The Mexican health system restructuring process that began in 2018 moves forward in two lanes: individual-based healthcare provision and public health services. The latter has two main goals: strengthening the state's public health governing role in a federative nation and providing the country's Ministry of Health with a highly skilled professional task force to accomplish this role. Mexico's Ministry of Health created the National Public Health Service (NPHS), a corporation of public health officers with the single mission to protect people's health by purposefully enforcing and overseeing the Essential Public Health Functions within the Mexican health system. Correspondingly, the NPHS will pursue three key strategies. First, to reshape public health action by organizing the Ministry's work using operational-based criteria (governance, logistics, operations, and intelligence) instead of program-specific vertical structures. Second, to functionally integrate and provide a group identity and a set of standard operational practices to all federal-level public health practitioners. Third, to refocus the Ministry of Health's nature to a more ground-level work, closer to the people and the needs of the state-level health departments instead of a more normative nature.

This article illustrates how to research complex infrastructure networks using critical cartography. Maps, infographics, and datascapes are employed to study how contemporary flows of goods, people, and money are redefining a specific location. This topic has been widely investigated in science and technology studies; however, it has seldom been addressed by applying visual methods. Cartography, in particular, is generally regarded as a subject of analysis, rather than an investigative tool. Conversely, this contribution discusses the theory and explores critical cartography as a speculative and artistic practice for problematizing the spatialization of policies, financial interests, and trade flows. It adds another level of understanding to the field of inquiry, and can help in developing counternarratives. This method is adopted to investigate the Port of Trieste, Italy, where radical transformations have been driven by international investment and infrastructural programs. Critical cartography can help to unravel this tangle by unveiling the cross-scalar dimension of contemporary global trade and the complex landscape of infrastructural networks.

Achieving competitive supply chains currently represents a requirement to ensure the sustainability of companies, even more so in those that are considered emerging, either due to having little experience in their economic activities or due to their limited ability to cover the market due to their size. These characteristics are regularly met by startups and small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). The objective of this research is to obtain a status of the supply chains of emerging companies in the city of Bogotá as a basis for identifying opportunities for improvement that aim to strengthen their competitiveness. Two well-known reference models developed by logistics experts were used as measurement components. Some statistical calculations and the formulation of surveys were the methods used to collect, analyze and evaluate the information. Among the main results, it is evident that the processes that make up the emerging supply chains in the city have a result that varies between regular and good, and present multiple opportunities for improvement, such as agility and compliance in the supply phase, internal transportation technologies at the time of manufacturing or production, and poor risk management in the distribution and sales process.

Para alcançar a melhoria da qualidade dos processos produtivos e/ou do produto final, e obter processos com cada vez menos perdas e desperdícios, a metodologia do Seis Sigma utiliza um procedimento de melhoria continua conhecido como ciclo DMAIC. Este ciclo consiste em uma metodologia orientada à melhoria, otimização e estabilização de processos e projetos de negócios. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo é aplicar as etapas Define, Measure e Analyze da metodologia DMAIC e analisar como ela pode contribuir para a redução de perdas de produto por vencimento no processo logístico em uma revenda de bebidas. Com isso, foi possível identificar os principais problemas das perdas de produtos por vencimento, entre elas a solicitação de produtos inovação em quantidade superior à demanda, os erros na marcação de puxada e a falta de engajamento do time comercial nas vendas dos produtos com idade crítica. Em seguida, esses problemas foram analisados para reconhecimento de suas causas raízes e posteriormente foram desenvolvidos planos de ação com o intuito de mitigar as causas raízes identificadas, contribuindo assim para a redução das perdas. Dentre as ações propostas, as primordiais são as voltadas para o time comercial, objetivando maior engajamento do time. Além disso, foi proposta a verificação da data de validade dos produtos de baixo giro e produtos de inovação antes da realização dos pedidos, bem como a criação de uma equipe focada em perdas.

The rise of e-hailing services such as Grab and MyCar has overshadowed public transportation in Malaysia. E-hailing is a transport service that allows passengers to book a trip in real-time using virtual devices such as mobile phones. E-hailing platforms are predicted to grow tremendously as consumers continue to demand them for their convenience, speed, and cost-saving benefits. Beginning in October 2019, Malaysian e-hailing operators have been subject to control-oriented laws similar to those imposed on taxi drivers. This article attempts to highlight the regulatory framework that governs e-hailing services in Malaysia, as well as the legal issues and risks that e-hailing services face. It employs qualitative legal research, emphasising the study of law and the use of web, print, scholarly, and government statistics. The data were structured using theme analysis to generate a discussion narrative regarding e-hailing services in Malaysia, taking into consideration multiple viewpoints on the regulatory framework, legal concerns, and risks of this industry. It is found that despite the existence of essential laws that legalise e-hailing services, it has been discovered that legal concerns concerning legal status, safety, privacy, and liability persist in Malaysia's e-hailing services. On the one hand, there is a genuine urgency to ensure users' safety, which must not be suffocated by harsh and overbearing laws. As a result, understanding legal reactions to e-hailing services and exploring innovative approaches to handle growing legal difficulties is critical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed many market changes, driven partially by new consumer needs. In the electronic commerce field, changes occurred in parallel to an upsurge in demand, directly impacting logistics service quality. Within that context, this paper seeks a way of assessing the quality of e-commerce logistics, based on end-customer perceptions at the close of the purchasing cycle. The objective is thus to develop a mathematical model based on the artificial intelligence precepts that can interpret qualitative expressions captured through a questionnaire. Such values form partial indexes and the E-Commerce Logistics Quality Index (IQLE). After processing 180 records, it was noted that three of the seven analyzed attributes scored below 5.0, denoting some concern, but also opening up opportunities for improvement and the development of marketing solutions.

