“E-Commerce Supply Chain Efficiency: A Case Study of Amazon Ecommerce Company”

The purpose of this study is to observational look into the adoption of e-supply chain integration by electric manufacturers and electronic industry suppliers. This study can be combining both the transaction cost and resource-dependence models in realizing the perception of buyer–seller relationships on e-supply chain (Vidani & Pathak, 2016). The theory is based on the proposed model. Data were collected from non natural and electronic suppliers who are located in Malaysia. The data was sawing multiple regression analysis. The results showed that Asset Specificity, Product Technological difference, Transaction frequency, Proportion of sales to e-supply chain integration promoter


INTRODUCTION Definition and Introductions
E-commerce supply chain efficiency is a capacity of an e-commerce company to deliver products to customers in a time, cost, and sufficient manner (Vidani, 2015).It includes all aspects of the supply chain, from product procurement to warehousing and delivery (Vidani & Solanki, 2015).Amazon Ecommerce is a leading e-commerce company (Solanki & Vidani, 2016).It is popular for its powerful supply (Sharma & Vidani, 2023).The company has invested heavily in technology and infrastructure to well-organised its operations and reduce costs (Vidani, 2016).So as per result, Amazon is able to offer best competitive prices to its customer and fast delivery times (Bhatt, Patel, & Vidani, 2017).
E-commerce supply chain efficiency is important for many (Niyati & Vidani, 2016).It gives ecommerce companies to offer their customers competitive prices.It helps to improve customer satisfaction by ensuring all the products are delivered on time with better (Pradhan, Tshogay, & Vidani, 2016).It also can help to reduce costs for other e-commerce companies, which wants higher profits.
This research paper will use a case study approach to ensure Amazon's e-commerce supply chain efficiency (Modi, Harkani, Radadiya, & Vidani, 2016).The case study will focus on the following key Areas:  Inventory management  Warehouse operations  Last-mile delivery The research paper will also examine the following questions:  What are the key factors that contribute to Amazon's supply chain efficiency? How has Amazon used technology to improve its supply chain efficiency? What lessons can other e-commerce companies learn from Amazon's supply chain efficiency?

Background Current Trendsetters
The e-commerce industry is growing frequently, and supply chain efficiency is becoming much more important for e-commerce companies (Sukhanandi, Tank, & Vidani, 2018).In recent past some years, there has been a trend towards faster and more appropriate and suitable delivery options (Singh, Vidani, & Nagoria, 2016).In current era, Customer's expectation is receiving their orders within days or sometimes even within hours.This levied pressure on e-commerce companies to keep efficient supply chains (Mala, Vidani, & Solanki, 2016).

Market Share
Amazon Company is the world's biggest online retailers E-Commerce platform with a market share of over 30%.The company has been successful because of its efficient supply Chain (Dhere, Vidani, & Solanki, 2016).Amazon's allocation of labor and promote structural and unfavourable changes in the economy (Sachaniya, Vora, & Vidani, 2019).Although the development of the IT Sectoral, we can face problem of reduce fixed cost for e-commerce while improving unit transaction efficiency, further developments of the IT sector can generate unbalancing in economic structure and productivity through ecommerce.

This paper arises from the evolution of the e-commerce.It has provided new manner for retailers to handle customers.Pure e-tailers and clicks-andmortars are two business models of this new pattern.It specifies to study the originality of pure e-tailer (Amazon.com)and clicks-and-mortars (Walmart) with relevant focus on their dot com supply chains.Design approach -Strengths, weaknesses, oppositions, threats (SWOT), the Five Forces Model and Financial Performance Metrics give the idea which were used to make comparisons and differance between Walmart.com and Amazon.comsupply chains.The paper finds that this companies provide more efficient supply chains to their customers; however, in order two launch of e-commerce, both business models still face important challenges.
Amazon.com and Walmart.com have different supply chain models, as well as, strengths and weaknesses (Vidani, 2019).They both face the same opportunities and problems as the e-commerce industry grows with high rate.The research shows that lessons from one business entity can be applied to the other with a view to bring even more effectiveness to both e-tailers' and clicks and mortars' supply chains.

