As the complexity of supply chain structures and the frequency of their disruptions rise, businesses are increasingly recognizing the value of supply chain reliability and resilience (SCRR). A number of efforts have been devoted to define SCRR or to develop risk mitigation strategies for their improvement. However, a key question remaining to be answered is how SCRR should be quantified. Existing...
In this paper, we study the purchasing strategy problem when the suppliers' reliability is uncertain. This problem is derived from the real world situation in the power metering device industry. Besides the price and product category each supplier can provide, the purchasing strategy is also influenced by other intangible impacts, i.e. wild fluctuations of suppliers' reliability and lead time can...
The business environment has become fiercely competitive due to higher customer expectations. The fierce competition has forced companies to enhance their competitiveness which leads to a need of supply chain performance measurement. Its existing tool appropriate and used broadly for SMEs in Thailand is the supply chain assessment tool (SCPAT) of Banomyong and Supatn. The SCPAT is capable of quantitatively...
Supplier Selection is a problem that supply chain managers have been facing for many years. Selecting the appropriate suppliers is no longer as simple as choosing only based on the price they offer. There are many criteria, which can be either quantitative or qualitative, to be considered. There is thus a need for an approach that can handle these criteria. Besides, as supply chains are becoming more...
The relationship between manufacturer and supplier in the automotive industry involves process of knowledge sharing. Knowledge sharing is an important process that may improve manufacturer and supplier performances. In a co-opetition business environment, companies tend to limit knowledge sharing, if they regard their partners as potential competitors. Trust is used to reflect the level of co-opetition...
This paper addresses a single-period dual sourcing problem with real option under uncertain supply and demand. A retailer, who faces the uncertain market demand, can source from a low-price but unreliable supplier and an expensive but reliable supplier. In order to manage the supply uncertainties and decrease the cost, the retailer orders product from the unreliable supplier and buys option from the...
In this paper we propose a methodology to build a dashboard for hospital medicines supply chain. This methodology, which we have called OPRI, is based on SCOR Model and ARIS and risk analysis.
An unforeseen event is a threat that can interrupt the operational process and has negative impacts on a supply chain system. To reduce the risks and improve the service level, hazard identification is one of the significant procedures in supply chain risk management (SCRM) to recognize the causes of undesired events across the supply chain network. However, the most SCRM studies in the chemical industry...
This research examines the influence of logistic service supply chain network (hereinafter referred to as the LSSC network) to the growth of logistic service integrator (LSI) from the perspective of social network. We divided the LSSC network into five sub-networks, they are social network, reputational network, marketing network, logistic collaboration network and logistic innovation network. We...
Currently a growing number of enterprises construct virtual organization(VO)s to meet the demands of social diversity and offer personalized services by forming collaborative service chains. However, service supply chains are usually combinations of different services offered by collaborative service providers. Thus, how to correctly analyze the closeness of social relationship between service providers...
This paper examines the current issues pertaining to the hardware security and how they could affect the overall security of applications such as the internet of things. Specifically, we review the ongoing industry-led activities aimed at mitigating the hardware threats through supply chain assurance. The impact of emerging technologies on hardware-based needs, and the need for technical standards...
Supply chains are critical to delivering components and products safely, affordably, and securely. However, these complex networks of suppliers, manufacturers, and customers are vulnerable to internal and external disruptions and subject to exploitation. This can result in adverse impacts to the system and inhibit value delivery. This paper presents a new generic electronics supply chain model that...
Advanced, highly specialized economies require instant, robust and efficient information flows within its value-added and Supply Chain networks. Especially also in the context of the recent Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing or cyber-physical systems initiatives more efficient and effective information exchange in supply networks is of paramount importance. The Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR)...
This paper develops and tests the measurement scales for service supply chain management (SSCM) process capability constructs. An extensive literature review and interviews were conducted to define the constructs and initial measurement items. The measurement items were refined by using the Q-sort method. Confirmatory factor analyses of a large-scale survey confirmed the unidimensionality, reliability,...
The development and expanding use of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems has had a number of positive impacts across numerous segments of industry. As ATE systems continue to mature, more and more versatile and complex ATE systems are becoming mainstays in production and product sustainment environments. Maintaining these ever more complex ATE systems presents a number of challenges that can be...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic analysis approach for assessing the reliability of supply chain for contingency operation consisting of several cities. We consider that the demand of cities and the quantity of products available at distribution centre are uncertain. Also, we analyze the case where the quality of products available at distribution center is considered uncertain. We evaluate...
This paper focuses on the supplier selection problem and the subsequent order allocation, extending an approach originally proposed by some of the authors for supplier ranking under uncertainty. The novel method integrates the cross-efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis and the fuzzy set theory to obtain a ranking of suppliers under nondeterministic evaluation criteria. Subsequently, a fuzzy integer...
The integrated model of production, supply and sale is put forward for enterprise logistics cost control. Considering the condition of the large number of random variables in a random environment, quasi linear stochastic programming model is put forward as a good way to deal with the above problem. In the inventory and profit problem, production volume, sale volume and transportation cost is random...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of market uncertainty on e-connection and process coordination with suppliers and the operational performance. A Structure Equation Model containing two intermediary variables is established. Through an empirical survey of 725 samples in an international study, the research findings show that: (1) market uncertainty has a negative impact on operational...
The objective of the study is to explore the impact of supply chain long term orientation on product quality and the mediating roles of goal congruence and communications. Data was collected through a Web survey of U.S. manufacturing firms in various industries. Structural equation modeling (LISREL) was used to analyze the data. The results and implications are discussed in the paper.
