Abstract
 
On 11th March 2020, the World Health Organization declared Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COVID-19 as a pandemic and hence lockdown imposed in India resulted in a significant depletion in surgical practices even after unlock down. There were some guidelines for patient care in general surgical practice have been published, overall, publications focusing exclusively on guidelines on starting surgical outpatient departments (OPD) after the COVID-19 lockdown amidst the on-going pandemic are lacking. We hereby propose the evolving knowledge in changes in OPD management practices for general surgeons in the COVID- 19 era. The priority on online registration (e-registration) should be given impetus and become the new norm supplemented by telephonic and spot registration for the uneducated patients. 
The article also mentions the duties of the help desk, OPD hall supervisor and the new norms of air conditioning, ventilation, safe use of elevators, sanitization of OPD premises and biomedical waste disposal. The optimum and safe utilization of human & material resources DO’s and DON’Ts for patients & health staff have also been proposed. 
In Ayurveda, a concept similar to the epidemic is narrated by Acharya Charak under a broad heading ‘Janapadodhwamsa’. The word ‘Janapadodhwamsa’ comprises of two words Janapada (large population) & Udhvamsa (destruction) which means the diseases affecting & causing damage of a large number of people. Factors which are familiar to the people under a particular community like air (Vayu), water (Jala), habitat (Desha) and seasons (Kala), Sinful acts (Adharma) in the form of war, affliction by attacks of monsters, demon, alliants (Rakshas) etc. & curses (Abhishap) are responsible for ‘Janapadodhwamsa. . These diseases can be considered as either airborne or waterborne infectious diseases or diseases occurring due to soil contamination or conditions arising due to weather or seasonal hazards. Further, under the heading of Adidaivika Bala Pravritta Vyadhi (diseases arising due to such causes that cannot be controlled by human intelligence), terms such as Sansargaja and Upsragaja are mentioned which indicate that there are certain diseases which can be transmitted directly from infected persons to healthy persons such as contagious diseases or certain diseases can be transmitted by respiration/air borne

Published: April 2021

This study examined the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) on the environment and green economic performance with the moderator prediction context, which is a very fundamental approach for developing stronger theories. The writers chose green technology as a unique moderator in the context of GSCM practices and performance. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of moderating effects of green technology in investigating the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and firm performance (environmental and green economic performance). By employing survey methodology using a purposive sampling technique, the data collected from 96 respondents in various manufacturing firms. The hypotheses were tested through SEM-PLS using SmartPLS. The further results show that the results of hypothesis testing indicate that GSCM practices (GSCM) have a positive and significant effect on environmental performance (EP) and green economic performance (GEP). The study also found that the role of green technology as a moderating variable can strengthen the positive relationship between GSCM Practices and environmental performance. While the moderation effect of Green technology (GT) can weaken the positive relationship between GSCM Practices and green economic performance (GEP).

Published: April 2021

The objective of this study is to analyze and review the influence of government regulations and information technology on the operational performance of local television stations in East Java with service supply chain management practices as the mediator variable and capital owner’s intervention as the moderator variable. The data of exploratory research was collected through questionnaires distributed to twenty-nine local televisions stations, selected through saturated sampling method from a population of local television stations in East Java, and was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The finding of this study reveals that government regulations and information technology significantly influence the operational performance of local television stations with service supply chain management (SCM) practices as the mediator variable, which means that better government regulations and better information technology are analogous with the importance for the improvement of local television stations operational performance. Capital owner intervention weakens service SCM practices on operating performance and has a direct and immediate effect on reducing the operational performance of local television stations. The practical implications of this study signify the understanding that service SCM practices is an important concept in enhancing the operational performance. Capital owner’s intervention weakens service SCM practices on operating performance of local television stations.

