This paper studies supply chain quality management (SCQM) form a new perspective of immune theory, which is borrowed from the research achievements of biology. Firstly, we introduce the concept of SCQM, analyzing the similarities between SCQM system and the immune system. Secondly , we summarize and analyze the four aspects of the immune: recognition, learning, memory, effects. Thirdly, we integrate...
Firstly, this paper discusses the value of the information sharing in supply chain, Then it sets up model of information sharing comprehensive benefit in supply chain. Finally, it analyzes incentive mode and corresponding strategy in order to promote the performance in the whole supply chain.
According to analyze the whole process of logistics outsourcing, identify the potential risks in every phase for logistics outsourcing including the decision-making phase, the implementation phase and the termination phase. On this basis, a logistics outsourcing management system was constructed with a view to risk aversion. The system put the outsourcing object at the core, include four blocks which...
Management innovation is the key element for an enterprise's sustainable development, which determines whether an enterprise can stand out in the fierce competition of 21st century, and develop rapidly so as to keep an enterprise sustainable running. Through empirical research on innovative management of Delixi-electric Co.Ltd, a Sino-French joint venture, this article summarizes the practice of the...
Based on literature review, influencing factors model of sourcing in China is constructed, and 14 hypotheses are put forward. 109 companies are surveyed and efficient data is analyzed using multiple regression method. The results from our survey show that asset specificity and cost have significantly negative influence on the extent of sourcing in China; entry mode, policies, exchange rate, tariff...
Without a clear understanding of the benefit associated with different levels of flexibility, companies are reluctant to invest in flexibility, especially when reliable data, accurate cost and benefit analysis are difficult to obtain. In this paper, the flexibility theory and models are elaborated, then the five risk sources exist in the supply chain were pointed out, in the end measures using elasticity...
The paper presents an approach towards a new concept for maintenance supply chain (MSC) optimisation exemplified on spare parts management and its logistic chain. Maintenance organisations operate in complex supply chains confronted with strong interdependencies (e.g. integration of service and logistics providers). Concurrently they need to perform efficiently to guarantee the required availability...
The construction industry is being asked by more progressive clients to change its crude ways of working and to adopt more efficient business processes to improve its performance by adopting supply chain management (SCM) practices that have evolved in more advanced industries. Collaboration among the members of SCM plays a critical role to implement an effective SCM, but its implementation would not...
This study uses frameworks from the supply chain management (SCM) and strategy literatures to explore the relationship among learning, trust, and innovation in Chinese auto component sectors. Statistical analysis of the responses of 81 Yangtze River delta auto component manufacturing companies leads to the development of a strategic relational typology which is useful in explaining auto-component...
High degree of uncertainty in wafers cycle time brings semiconductor manufacturers' difficulty in making feasible order promise. After analyzing the roots of deficiencies in conventional order promising method, we develop a method called CRMPO (Capacity Reserved for Multi-Priority Orders) to promise orders. By dividing all orders into several priorities and reserving capacities for each priority in...
This paper is concerned with the comparison of a factory managed inventory (FMI) supply chain to a traditional forecast-based orders supply chain. The particular emphasis of this paper is the impact the FMI structures have on the ''Bullwhip Effect'' generated within the supply chain. We especially focused on the relationship between the sales site and the factory site, and the developed FMI supply...
For the characteristics of the coal enterprises and the status quo of its supply management, with the idea of supply chain management, the main problems of the coal enterprise supply logistics system are analyzed, the logistics resources of coal enterprises are integrated, the supply logistics system of the whole enterprise is optimized, the supply logistics activities are rational organized, so that...
Labor flexibility is the expression of JIT (just in time) in human resource. In order to realize the lowest resource consumption under supply chain management, organizations not only should pay attention to production planning and controlling and inventory management, but also attach importance to the human resource flexibility management. This paper analyzes the human resource levels and job attributes...
Efficient performance measurement on reverse supply chain (RSC) is the basis of optimizing RSC. In view of the shortage and deficiency on performance measurement of RSC, in this paper, an integral performance measurement index system is designed based on balance score card (BSC) and RSC structure characteristics, including a set of finance, customer, internal business process, learning and developing...
This article analyzed knowledge transfer process systematically among supply chain members and discuss the relationship between factors of influencing knowledge transfer and knowledge transfer performance based on the current research on knowledge transfer process and the characteristics of the knowledge transfer among supply chain members. Applied the basic principle of weighted small-world network...
In order to help complex products' users choose the right supplier, an evaluation model based on ELECTRE method was put forward. In the model, a three-layer architecture, which was composed of overall objective layer, second objective layer, and attribute layer, was set up. Then the weights of individual indicators were determined based on fuzzy AHP method. Subsequently the final result of the evaluation...
Over the past few years, analysis of successful manufacturing and retail companies shows that in today's hyper-competitive business environment, supply chain efficiency is a necessary condition for survival. Falling margins, globalization, and accelerating innovation cycles are forcing businesses to switch from traditional supply chains to new pattern of supply chain which needs to respond to their...
As a new type of management pattern, ”cluster supply chain” (CSC) can help SMEs to face the global challenges through all kinds of collaboration. However, a major challenge in implementing CSC is the gap between theory and practice in the field. The recent rapid commercialization and adoption of ”service” technologies has driven a process of transforming theory into practices. In an effort to provide...
This paper presents the application of workflow-based agents to the field of Supply Chain Management. While the use of multi-agent systems has long been advocated for the coordination of planning between companies and different prototypes have been implemented, a comprehensive discussion on what technologies and architectures are most beneficial for this case and how these can be provided for specific...
