Payment for ecosystem services (PES) is an economic tool that seeks to compensate landowners for the conservation of their forested lands and reduce the negative impacts of land use change in forest areas that are important for the provision of ecosystem services (ES). However, it is essential to verify that the implementation of this mechanism is focused on where it is most needed. In this study, an analysis of the evolution of PES in the Pixquiac sub-basin in Veracruz was carried out, and the degree of coincidence between the supported areas and hydrological priority areas was evaluated. Information regarding the fiscal years of PES in the region from 2003 - 2016 was statistically analyzed, and the priority areas and areas of PES were determined using geographic information systems. Results showed that payments amounted to USD 1,076,782 in an area of 5,450 ha during the period analyzed. However, only 881.58 ha (24.5 % of the total hydrological priority areas) were considered in this payment scheme. Decision-makers must have up-to-date information that allows them to focus available resources at a more precise spatial scale. In addition, efforts must be made by the actors involved to ensure greater participation by forest owners and ecosystem service users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of the present study is to characterize the methodologies employed to select suppliers in the supply chain of copper mining companies in Chile. The case study approach is applied and data is gathered in the year 2021 by surveying executives from copper-producing mining companies in Chile. The results show that mining companies have a supplier selection process with a high degree of evaluation and analysis. It considers economic, social, and environmental criteria. It also uses support management technologies and multi-criteria decision methods (MCDM) such as SMART, AHP, and ANP. It is concluded that copper mining companies use sustainable supplier selection methodologies for their supply chain, which increases the added value of mining businesses in Chile.

Objective: Analyze the value network of an avocado packing plant in Zitácuaro, to propose a supplier development scheme that contributes to improving its competitiveness. Methodology: The value network was used as an analysis tool around the packing company and a multiple linear regression model was used. Results: The results indicate that there are three strata of producers (suppliers) in the region depending on the technological level. Although all the strata record profits, there are differences with respect to volume and prices. The producers registered an INAIE greater than 50% in the health and harvest categories; however, there are lags in terms of organization and administration. The multiple linear regression model with a value of R2 = 0.87 determined that the explanatory variables of profitability are harvested area, yield and the organizational innovation index. Limitations: It is an applicable study for a particular company, established in a specific region. Conclusion: The agri-business supplier development strategy should consider the establishment of alliances (integration, organization and innovation) with suppliers, to ensure the supply of raw materials in a timely manner and the quality demanded by current markets. As well as strengthening the relationship with complementary agents, while continuously analyzing competitors and trends in the avocado market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Worldwide it is estimated that more than 85% of the main companies used external logistics services, with growth rates of this services market projected between 18 and 22 percent per year. This trend has generated a growing interest in supply chain researchers to propose different approaches for the selection and evaluation of the performance of third party logistics (3PL). This article proposes a systematic review analyzing a sample of articles published in indexed journals in order to identify the main contributions on this topic. This study shows the evaluation and selection of a 3PL is a critical and complex decision, due to the existence of several criteria of imprecise and subjective basis. As a result, methodological characteristics, approaches used, models applied, attributes of the magazines, and industries that use external logistics providers are presented. Cost, information technology implemented by logistics providers, and the effectiveness of shipments and deliveries on time, are the most valued criteria by companies for the evaluation and selection of 3PL. The results of this study provide support to researchers, as a reference that allows identifying some possibilities for future research in the field of providers that offer external logistics services, promoting competitiveness in the supply chain.

This research proposes a decision model to manage the purchase of new and used components in a re-manufacturing system. New components are purchased from a supplier who offers discounts based on the reserved capacity. The used components comes from various sources, where the quantity to be received from each source depends on the incentive provided. The model considers two stochastic elements: the return level per source (for used components) and the possibility that the shipment of new components is not received. A sensitivity analysis is performed based on a numerical example. The results demonstrate significant relationships between the costs to operate the return sources, the probability of low returns, and the incentive levels assigned to each source. The experiments also indicate how the incentives and the reserved capacity depends on the probability that the new components are not received. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a literature review on innovation generation due to the supply chain management. The supply chain management theory raises the activities of the Strategic Sourcing, such as assessment, selection and development of vendors as critical ones (Cui et al., 2012: 30; Chopra y Meindl, 2012: 393). Although strategic sourcing has several aspects, one of those with the greatest impact on the business is the selection and development of suppliers. This literature review shows agreements on the concept of technological innovation and strategic sourcing. It also seeks to show a compendium of the factors that motivate different types of innovation in organizations, according to several previous studies; show a compilation of the main methods of selection of suppliers, that while dealing novel quantitative techniques to evaluate the decision only traditional factors such as cost or delivery times.

The implementation of lean production (LP) in the aeronautics industry has been rather slow in coming: it has not begun or is still ongoing in many agents in the supply chain. However, the success of LP in this sector largely depends upon the extent of its application along the supply chain. A key issue is knowing what influence management commitment and supplier dependence on the driving organisation have on its implementation. This study presents an exploratory case study of four ancillary companies in the aeronautics sector involved in the Airbus Military supply chain Optimisation Project that uses lean methodology. The findings show that implementation seems to be related to commitment, but not to dependence, and that commitment cannot therefore be imposed from outside. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In addition, it discusses the main aspects of programs currently being developed in Chile, with their respective business strategies and both public and private policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses collaboration with suppliers in the process of new product development. It contains a description of the benefits and challenges this collaboration poses and shows the experience of Spanish industry regarding such practice. From this experience, one may conclude that collaborating with suppliers in the development of new products leads to shorter and more efficient innovative processes and to better products, but one can also observe that Spanish firms are still in the learning stage. As a result, lessons learned are presented as a guide to managers in improving collaboration with suppliers in the innovation process. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