Responsible Supply Chain (RSC) has become an important issue in the agricultural supply chain, along with the development of the sustainable agriculture concept. Furthermore, responsible agriculture helps to ensure the availability of food and maintain land quality, enabling the land to last for a long time. However, in practice, creating a responsible agricultural supply chain is rather difficult, especially in developing countries, where numerous barriers hinder the implementation of RSCs. This study therefore is an exploratory research aimed at finding the barrier factors to implementing responsible action in the agricultural supply chain. Multiple Case study research methods were conducted to provide answers to the research question. Meanwhile, data collection was performed through in-depth interviews with two agribusiness companies, and interpretive Structural Modelling was used to analyse the data obtained. The results showed the barrier factors faced in implementing responsible action within the agricultural supply chain include poor organizational capabilities, external actor involvement, and lack of supply chain integration. Organizational capabilities, including cost management, knowledge management, and organizational policy, play a significant role in implementing a responsible agriculture supply chain. This Implementation is also highly dependent on external involvement by government or non-government organizations (NGOs), as some supply chains take responsible action because of obligations or pressure from these organizations. Another barrier is inadequate supply chain integration, including integration, information sharing, and incentive alignment among supply chain members. Meanwhile, inadequate budget management, as part of organizational capabilities, is the major barrier giving rise to other challenges. The results of this study serve as a reference for supply chains, especially in the agriculture industry, while creating programs in a bid to reduce these inhibiting factors, to ensure responsible actions are well implemented well and able to provide a competitive advantage for all supply chain members.

This study aimed to investigate the extent of applying just-in-time production system on maximizing profitability of small and medium industrial companies in Jordan, where maximizing profitability of companies represented in both (reducing product costs and reducing ending inventory obsolescence) for those companies. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was designed as a tool for study and was distributed to the study sample represented by administrative managers and financial managers in small and medium industrial companies. The study community consisted of (235) companies of small and medium industrial companies. The Robert Mason equation was used to determine the sample size which consisted of 146 companies, where this study distributed 292questionnaires, and 217 of them were received, while 33 questionnaires were excluded, and the final sample was 184 questionnaires. The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant impact of applying just-in-time production system on maximizing profitability of small and medium industrial companies in Jordan, and there is a statistically significant impact of applying just-in-time production system on (reducing product costs and reducing ending inventory obsolescence) in small and medium industrial companies. The Study recommended a number of recommendations, the most important of which is: It is necessary to review the successful experiences of international companies that adopt applying just-in-time production system, and to benefit from them by small and medium industrial companies in Jordan in applying just-in-time production system as an advanced tool for cost management and thus maximizing their profitability.
Multi-product multi-vehicle inventory routing problem with vehicle compatibility and site dependency: A case study in the restaurant chain industry
Authors: Ohmori Shunichi , Yoshimoto Kazuho
Published: April 2021

We study an inventory routing problem (IRP) for the restaurant chain. We proposed a model a multi-product multi-vehicle IRP (MMIRP) with multi-compatibility and site-dependency (MMIRP-MCSD). The problem was formulated as a mixed integer programming (MIP). This model is difficult to solve because it is a problem that integrates MMIRP, a multi-compartment vehicle routing problem (MCVRP), and a site dependent VRP (SDVRP), each of which is difficult even by itself. Therefore, in this study, we proposed three-stage Math Heuristics based on the cluster-first and route-second method. In the numerical experiment, verification was performed using actual data, and knowledge on the decision making of the optimum vehicle type was obtained.

The paper shows the results of an empirical study on the optimization of polymer waste supply chains based on the circular economy in Ukraine. The research shows that the main links in the activity should be harmonized for quality and quick optimization of polymer waste supply chains, including the processes of collecting, sorting, treatment, processing, and recycling of resources for maintaining the quality by total cost reduction. The research argues that the circular economy that stipulates the easy processing, recycling, disassembling, and restoring of products replaced the traditional linear model “take, produce, and throw out” that has dominated the economy by now. The study shows that the transformation of supply chains in production ecosystems forms competitive advantages at the enterprises that allow them to be more productive through efficient use of resources.

Published: April 2021

To ensure competition and survival of business, understanding the indicators or drivers of export performance is important. Based on the organizational learning theory and strategic fit theory, this study aims to test the influence of market exploration strategies (MERS) and market exploitation strategies (METS) on SMEs’ export strategic performance, export financial performance (EFP), and export customer performance (ECP). This study confirms the leading mediating role of product planning and development (PPD) in the effects of MERS and METS on export performance outcomes. The authors collected questionnaire data electronically from 122 experienced SMEs that conduct international transactions in Saudi Arabia. Results from the Analysis of Moment Structures indicate that MERS and METS positively influence export performance; PPD mediates the relationship between MERS and METS in export performance dimensions; and number of sales and ownerships are control variables that influence EFP and ECP, respectively. This study contributes to the literature and society by proposing a framework that addresses the direct and indirect relationships between export marketing strategies and PPD, and their effects on SMEs’ export performance.
