In this paper, we examine the changes of the firm's financial and operational performances after horizontal M&A, and further analyze the role of the operational performance, from the perspective of supply chain integration. Through the collection of 523 M&A samples from 2005 to 2013, we match the firms' performances of one year before, one year after and two years after the completion of the...
Many companies work with suppliers to increase flexibility, focus on their own core competencies and improve efficiency and cost along the supply chain. Working with suppliers and effectively integrating them to complex software supply chains is far from easy. Savings are much smaller and problems are more difficult to cure than with internal development. Obviously suppliers need to optimize both...
Based on supply chain inventory pledge financing, under the unified credit model, the research object is supply chain that consists of third-party logistics companies, financial institutions, manufacturers, small and medium retail businesses, research the TPL inventory credit decision problem when the market demand is random. The credit decision model of the third party logistics enterprises is constructed,...
Construction supply chain involves a multitude of stake holders, communication between different stake holders play the major role in construction projects. Cost and time over run of projects occur due to delay in communication. Despite of being one of the oldest industries, construction industry is still fragmented. Transferring and updating of information takes place repeatedly between different...
Today, assessing performance correctly is considered as one of the most powerful competitive, in this paper we will make a scope on the main used supply chain performance indicators in Morocco, based on the current literature and on the results of a qualitative study that was done, targeting to show the most common used supply chain performance indicators, and also raise the most important missing...
In order to monitor the performance of a supply chain, decision-makers have the habit to use performance indicators. However, the multiplicity of indicators, quantitative ones or qualitative ones, pushes to merge them, to simplify diagnostic and facilitate comparisons. In this work, we propose a new aggregation operator, aiming to fix drawbacks of usual arithmetic means. An extension to fuzzy logic...
Our research studies the harvest plan for aromatic coconut for the aromatic coconut manufacturers located in Ratchaburi province, Thailand. The supply planning is complex because there are many uncertain factors. For example, the number of coconuts in each crop is varied and depends on the season, water amount, soil fertility and pests. In addition, coconut price at farm gate is highly fluctuated...
The aeronautic industry is an industry that uses the most innovative technologies ensuring safety, quality and respect for the environment. Thus, the problem that arises is to manufacture, at the least cost, more comfortable, safer and more effective aircraft that meets the expectations of passengers and the requirements of the companies. As a matter of fact, our paper is aimed at and, through a hypothetical-deductive...
Nowadays, companies seek to optimize their position in the global market. To do so, they are forced to work together to maintain a competitive advantage based on a unified approach to value creation. This collaboration is increasingly taking place through information systems and technologies. This article aims to present the role of inter-organizational collaboration in the logistics information systems...
The purpose of this study is to measure the supply chain performance of the company with the approach of Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model and reveal the difference in the application of SCOR Model in the distributor company with retail and manufacturing company. This research was conducted at HOLIP Corp. This study use qualitative and quantitative data with descriptive type of research...
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...
In this paper, we try, on the one hand to describe the impact of an organizational change on supply chain management (SCM) in a Moroccan construction company, that decides to vertically integrate a technical activity instead of subcontracting it to specialized companies. On the other hand, we propose an approach that will help ensure a successful transition from the total subcontracting to the progressive...
This paper presents an empirical study, which analyzes the impact of Supply Chain Management (SCM) practices on logistics performance automotive equipment's. In this study, the chosen practice is “management of provider relationship”, while the chosen logistic performance is “provider performance”.
This article aims at studying the unprecedented case of physical and informational production flow management in the field of aeronautics. Given volumetry issues and the diversity associated with a large number of references, flow management efficiency remains one of the major problems for that industry. In this paper, our goal consists in analyzing the functioning of a pull flow management system...
We construct a two-echelon supply chain with one supplier and two retailers. Revenue sharing contract and lateral transshipment are considered in the discussed supply chain. We present a game model, and study how lateral transshipment under revenue sharing contract affects retailers' inventory choices and supply chain profit. Retailers choose their inventory levels by considering the possibility of...
When some agents in the supply chain are failure, the whole supply chain may be influenced. This paper presents a framework for identifying vulnerable agents in supply chain network. The framework consists of three main components: supply chain dynamic network, risk transmission model, and identifying vulnerable nodes. The supply chain dynamic network component consists of constructing the supply...
In order to survive in this competitive and ever changing market, manufacturers have to improve and enhance the competitiveness, flexibility, responsiveness and sustainability with the application of the cutting-edge technologies and innovative management methods. New concepts, i.e., Intelligent manufacturing, flexible manufacturing, agile manufacturing, network manufacturing, green manufacturing...
In this research, the aim is to identify and analyze the CSR practices which are crucial to put in place an effective and efficient CSR-based supply chain performance system. A list of 10 important CSR practices is recognized based on literature review and discussion with the field experts in the tyre industry located at National Capital Region (NCR) of India. As expert verdicts consist of definite...
The article examines trends of developing of the modern logistics concepts in warehouse management. The essence, the practical benefits and prospects of such ways are given. Using of modern kinds of storage control is considered in the article. The article provides detailed definitions of innovative logistics systems. The analysis of logistics concepts allows to identify their features, specifics...
In this paper, we argue that cost leader supply chain (or Defender SC) has more finance and production related integration; whereas differentiator supply chain (or Prospector supply chain) has more marketing and R & D related supply chain integration. If supply chain members have similar strategies and strategic decision making processes, it leads to better supply chain integration. We also relate...