Q. Han, Yuyan Wang -2018
In Current scenario, online shopping is getting popular.In particular, low-carbon products are becoming more suitable as per consumers' low-carbon awareness increases.Manufacturers sell their low-carbon products through ecommerce (Vidani, Jacob, & Patel, 2019).Thus, the manufacturer and the ecommerce platform design a low-carbon e-supply chain system.The manufacturer makes products with air pollute reduction efforts, where the ecommerce platform provides a sale (Vidani J. N., 2016).In this paper, we described models for a decentralized decision mode and a centralized decision mode in the low-carbon e-supply chain, and compare the decision results.Our findings show that the centralized decision mode has a better performance than the decentralized one, the ability of the e-supply chain to respond to consumers' response and favorable outcome for a non-polluting product has a direct effect on its operation, and the manufacturer's greenhouse issue reduction behavior will be a potential source for enterprises to gain more (Vidani & Singh, 2017).At a great distance, we made a coordination contract for them that can be accepted by both sides in the separated decision mode.We Analysis upon this that if the e-commerce platform can share the carbon emission reduction costs of the manufacturer, the performance of the e-supply chain will be improve D at high level.
Future problems and scalability: Evaluate how Amazon's supply chain will change to accommodate the company's anticipated expansion and changing consumer needs.

E-Commerce and Supply Chain Dynamics
With Collecting information and advance technology as analysing object, dynamic integration theory and methods of agile supply chain is studied based on the analysis of the influence of electronic commerce for integrated supply chain.this research paper suggests the problems of flow of information and integration levels for supply Chain that are discussed on the dynamic integration strategies and methods of supply chain from the perspective of management idea and technologies development.At the end, the direction of research on intelligent incorporation is preferable.

E-Commerce Industry Overview
India's e-commerce sector has grown significantly in the last several years.The traditional business model has experienced a significant transformation since the emergence of e-commerce enterprises.Many Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) were drawn to establish their operations in India by the economic reforms that were introduced in 1991, and this resulted in the vast advancement of computers and technology in our nation.The widespread use of the internet has also aided in the growth of these sectors.To be more precise, E-commerce was initially used by startups as their main means of setting themselves apart from competitors' offerings.E-commerce enterprises have witnessed a sharp rise in revenues with the widespread adoption of smartphones and Android operating systems.The public's understanding of the issues surrounding e-commerce plays a major role in its development.

Importance of Supply Chain Management
By controlling and lowering supply chain expenses, as well as by using fewer large fixed assets, such warehouses and trucks, supply chain management helps businesses improve the pace at which goods are delivered to customers.In distribution network management, the primary objective of mobility is to raise the overall value of each shipment as determined by user satisfaction.This suggests that maintaining a level of customer satisfaction requires a combination of efficiency and a reduction in human resources.This research paper's primary goal is to comprehend and examine the logistical scenarios both before and after the epidemic.Prior to the pandemic, the majority of transportation was relied on large suppliers in the market; today, however, businesses are searching for alternatives.The other goal is to observe how individuals globally have come to understand the significance of logistics in their daily lives.Improper transportation methods can have a direct impact on the supply of goods, which in turn affects consumers.Following the pandemic, we witnessed the critical role that logistics play in our daily lives.Without an effective logistics system, the global supply chain of goods is disrupted, causing significant harm to industries like pharmaceuticals and chip manufacturers who were unable to ship their products on time and disrupt the market.The effects of this systemic failure are still being felt today, as factories ceased production and thousands of workers were laid off as a (Vidani, Meghrajani, & Siddarth, 2023).The Covid 19 analysis of the supply chain ecosystem, which is based on the study, offers a framework for additional research using a transformative lens.Prior to the pandemic, few people were aware of the supply chain and its (Rathod, Meghrajani, & Vidani, 2022).However, everyone soon realized the importance of supply chains and logistics for the smooth flow of goods in the marketplace and the unavailability of products due to supply chain disruptions and a sharp increase in demand after the pandemic.KEYWORDS: E-commerce, pandemic, COVID-19, supply chain, logistics, disturbances in the supply chain, supply chain recovery

Key Challenges and Opportunities
This article presents strategic prospects for e-commerce enabled supply chains and, consequently, significantly enhanced consumer reactions, using certain facets of the motor industry as an (Vidani & Das, 2021).The authors show that companies that are able to go one step further and alter their far broader manufacturing process philosophies will gain a competitive edge.
Companies that are able to lead the way in supply chain e-commerce technologies will have a durable competitive advantage because of the acquired expertise connected with these developments, which makes it difficult for rivals to imitate.On the other hand, it is determined that leadership and change management are important problems that need more research.

