Vol. 9 No. 2 (2016): July - December

Dear readers,

In this issue of Journal of Operations and Supply Chain Management we present to you five papers that cover different areas of our field. Shashi et al. (2016) explore the key success factors to manage sustainable cold supply chains. Still in the SCM field, Handayati et al. (2016) use agent-based simulation to understand contracting issues. Martins et al. (2016), in their turn, analyze intermodal terminals in Brazil and point interesting ways of improving them, considering shippers’ points of view. Devangan (2016) also explores logistic issues by look for ways to optimize the allocation of warehouses, taking into account production and distribution aspects. Finally, Rajashekharaiah (2016) recoups a recurrent and important theme in the operations management field – the use of six sigma techniques to improve process capability.

I wish you a pleasant reading.
