Fuzzy Decision Support Methodology for Sustainable Packaging System Design

Publication Name: Studies in Computational Intelligence

Publication Date: 2022-01-01

Volume: 955

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 163-173

Description:

The aim of the present paper is to develop an integrated method that provides assistance to decision makers during packaging system planning, design, operation and evaluation from an environmental perspective. The role of the packaging system is to provide a cover for the handling and communication functions surrounding the product. Single-use and reusable packaging are known based on the time it participates in the goods trade. The purpose of the authors is to develop an evaluation model for the selection of packaging systems from an environmental and sustainability point of view in the supply chain.

Fuzzy approach for the decision on disposable or returnable packaging

Publication Name: Sustainability Switzerland

Publication Date: 2020-09-01

Volume: 12

Issue: 18

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

In modern logistics, companies and packaging engineers have to make decisions to find the optimal sustainable product-packaging system with adequate protection. The decision most often involves a decision option between disposable (single-trip) and reusable (returnable) packaging solutions. In practice, in most cases, this decision is based on historical data and traditions and only considers the packaging material and investment expenses. Although cost is an important factor, it is not the only one needed to find the optimal solution. Several other alternative factors further complicate the situation. Traditional (two-valued) logic is not able to model this problem. This study presents a novel technique to help the decision-making process using the application of fuzzy approach. The authors used three different fuzzy signatures connected by fuzzy rules to model the packaging decisions, which were based on logistics expert opinions. Practical examples are presented concerning both customer packaging (primary packaging) and industrial transport packaging (secondary packaging) as well.

Hierarchical fuzzy decision support methodology for dangerous goods packaging design

Publication Name: Studies in Computational Intelligence

Publication Date: 2020-01-01

Volume: 819

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1-7

Description:

In the field of logistics packaging (industrial-, or even customer packaging), companies have to take decisions on determining the optimal packaging solutions and expenses. The decisions often involve a choice between one-way (disposable) and reusable (returnable) packaging solutions. Even nowadays, in most cases the decisions are made based on traditions and mainly consider the material and investment costs, but many other aspects are important as well. Traditional (two-valued) logic is not suitable for modeling this problem, so the application of a fuzzy signature approach was considered. In a previous paper a fuzzy signature modeling the packaging decision was suggested, based on logistics expert opinions, in order to support the decision making process of choosing the right packaging system. The aim of this study is to improve the model and apply it for dangerous goods packaging.

Hierarchical fuzzy decision support methodology for packaging system design

Publication Name: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing

Publication Date: 2020-01-01

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 85-96

Description:

In the field of logistics packaging (industrial-, or even customer packaging), companies have to take decisions on determining the optimal packaging solutions and expenses. The decisions often involve a choice between one-way (disposable) and reusable (returnable) packaging solutions. Even nowadays, in most cases the decisions are made based on traditions and mainly consider the material and investment costs. Although cost is an important factor, it might not be sufficient for finding the optimal solution. Traditional (two-valued) logic is not suitable for modelling this problem, so here the application of a fuzzy approach, because of the metrical aspects, a fuzzy signature approach is considered. In this paper a fuzzy signature modelling the packaging decision is suggested, based on logistics expert opinions, in order to support the decision making process of choosing the right packaging system. Two real life examples are also given, one in the field of customer packaging and one in industrial packaging.

Drop performance of dangerous goods packages in the aspect of parcel delivery standards

Description:

Requirements for dangerous goods packaging are well known, whatever version are used. The testing circumstances are strictly defined for each transportation method (road, rail, air, sea). But nowadays it is becoming a practice that courier express operators transport dangerous goods as single package. This parcel delivery method means a higher risk for all kind of logistics participants. By this service the packages are delivered fast, but handled more roughly than in comparison to LTL (less than truckload) or FTL (full truck load). Naturally, the parcel delivery sector uses its own suitability testing methods, which are also well defined. These procedures are coming from various standards such as ASTM, ISTA or corporate (FedEx) standards. This paper compares the most common parcel delivery testing conditions concerning the drop test requirements of DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulation) using packaging such as paper bag, corrugated fibreboard box, steel drum and plastic jerrycan, respectively. Then the test results were analyzed to present the differences.