The Case of Amazon E-Commerce
The rapid shift in the commercial footprint towards distributional-based consumption is linked to the advent of e-commerce as a dominating retail paradigm.The research highlights the significant physicality of digitalization by examining the geographic reach, market penetration, and functional specialization of Amazon's distribution (Vidani J. N., 2022).A shift from the traditional retail freight environment to a new physicality of freight distributions involving facilities, modes, and channels that are specifically created is being favored by e-commerce.In order to establish a distributional hierarchy of facilities providing logistical access to consumer markets, Amazon's scenario highlights a consistent locational behavior.The three steps of the distributional hierarchy are last-mile, distribution, and procurement and fulfillment.

Amazon E-Commerce Operations
The largest online retailer in the world and a well-known supplier of cloud services is Amazon (Amazon.com).Amazon started out as an online book retailer but has since developed into a webbased business with a focus on digital streaming, cloud computing, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence (AI) services.Customers may buy practically anything from the company, which uses an Amazon-to-buyer sales strategy, thanks to its enormous product variety and inventory, which includes apparel, home goods, furniture, toys, jewelry, books, movies, electronics, pet supplies, and gourmet (Saxena & Vidani, 2023).This study chooses data from Amazon's annual reports for the years 2017 through 2021, examines profitability, solvency, and operating capacity indicators, and assesses the company's profit model financially using DuPont and cash flow analysis.

Amazon Supply Chain Strategy
Effective supply chain management is a critical component of every successful business's everyday operation.Fast supply chain performance has a significant impact on organizational operations management (Vidani, Das, Meghrajani, & Singh, 2023).The world's most successful companies, such as Amazon and Walmart, heavily depend on state-of-the-art supply chain logistics techniques.As a result, in this extremely competitive sector, every link in the chain experiences substantial innovation.

Amazon Role in the Industry
The giant of 21 st -century business is Amazon.It is no longer only a retailer; it is also a leading host cloud server space, a fashion designer, a producer of television and movies, a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment provider, a credit lender, an auction house, and a big book publisher.Despite its phenomenal expansion, Amazon makes very little money because it prefers to cut prices and grow rapidly.By employing this tactic, the business has established itself as a leader in e-commerce and is now the backbone of numerous other companies that rely on it.This company's behavior and organizational features raise anticompetitive issues, but antitrust inquiry has spared it.ThisNote makes the case that the existing antitrust paradigm is ill-suited to capture the structure of market power in the contemporary economy, particularly because it links competition to -consumer welfare,‖ which is defined as short-term price impacts (Vidani, Das, Meghrajani, & Chaudasi, 2023).If we use price and output as the primary metrics for measuring competition, we will be unable to recognize the possible harms that Amazon's dominance may cause.In particular, the risk of predatory pricing and the potential for anticompetitive integration across different business lines are both undervalued by the existing approach.There are two reasons why these worries are more significant when it comes to internet platforms.First, platform market economics incentivize a business to prioritize expansion over profits, a move that has been well received by investors.Predatory pricing becomes highly logical in these circumstances, despite the fact that current doctrine regards it as improbable and irrational.Second, by integrating across business lines, online platforms position themselves to control the vital infrastructure that their competitors rely on, as they act as crucial middlemen.This dual function also gives a platform the ability to use data it collects about businesses that use its services to discredit those businesses as (Bansal, Pophalkar, & Vidani, 2023).This Note delineates aspects of Amazon's hegemony.By doing this, we can better understand Amazon's business plan, highlight the anticompetitive elements of its behavior and organizational structure, and highlight the shortcomings in the present doctrine.In closing, the Note examines two possible approaches to countering Amazon's power: implementing common carrier duties and obligations or bringing back classic antitrust and competition policy concepts.

Supply Chain Efficiency Factors
-Supply chain plus the internet‖ one that combines strategic action with the internet, based on information technology and platforms, encourages the high fusion of supply chain components with contemporary science and technology, and improves supply chain efficiency.The fundamental components of an efficient supply chain are information technology guarantee and information sharing, which safeguard the -three flow‖-the efficient flow of materials, information, and funds-and maintain orderly movement throughout the chain.This essay examines the circumstances and issue surrounding the -three flow‖ and explores ways to use internet technology to increase the effectiveness of the supply chain system, from the customer to the manufacturer, to logistics, and to financial services.

Inventory Management
The network inventory management system's design, a crucial element of e-commerce, has a direct impact on operating costs and consumer satisfaction levels.Using the great flexibility and effectiveness of object-oriented technology, the article first uses UML to design and assess a network inventory management system for a real-world e-commerce application, and then it uses CORBA to construct it.

