Ready Mix Concrete

The problem of construction supply chains is the fragmentation of unsustainable projects such as manufacturing. Therefore it is necessary to have supply chain performance indicator standards related to the procurement of materials that can be used as a reference for the performance of a project or contractor. The purpose of this study is to measure the performance of the construction supply chain with the perfect order fulfillment (POF) indicator adopted from the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) 12.0. The adoption stage starts from the definition in construction to the calculation of indicators in the project. The results showed that suppliers of steel and ready mix concrete at close range from the project had better performance. In the case study, the perfect order fulfillment performance of steel suppliers with a distance of 345 km is worth 89.476% while suppliers with a distance of 540 km are worth 87.535%. The supplier of ready mix concrete within 7.3 km is worth 95.355% and the supplier with a distance of 15.7 km is 91.705%.

Mode Of Transport

PurposeSeaports play an immeasurable role in the advancement of international trade. They have been the common avenue for the transportation of goods and services from one continent to another, and it has also been the linking transport of one mode of transport to another. The study sought to assess the effect of paperless information technology (IT)-based custom clearance at Ghana Seaports on businesses and industrial supply chains in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThe study conducted a survey with a sample size of 200 trading firms in Ghana.FindingsThe study discovered that IT-based port clearance has positive impact on customer order fulfillment, transaction cost reduction and supply chain relationships.Practical implicationsWith the aim of making Ghana the transportation hub of businesses in the sub region, the paperless custom clearance has the potential to reduce delays at the port and improve their supply chain.Originality/valueThis paper provides researchers with a contemporary perspective toward understanding the effect of paperless custom clearance on the supply chain of businesses in the West African sub region.

The Impact

Current information technology (IT), such as extended intranets (extranets) utilizing the components of the World Wide Web (WWW), makes information sharing between global supply chain partners feasible. Given this, an important issue is: What impact does efficient information sharing have on supply chain order fulfillment performance (specifically cycle time and inventory costs)? In this study, we focus on divergent differentiation supply chains (commonly associated with industries such as fashion apparel). We identify the impact of information sharing by simulating order fulfillment in this supply chain type and find inventory costs can be reduced while maintaining acceptable order fulfillment cycle times. This is true because information, which provides the basis for enhanced coordination and reduced uncertainty, can substitute for inventory.