O departamento de suprimentos de uma empresa é o responsável por atender as necessidades organizacionais com o intuito de gerar a integração e o desenvolvimento da organização. Utilizar um modelo de gestão adequado em conjunto com as transformações advindas da Indústria 4.0 poderá representar a criação de vantagem competitiva e a inovação ao ambiente corporativo. Neste artigo, o principal objetivo foi descrever as oportunidades de automatização dos processos de suprimentos à luz do contexto da indústria 4.0 para o departamento de suprimentos em uma empresa de prestação serviços no ramo de operação logística, situada na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. Para tanto, optou-se pelo desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa e objetivo exploratório-descritivo. Foi utilizado um roteiro semiestruturado na realização das entrevistas em profundidade junto aos profissionais de compras do departamento de suprimentos da organização objeto deste estudo. Os resultados demonstram que a empresa definiu o modelo de gestão em função do seu crescimento e da necessidade de maior controle de indicadores gerenciais do departamento, permitindo, assim, identificar possíveis automatizações em processos e utilizando, sobretudo, os princípios da indústria 4.0 para as atividades do departamento de compras.

El comercio electrónico se aceleró durante la pandemia, a medida que más consumidores compraban en línea. Empresas como Amazon y MercadoLibre se transformaron en líderes mundiales, convirtiendo la actividad logística en un pilar fundamental para el desarrollo de su negocio, mientras que la gestión de sus relaciones laborales ha sido objeto de debate. Este artículo estudia esa dinámica en perspectiva comparada, observando el papel de los modelos de regulación de las condiciones laborales y posibilidades de organización colectiva de los trabajadores de la actividad logística de Amazon (en Alemania y los Estados Unidos) y de MercadoLibre (en la Argentina). Los resultados indican que la dinámica de las relaciones laborales de estas compañías responde tanto a las particularidades del modelo de regulación vigente en cada país, como a las posibilidades de organización y correlación de fuerzas de los actores intervinientes.

La digitalización ha producido un impacto notable en la esfera profesional, introduciendo alteraciones en el empleo paralelas a su desarrollo. El presente artículo se centra en analizar la influencia que la mencionada digitalización ha protagonizado en el sector de la logística, atendiendo a las competencias introducidas y potenciadas por este fenómeno, concretamente en las PYMES nacionales. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de la que se recopiló tanto literatura académica como informes ya publicados, para posteriormente diseñar un cuestionario difundido a empresas del sector, diversas entrevistas a expertos de distintos ámbitos y un grupo de debate entre los mismos para extraer información contextualizada y contrastar la revisada de los académicos. La digitalización ha producido modificaciones en la logística, no obstante, no han sido cambio uniformes y han afectado multidimensionalmente. Además, resulta necesaria una revisión de la oferta y los currículos educativos para responder al desarrollo digital de forma efectiva.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo partir de consideraciones teórico conceptuales de la geografía política y económica que buscan dar una explicación otra a la disciplina y práctica de la logística en el ámbito comercial internacional. A través de una revisión histórico-documental, la discusión trata de resaltar el papel de un proceso conocido como “revolución logística”, surgido tras la segunda posguerra y que empujó una serie de transformaciones que coadyuvaron a la producción de una espacialidad integrada bajo una razón logística en diferentes escalas geográficas. Además, busca dar cuenta del nexo existente entre el proceso de militarización global que se ha intensificado en los últimos años a partir de la reestructuración de la geografía del capitalismo neoliberal, conduciendo a la reconceptualización de la seguridad y a su ejercicio.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a implementação da venda direta do eta-nol no Brasil, iniciada pela Medida Provisória (MP) nº 1.063/2021 e publicada como Lei nº 14.292/2022, tornando possível a comercialização direta do etanol entre as usinas e os postos de combustíveis. Por meio de uma análise discursiva, este trabalho foca a comercialização nacional do etanol, antes da implementação da MP, destacando a venda direta como possível atenuante do preço final, bem como as posições das entidades públicas referentes ao setor. Conclui-se que a medida deve ensejar melhorias na cobrança dos impostos estaduais. Contudo, problemas relacionados à distância entre os postos e as usinas são fatores limitan-tes para essa comercialização, nesse primeiro momento, em função do processo de estocagem de grandes quantidades.