Order Fulfilment and Delivery
Order fulfillment at an online store is determined by the needs and expectations of the consumer.It is possible to designate a dynamic truck routing and scheduling system that enables online shoppers to choose the delivery window of their choice and have it confirmed at the time of purchase.The process creates phantom orders and phantom routes because it is predicated on demand (Chaudhary, Patel, & Vidani, 2023).Consequently, in an online client order procedure, real orders take the place of virtual orders.Both parallel insertion and parallel tour-building techniques are used in the routing and scheduling process.GPS tracking and tracing is used to confirm customer service levels, and artificial intelligence or expert systems are used as an input to the demand forecasting data in a feedback loop to restart the entire process.

Logistics and Warehousing
Higher standards for storage and logistics are emerging with the growth of the E-commerce logistics sector.These standards include the need for faster delivery times and more operational accuracy when handling large orders and SKUs.The variety and variation of E-commerce warehousing demands, however, is beyond the capabilities of the current fully automated (Patel, Chaudhary, & Vidani, 2023).Cellular warehousing is a versatile and changeable storage system that draws inspiration from cellular manufacturing.There aren't many systematic investigations on cell creation, scenario design, or physical emulation models, despite the fact that numerous articles have demonstrated this novel idea.This research has three goals in mind as it creates this conceptual model.First, the cellular warehousing operation flow and cell creation are understood.Second, with the backdrop of various order processing situations, application scenarios including both intra-and inter-cell operations are provided.Finally, as a test-bed for more qualitative assessment and insight abstraction, a physical emulation model is constructed.

Technology and Automation
E-commerce is now a major worry for everyone, not just business owners but also consumers looking to make hassle-free purchases, since the globe has entered the digital age.Global retail ecommerce sales are estimated to have nearly doubled in the last three years, from US\$ 1.3 trillion in 2014 to US\$ 2.3 trillion in 2017, and this growth pattern is expected to continue into the future.But this tendency calls for creative solutions, and one that will be important for the future of ecommerce is the use of automation technologies to logistics.As a result, the main focus of this study is on the actual application of automation technology in logistics.It also discusses the implications that using automation technology in logistics will have for e-commerce and how to prepare the sector for potential disruptions in the future.

Amazon's Supply Chain Innovations
The notion of supply chain management offers a way to optimize the flow of materials at the right time, place, and quantity, hence increasing the company's total productivity.The goal of this study is to determine how a supply chain management system has been implemented on Amazon's ecommerce, as the company is one of the supply chain systems under consideration today.This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, utilizing pertinent narratives sourced from reliable sources via online resources or searches.From the 1990s until 2022, there were about 100 different Ecommerce companies in the world, with a single sample being the Amazon Ecommerce company.The findings demonstrate how Amazon has pushed its rivals to automate more areas of the supply chain, speed up delivery, build more warehouses, and start producing their own goods.Amazon's supply chain is the most efficient in the world because to a combination of cutting-edge information technology, vast warehousing networks, multi-level inventory control, and dependable transportation.Amazon e-commerce businesses can benefit from six different supply chain management strategies: delivery options to customers; push/pull strategy for supply chain success; Amazon's warehouse classes and zones; warehouse automation; supply chain cost.

Amazon Prime and delivery Innovations
Technology road mapping has gained popularity recently due to the benefits it offers to businesses, which include strategic planning and technology alignment with business goals.The drone technology roadmap employed by Amazon for their newest service, Amazon Prime Air, is presented in this article.The shipping costs and delivery time are two key areas where the everincreasing competitiveness in the e-commerce sector is quite noticeable.In an attempt to address this issue and surpass its rivals, Amazon developed the idea of drone delivery.Drones are a costeffective and environmentally friendly shipping option that Amazon chose in order to reduce emissions, expedite delivery, and satisfy customers.Because of how quickly innovations in engineering are occurring, it is always challenging to forecast future technological developments.It is more difficult to foresee them in the absence of past data.Since drones have been around for a while, it is difficult to foresee the future.This article focuses on drones, which Amazon plans to employ for 30-minute Prime Air home delivery services.One of the main motivations behind the use of drones is the fact that time is extremely valuable in today's world.Drones can now be used by the military, to film sports and movies, to assist in search and rescue missions, and to monitor animals.Because of how quickly technology is developing every day, drones are turning out to be quite helpful to us in every way.

