efficiency, but in reality the supply chain is became less efficient. This literature study focuses on the distribution of perishable products in general and it highlights the best practices, software and tools that may help solving the individual problems. The subsequent sections describe possible scenarios for Sonnendal, based on the information found in this literature study. Distribution Management First is examined what the basics of distribution management within supply chain management are, to understand
literature pertaining to the core construct of the study. Mainly the constructs which are going to be explored in this study are based on the renowned two theories called institutional theory and resource based view theory. The reason to relate institutional theory on adoption of green supply chain practices is due to supply chain management involves the corporation and interaction among multiple stakeholders. Further, decision to adopt green supply chain practices may have to more interact with institutional
ABSTRACT This thesis examines the supply chain management practices of the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company within the context of the global aerospace industry. The methodology used for this study includes a study of emerging supply chain management concepts and practices in the aerospace industry based on a review of the open literature, research performed on aerospace supply chain management issues by MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative, and selected interviews with aerospace industry experts.
the effect of strategic supply chain management practices on performance of hotel industry in Rwanda is analysed, where a qualitative and quantitative approach is used for the primary data collection within the questionnaires at Serena Hotel Company limited. To establish relationship between research variables frequency, mean and standard deviation were employed

competition does not only exist between organizations but also between their whole supply chain became a necessity in order for organizations to stay competitive as well as to enhance their profits. Managing an organization’s supply chain involves the integration of the material and information flow across the whole supply chain. Although this realization increased the focus of organizations in managing their supply chain, it is observed after performing a literature review that existing literatures
A supply chain is defined as each organisation is engaged to deliver goods and services to a set of chosen customers . A supply chain is a structure consisting facilities , functions and activities that involve the processing of delivery services or production of services . Suppliers have to deliver the final goods to customers . Function and activities perform by supply chain are forecasting , purchasing , production , distribution method , delivery within time , effective customer services , proper
failure in the cold chain could cause excessive ripening, weight loss, softening, color and texture changes, physical degradation and bruising, and attack by rot and molds. These factors affect freshness, desirability, and marketability. Strict temperature control throughout the supply chain can minimize the risk of food-borne illnesses because low temperatures drastically reduces the growth rate of most human pathogens (Ukuku & Sapers, 2007). Depending on the temperature requirements we can identified
