Managing risks in supply chains is challenging for most companies given that the globalisation process is strengthening production constraints and also introducing more procurements risks. This is difficult for smaller companies in particular as they lack the resources necessary to develop specific expertise or buy expensive tools. Our research aims to address these issues by proposing an easy to...
Composite materials, also known as fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs), possess advantageous properties like stiffness, light weight and resistance to corrosion that surpass that of traditional materials. Composite materials may give manufacturing companies the opportunity to improve the technical specifications of a component/structure and also impact the configuration of the supply chain. A European-based...
Counterfeit components have become a multi-million dollar, yet undesirable, part of the electronics industry. The profitability of the counterfeit industry rests in large part to its ability to recognize supply constraints and quickly respond, effectively taking advantage of a complex and vulnerable supply chain. Events like product obsolescence, long life cycles, economic downturn and recovery, local...
The factors of the knowledge innovation in service-oriented manufacturing industry supply chain is analyzed in this paper based on the literature on service-oriented manufacturing, supply chain and knowledge innovation, and a influencing factor system of service oriented manufacturing industry supply chain knowledge innovation is constructed. Then, the investment of knowledge innovation of technical,...
With the rapid development of industrial cluster, in particular the development of high-tech cluster, the supply chain model in cluster is also undergoing profound changes. Through the comparative analysis, this paper studied the difference of high-tech cluster and traditional cluster. On the basis, it further analyzed the changes of supply chain model in high-tech cluster, and got the conclusion...
When the globalization of supply chain is increasing, the gathering model of the traditional industrial cluster has taken place profound changes. In this paper, the relationship between supply chain and industrial cluster is analyzed firstly. And then the analysis model is built on the specialization theory, which gives an in-depth analysis on the impact of supply chain's development to industrial...
With the development of global economic integration, competition between enterprises has evolved to competition between supply chains. It is not enough for enterprise to focus on supply chain performance of its own, because neglecting behavior of rival, decision often deviates from optimal strategy, which can result in failure in competition. We studied the price competition of two-echelon supply...
We use the theory of operational research to describe a model to quantify the manufacturing process flexibilitypsilas effect on supply chain risk. From the result we can see flexibility can mitigating risk and a little flexibility can achieve nearly all the benefits of total flexibility. Also by comparing the result we can find that the effects on different enterprises are the same.
In the trend of the globalization of production, the intra-product specialization of supply chain is also undergoing profound changes. On the original vertical and horizontal specialization, there is a new model which is the intra-product specialization of supply chain. This model is the inevitable result of specialized production constantly refining. The paper is from this perspective to analyze...
Integrated Circuit (IC) industry is the essential lifeblood of Taiwanpsilas economy. For the collaborative firms in a global supply chain membership, resource utilization and performance management are always the most important concerns. The purpose of this study is to recognize the material and information flow in different supply chain patterns of IC industry in Taiwan, and further to establish...