Fulfillment Centres and Robotics
The performance of robotic mobile fulfillment systems is analyzed and modeled in this paper.An automated parts-to-picker storage system, a robotic mobile fulfillment system uses robots to deliver product-filled pods to a workstation.It works particularly well for e-commerce distribution hubs that have significant demand swings and broad assortments of tiny products.The capacity to quickly modify the warehouse layout and automatically sort inventory is its most significant feature.For both single-line and multi-line orders, queuing network models are created in order to calculate average order cycle time, maximum order throughput, and robot utilization analytically.These models can be used to rapidly assess various robot zoning schemes or warehouse layouts.The models' inclusion of multi-line instructions and realistic robot driving behavior are their two primary contributions.The findings demonstrate that: (1) the analytical models accurately predict robot utilization, workstation utilization, and order cycle time; (2) the maximum order throughput is relatively unaffected by the storage area's length-to-width ratio; and (3) the placement of the workstations in relation to the storage area influences the maximum order throughput.

Data Analytics and Demand Forecasting
Big data sets about the demand for and cost of a broad range of products become available as Internet-based commerce spreads.These create new problems and challenges for statistics, but they also offer fascinating new avenues for empirical business and economic research.This article provides an overview of study that uses a sizable e-commerce panel data set obtained from Amazon.com to evaluate the merits of pricing discrimination in the software sector.We discuss the critical demand and cost-related criteria that need to be accurately assessed in order to carry out this research successfully, as well as our methodology for doing so.This covers techniques to estimate demand elasticity, variable costs, and the best pricing options using publicly available ecommerce data, as well as a way for -reverse engineering‖ actual demand levels from the sales ranks provided by Amazon.We conclude with a quick assessment of some of the most important issues that our analysis brings to light regarding the trustworthy statistical analysis of e-commerce data.

Measuring Supply Chain Efficiency
The secret to efficient supply chain management is having the right performance measurement system.Measuring the overall performance of the supply chain involves two challenges.One is the presence of several metrics that assess each supply chain participant's performance separately.The other is the presence of disputes over certain measurements amongst participants in the supply chain.Because of this, the effectiveness of a supply chain cannot be determined just by the performance of its participants.In order to achieve best practices and characterize and measure supply chain efficiency, a new approach is developed in this study.There are models available to quantify supply chain efficiency and assess each member's and the chain's overall performance.Based on our linear programming challenges, it is demonstrated that a supply chain as a whole has the ability to produce greater cost reductions and improved performance through coordination and information sharing.

Key Performance Indicators
The aim of this research is to create a reliable tool for assessing the performance of the conventional food supply chain while taking into account the opinions of various stakeholders.Therefore, focus groups and one-on-one interviews are used to first generalize the goals of stakeholders.Second, supply chain goals are formed after the goals of stakeholders are combined based on their specificity and conflicting/divergent character.Third, the developed supply chain goals are supported by a list of prospective performance indicators.Fourth, a selection of key performance indicators (KPIs) is made.Consequently, traditionalism, efficiency, responsiveness, quality, and chain balance-along with the performance metrics that support them-are developed as the five primary supply chain goals.Validating the instrument in other food and non-food sectors should be the main goal of future study.

Cost Efficiency and Time Metrics
The entire cost of product sourcing, production, and delivery is a key factor in determining competitive advantage in today's highly competitive global market.However, because supply chain processes cross organizational and functional boundaries as well as the constraints of conventional cost reporting methods, the true cost of operations in many organizations is frequently ambiguous or deceptive.Certain cost-based strategies have been devised to tackle these problems; nevertheless, they generally concentrate on the conventional accounting functional perspective of an entity, neglecting to encompass the business procedures implicated.Other strategies for enhancing supply chain performance, such time-based techniques, aim to increase productivity by locating and getting rid of non-value-added activity from supply chain activities.There is little knowledge about how time and cost relate to one another in different supply chains, despite the fact that measuring time can be a useful strategy for boosting value in the chain.Using an industrial case study as a guide, the article explores how combining time and cost analysis might yield a more accurate picture of supply chain performance and help improve decision-making.The study that follows shows how product expenses build up in the supply chain and sheds light on the relationship between time and cost in supply chain operations.

Customer Satisfaction
How can businesses in rapidly expanding industries combine effective supply chain management (SCM) with high levels of customer satisfaction?Propositions investigating that question were produced as a result of this inductive case study of six customer cases from Nokia Networks, one of the top suppliers of mobile telecommunications equipment.Good customer-supplier relationships are a key factor in dependable information flows, which in turn lead to high efficiency.These are well-researched topics that have also been examined in other industry contexts.However, in a rapidly expanding systems market like the mobile telecommunications sector, the provider must be able to modify its product to suit a broad range of client requirements and circumstances.Comprehending the customer's circumstances and requirements in conjunction with an appropriate offering fosters positive collaboration in enhancing the collaborative demand chain, ultimately resulting in increased demand chain effectiveness and elevated customer contentment.

