What were the main explanations for lack of stability in the performance measurement system in the supply chain according to Hald and Mouritsen (2018)?
Technical challenges, alignment, attitude and commitment, conflict and objection
Why might measuring the performance of TCSC using service level and customer satisfaction be more technically challenging?
It is very complex to measure and trace customer satisfaction service level in all stages of TCSC.
How does lack of alignment contribute to the lack of stability in the performance metrics of TCSC?
Different stages of TCSC use diverse and numerous performance metrics, leading to lack of alignment.
Why might actors in the supply chain lack commitment to certain performance metrics?
They may lack interest in some metrics, leading to a lack of commitment in sharing relevant information.
How can metrics like temperature and cost create a conflict in the performance measurement of TCSC?
To keep the temperature cool, energy needs to be used, which raises the cost of energy.
What can be learned from the analysis of the temporal distribution and trends of published studies regarding performance measurement in TCSC?
Research interest in performance measurement in TCSC has increased in the last five years.
What are some major trends in the global market for perishable goods, as mentioned in the text?
Trending towards high-income and middle-income countries
What is one of the challenges in research related to measuring the performance of TCSC in low-income countries?
Lack of proper attention
What are some of the themes used to evaluate performance in TCSC?
Route and schedule optimization, performance evaluation, transportation and logistics optimization, sustainability, inventory and storage optimization
