This paper firstly studies financial risk cognition of the agricultural products supply chain, and then proposes four sources of agricultural products supply chain financial risks. Furthermore, this paper builds the financial risk evaluation index system of agricultural products supply chain. The index system of financial risks includes: financial risks of external environment, credit risk of processing...
The aim of this study is to examine the critical Supply Chain Knowledge Flow Barriers (SCKFBs) and depicts the causal relations among them in the case of an Indian organization. A total of 13 SCKFBs were identified from the previous literature review. The DEMATEL method combined with the fuzzy logic is employed to identify the cause and effect group SCKFBs. Seven critical SCKFBs are identified through...
AS the number of products and services increase sharply, the supply chain structure under the e-business environment is more complicated and diverse. This paper describes a model for the supply chain under the e-business environment, which consists of three products and five trade services, including distribution, transfer, payment, sale, certification. We try to discuss the structural changes of...
At the interface between supply chain management and business intelligence for SMEs, the focus of this paper is twofold: (i) ) it seeks to show how to develop a strategic approach and qualitative-type “business intelligence” in SME' Supply Chain; (ii) it also aims to show how the processes of competitive intelligence can be embedded in SME's supply chains and create value for everyone involved, or...
The Knowledge Management (KM) adoption in the Supply Chain (SC) is prolonged as well as expensive and its impact needs longer time. Hence, the forecasting of the success of KM adoption in SC is required before going to its actual adoption. This study presents a combined method of fuzzy DEMATEL and FMCDM to forecast the success of KM adoption in SC. The fuzzy DEMATEL method is used to evaluate weighting...
We propose a modeling approach based on belief networks to capture and understand the systemic nature of risks affecting supply networks. By aligning the purpose of a model with the nature of supply management decisions, we provide a mechanism for identifying relevant supply risks so that we can visualize inter-dependencies between risks and predict their effects on supply performance. By using a...
This paper presents a work in progress simulation and a novel model for estimating the impact of cyber attacks. Previous methods so far, have taken the old - fashioned "intuition" approach - a qualitative or quantitative risk based analysis on the business level. More recent technical approaches involve simulations on networks of systems and sensor input from 3rd party detection tools of...
The aim of this paper is to identify the priority weights of Information sharing Enablers (ISEs) in Supply Chain (SC). These ISEs are selected form the literature reviews and expert discussion. Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relationship (CFPR) is used to prioritize these ISEs for supporting effective information sharing (IS) in SC. The pair wise comparisons of ISEs are established using a scale indicating...
This article studies agricultural product transfer process, and gets the reason for that the price gap between the origin and the final markets becomes bigger. By analyzing of enterprise's behavior, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of vertical constraints of agriculture prices to save cost. The final conclusion of the paper is that the vertical constraints can improve the cooperation efficiency...
Preference has been included in the dominating economic theory for intensive analysis, as the understanding and explanation of the human action may be passively entrapped to some extent if the actor's preferences are disregarded in the economic behavior research. The supply chain knowledge sharing preference space model is to be constructed based on kinds of actor's preferences analyzed and indicated,...
The members of the ecosystem encompassing our organization are affected by our decisions just as we are affected by their decisions. If an organization takes on technical debt with respect to a specific asset, that decision will affect users of the asset either directly or indirectly. In this position paper we distinguish between incurring technical debt directly and experiencing the effects of technical...
This descriptive study illustrates the first practical analysis of ITESCM (Integrated Tertiary Educational Supply Chain Management) model which was developed by Habib [10] for the academia, especially for tertiary educational institutions. ITESCM model addresses the integrated form of supplied inputs, supplied outputs, education supply chain, research supply chain and educational management for the...
In this paper, the author extends a prior model of supply-chain commonalities [1] to incorporate the impact of major catastrophes. Such disastrous events as the September 11, 2001 attack on New York's World Trade Center and the earthquake and tsunami that hit north-eastern Japan on March 11, 2011 wreak havoc with supply chains even when well-planned diversification and disaster-recovery strategies...
This paper designs a multi-agent based framework for supply chain coordination in construction management through adopting the agent technology and regarding the construction supply chain as a typical multi-agent system. This framework integrates the specialty agents (contractor agent, designer agent, supplier agent, owner agent) and service agents (coordinator agent, monitor agent, name server agent)...
In recent years, studies on supply chain and knowledge management are hot spots for the scholars at home and abroad. Based on studies on knowledge sharing in supply chain and by integrating supply chain with knowledge management, this paper inquires into the contents of knowledge sharing and knowledge transferring modes in supply chain and proposes the supporting system for promoting knowledge sharing...
In the virtual organization environment, supply chain not only exists between the internal member enterprises of the virtual organization and within the member enterprise, but also exists in the supply and cooperation relationship between the virtual organization and external environment. The research of virtual organization integration need consideration in the supply network system of globalization,...
In this paper we examine the interdependencies and common points of failure (and attack) that plague commonly-used system and network hardware and software. The proposed approach requires not only generating inventories of acquiring organizations' equipment and software products, and clear and detailed descriptions of every link in the supply chain, but also the identification of common components...
In order to solve the problem of multiple objective conflicts in supply chain to form collaborative system, effective cooperating mechanism is necessary to be built up. The influence of cooperation on supply chain behavior is analyzed and effective cooperation mechanism in supply chain is presented in the paper. Trust development in supply chain is studied specially. Influencing factors of trust development...
As an important part of logistics, fresh agricultural products logistics is a key branch of modern logistics. This article first introduced the concept and characteristics of fresh agricultural products logistics, described the difference between cold -chain logistics of fresh agricultural products and the ordinary industry logistics, introduced the developing condition of Chinese agricultural products...
A fractal-based supply chain has a self-similarity, self-organization and self-optimization features, among them the self-similarity is the most basic feature. Each fractal unit of supply chain is similar to it's pattern or subordinate organization in structure,values,program execution, etc. In this paper,self-similarity of the fractal supply chain has been studied based upon fractal theory, and a...