Case Study Methodology
Manufacturers all around the world understand that effective cooperation with their supply chain partners is one of the most important elements for increased earnings in today's customer-driven marketplaces.It is obvious that the independent partners' activities need to be coordinated and their goals need to be aligned toward a single objective.This study offers an approach for locating effective supply chain plans in both centralized and decentralized industrial settings.Through the application of thorough and sophisticated search techniques, the methodology enables the creation of workable alternative production and transportation plans.Numerous userdefined criteria, including cost, time, environmental impact, and quality, are used to evaluate the plans.The generated alternatives can be applied to the planning and management of geographically distributed facilities engaged in highly customized product production.The method is applied to a tool and used in a case study on automobiles.

Data Collection
Supply chain management is a broad term that includes a number of different procedures, such as different traditional logistical tasks and additional procedures.Coordination and integration mechanisms, which are long-term tactics that provide competitive advantage through overall supply chain efficiency, assist these activities up to a point.One of the main innovations and factors contributing to the success of these cooperation tactics is information technology, which is used for data collection, sharing, and gathering, information exchange, and process optimization using package software.This paper focuses on a few areas of the supply chain, such as inventory sharing between suppliers and customers, forecasting customer demand, and the integration of product information throughout the value chain.It also suggests conducting a study to identify the methods used for collaborative works in the supply chain.

Data Analysis
A supply chain Is an interconnected network of manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers.Suppliers make up the first chain, while buyers make up the last.High-quality products with the biggest benefits at the lowest cost are crucial to the supply chain.Each input, output, and intermediate has unit cost and unit price information in this regard.For a supply chain to be managed effectively, cost reduction and profit maximization are crucial.The various aspects of efficiency, including technical, cost, revenue, and profit efficiency, can be assessed using data envelope analysis (DEA).This article aims to assess the efficiency of cost, revenue, and profit in both multi-stage and three-stage supply chains.A numerical example is provided to demonstrate these models.In the end, we contrast the outcomes of variable returns to scale (VRS) with constant returns to scale (CRS).Key words: profit efficiency, revenue efficiency, cost efficiency, supply chain management (SCM), and data envelope analysis (DEA).

Case Study Selection
These days, supply chain management is used by many enterprises, and the choice of suppliers is crucial to a company's success.Consequently, the company's supply chain serves as a risk diversifier.A possible fluctuation in results that lowers operational efficiency is known as supply chain risk.This study examines supplier selection risk variables in the electrical and electronic industries.The study's findings aid in understanding the critical elements in supplier selection.In order to manage the supply chain more effectively and efficiently, practitioners can benefit from an understanding of risk factors through the analysis of elements that have a significant impact on supply chain management findings.Keywords: factors, supplier selection, and exploration.

Data Analysis and Finding
The Importance of several criteria for a supply chain performance measurement model is discussed in this study.The criteria were derived from recommendations made by other researchers as well as the outcomes of earlier studies.The criteria are separated into two groups: effective and efficient.Using random sampling techniques, a survey was carried out to find out which criteria can be utilized to evaluate a supply chain performance measurement model.Supply chain players from various industry domains (both manufacturing and services) in Indonesia were given questionnaires.Pairwise comparisons with an analytical Hierarchy Process model were used to analyze the data, and the results indicated that efficient criteria were more significant than effective criteria.Three sub-criteria made up the efficient criteria: the result is delivered in an easy-tounderstand format, the quantity of data is not excessive, and the cost is minimal.The following characteristics, ranked in order of significance, made up the effective criteria: validity, responsiveness, comprehensiveness, dynamics, and clarity.It will need further investigation to create a model that satisfies these requirements.

Efficiency Matrics for Amazon
Strong-form efficiency in the housing market, when prices completely include private information, is demonstrated by this study.To identify shifts in public awareness, we analyze Amazon's gradual revelation of its new headquarters locations in Virginia and New York.Employing a spatial difference-in-differences methodology, we examine if home values rise prior to Amazon's public declarations.Prior to Amazon's choice, housing prices in the Virginia headquarters showed a 4.3% premium, but there was no further increase after the selection.Prior to the decision, the price premium for New York was 17.5%, but it vanishes when Amazon closes the headquarters.There is no price premia in other finalist cities, thus speculation is not possible.

