Party Logistics (3PL) provider. The use of 3PL providers and its effects to the customer satisfaction is mostly discussed in the case of manufacturing industry considering information technology variable, but the inclusion of trust as moderating variable between customer loyalty and customer satisfaction is limited. This article aims to identify the factors considered by Indonesian companies in selecting 3PL. Respondents of this research are managers of logistics or persons in charge of logistics activities. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to elaborate the relationship between factors affecting 3PL selection decision. The results indicate that Information Technology (IT) usage, service quality, trust and customer satisfaction are the factors affecting the companies to select a 3PL provider. Other results also show that there is a significant relationship between those factors
Assessment Methodology of the Supply Chain Management in Social Entrepreneurship Development at the Macro-regional Level
Get PDFAbstract- Effective supply chain management of the active development process of the social economy requires the use of separate tools to measure the level of social entrepreneurship, including the state of the environment in which enterprises are created. In this regard, the author proposes a method for assessing the level of the social entrepreneurship development in the macro-region. The method of calculating the integrated index of innovative development of the region as the basis of the proposed tools was used and subsequently adapted. The proposed calculation model was adapted to the problem of measuring the level of development of social entrepreneurship by including an expert method for determining the weight coefficients of each thematic block. An evaluation scale was also introduced, which can serve as a basis for making recommendations for consistently improving the level of social entrepreneurship development in the region. The evaluation is calculated in four consecutive stages: collecting the values of each indicator, rationing each indicator included in the evaluation system, calculating the index for each thematic block, and calculating the integral index for the development of social entrepreneurship

Similarly, it was also shown that information sharing significantly moderates within two components of SCM namely, strategic sourcing, technology capability and BP. Whereas has insignificant moderating effect on the relationship of logistic integration commitment and BP. Hence, current study contributed some theoretical implications in the existing body of literature. The study limitations and future directions are also being discussed