Customer Experience and Loyalty
Scholars have not yet conducted a detailed analysis of supply chain agility's effects on the customer experience, despite the recent abundance of research on the subject.In order to close this gap, we evaluate how supply chain agility affects consumer value and happiness, taking into account the moderating influence of customer loyalty, from the viewpoints of end users (B2C) and corporate customers (B2B).,Inorder to assess the direct, indirect, and conditional effects across survey responses from 148 senior-level supply chain managers (buyers) in Study 1 and 170 endcustomers (i.e., consumers) in Study 2, we employed multivariate regression analysis.,The findings show that supply chain agility is still directly related to the value and satisfaction of both B2B and B2C transactions.Higher levels of consumer loyalty, however, weaken these bonds, indicating that flexibility is less crucial with In this regard, agility is crucial for luring in new clients, but once a relationship with a client is formed, more agility may not necessarily be advantageous.One of the earliest studies to look at how end users react to supply chain agility is this one.The results add to the body of literature already in existence by offering fresh perspectives on how supply chain agility affects end users and business clients (B2B and B2C).

Comparative Analysis
We separate the supply chain into two cases: one for a central control system (CCS) and the other for a decentralized control system (DCS).We then analyze the supply chain efficiency between the two cases.We discover that under the CCS example compared to the DCS case, a capitalintensive industry's supply chain efficiency is more favorable.In the CCS scenario, the optimal supply chain efficiency can be attained by selecting the highest price that the downstream firm is willing to pay for intermediate items, or the lowest price that the upstream firm is willing to accept.

DISCUSSION
The structure of supply chains severely limits their efficiency.The Impact of various decisionmaking frameworks on supply chain efficiency is covered in this essay.This research shows that the efficiency loss of supply chains is endogenous under non-cooperative decision structures, and that the more power merchants possess, the more efficient the system is.This is demonstrated by the examination of both complete and asymmetric information.

Interpretation of Research Findings
The notion of supply chain management offers a way to optimize the flow of materials at the right time, place, and quantity, hence increasing the company's total productivity.The goal of this study is to determine how a supply chain management system has been implemented on Amazon's ecommerce, as the company is one of the supply chain systems under consideration today.This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, utilizing pertinent narratives sourced from reliable sources via online resources or searches.From the 1990s until 2022, there were about 100 different Ecommerce companies in the world, with a single sample being the Amazon Ecommerce company.
The findings demonstrate how Amazon has pushed its rivals to automate more areas of the supply chain, speed up delivery, build more warehouses, and start producing their own goods.Amazon's supply chain is the most efficient in the world because to a combination of cutting-edge information technology, vast warehousing networks, multi-level inventory control, and dependable transportation.Amazon e-commerce businesses can benefit from six different supply chain management strategies: delivery options to customers; push/pull strategy for supply chain success; Amazon's warehouse classes and zones; warehouse automation; supply chain cost.

Lesson from Amazon's Case
Any supply chain's design and management revolve around logistical services.Modern supply chains, like those found on Amazon, Alibaba, or JD.com, are pushing the boundaries of traditional markets in ways that both impact and are influenced by consumer behavior thanks to recent technological advancements.Corporations are altering the way resources are used in production from an economic standpoint.In order to achieve a cost-risk tradeoff equilibrium, management actions at the business level adhere to risk management and cost efficiency principles.Theoretically, the activities that are arranged inside the company's boundaries are only those that the markets cannot provide a more effective substitute for, while logistics services-like transportation, to name a few-mediate the relationship between buyers and sellers, or supply and demand in the market.Logistics must change and adapt to new and growing issues, its costs, and hazards to end customers as technological innovation, societal development, and consumer behavior threaten businesses' established boundaries.

CONCLUSION
We may now return to our original plan and talk about how we carried it out.The thesis aims to investigate the connection between logistics and ecommerce in business-to-consumer (B2C) enterprises.We employed three goals to better accomplish our purpose.They are as follows: i. Explain how logistics and e-commerce are coordinated generally, and specifically with Amazon.com.ii.Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the logistics industry while a business is creating e-commerce.Iii.Determine how to organize logistics while creating ecommerce and describe the e-commerce development that Amazon.com is undertaking.Amazon China has begun to receive notice of this cooperation, and it has also gained popularity.A crucial component of ecommerce and a means of satisfying consumer demands is the growth of logistics.
The two industries' coordination is still insufficient; therefore businesses, employees, and ecommerce enterprises must be integrated.
Relevant literature is described to achieve the three goals.A review of pertinent literature is conducted to get an understanding of concepts related to third-party logistics (3PL), business-tocustomer (B2C) e-commerce, and logistics.Additionally, in order to provide a coherent framework for our thesis, we divide each of the two research topics into a number of sub questions.After that, pertinent data is gathered, and analysis techniques are applied using various Let logistics handle the transportation by utilizing Amazon's dedicated logistics zone within the region.Another reason Amazon has its own logistics division is that they care deeply about delivery, see using it as a competitive advantage, and receive direct feedback from customers.Then grow the company based on the comments from Customer.
Certain steps can be taken to address the logistical shortfall.Bolster the theory of contemporary logistics and e-commerce and absorb cutting-edge concepts, theories, and practices from outside.In order to promote the theoretical circle in e-commerce and logistics difficulties, Amazon can benefit from studying the findings of research on logistics management conducted in other nations.Take detours and attempt to take shortcuts in order to accelerate the development of e-commerce logistics in China.Additionally, the network's favorable development and logistic service system are beneficial.
In order to meet customer demands, a comprehensive logistics system must be developed when developing e-commerce.E-commerce companies can be saved at the same time as logistics systems evolve.Businesses require a more advanced technology logistics system, and they should prioritize the service industry.In order to meet customer demands, a comprehensive logistics system must be developed when developing e-commerce.E-commerce companies can be saved at the same time as logistics systems evolve.Businesses require a more advanced technology logistics system, and they should prioritize the service industry.

Strategies for E-Commerce Company
The advances in information technology have prompted the development of many supply chain information-sharing strategies, including electronic point of sales (EPOS), vendor-managed inventory (VMI), e-shopping, emergency transshipments, and so on.However, variations in the business environment can produce uncertainty and increase decision-making complexity for enterprises selecting from various supply chain information-sharing strategies.An effective and efficient supply chain strategy should be capable of reducing costs and raising customer-service levels, and should be capable of enhancing the robustness of the supply chain.In this study, the robustness of different supply chain strategies under various uncertain environments is studied using the simulated beer game.Techniques included Taguchi methodology and multiple criteria decision-making methods (MCDMs), including simple multiple attribute rating technology (SMART), technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and grey relational analysis (GRA).The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio for each criterion is calculated to indicate the robustness of performance.This S/N ratio is used to determine an overall evaluation among various supply chain information-sharing strategies.The simulation results show that eshopping has the most robust performance in uncertain environments.
Numerous supply chain information-sharing solutions, such as electronic point of sale (EPOS), vendor-managed inventory (VMI), e-shopping, emergency transhipments, and others, have been developed as a result of information technology advancements.However, when businesses choose from a range of supply chain information-sharing solutions, fluctuations in the business environment can lead to uncertainty and complicate decision-making.Reducing expenses, improving customer service, and strengthening the supply chain's resilience are all goals of an efficient and successful supply chain strategy.This study uses a simulated beer game to examine the durability of various supply chain methods under various unpredictable conditions.The Taguchi methodology and multiple criteria decision-making methods (MCDMs) were employed as techniques.These included grey relational analysis (GRA), order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and simple multiple attribute rating technology (SMART).Each criterion's signal-tonoise (S/N) ratio is computed to show how robust the performance is.The overall assessment of different supply chain information-sharing systems is determined using this S/N ratio.According to the simulation results, ecommerce performs best in unpredictable contexts.

Potential Areas for Improvement
In recent years, the e-commerce market has grown significantly, and the online retail market has become very competitive.Online retailers strive to improve their supply chain operations to reduce costs and to improve customer satisfaction.Value stream mapping (VSM), a tool created by the lean production movement to identify and reduce errors, losses, and lead time and to improve value-added activities, has been proven to be effective in many manufacturing processes.In this study, we investigate the application of value stream mapping (VSM) in the supply chain of an ecommerce retailer on Amazon.By visualizing the entire supply chain with VSM, the waste that is produced during the delivery process from the retailer to the customer was identified.The five whys method was then applied to find the root cause of the waste.Furthermore, a scoring method was developed to evaluate and compare two different supply chain logistic models to identify a strategy for improvement.This study provides a systematic methodology to understand, evaluate, and improve the entire e-commerce supply chain process utilizing VSM.It was demonstrated that the methodology could improve supply chain management efficiency, customer satisfaction, and cost reduction.
