The aim of the study was to develop an optimisation method for management of current assets of an industrial enterprise by the concept of logistics supply chains. The ways of acceleration of working capital turnover at the stages of supply, production and marketing of goods and services have been identified. The necessity of applying the concept of supply chain management to working capital management has been justified. This allowed defining the management principles in the supply chain of an industrial enterprise. As a result, a method for optimization of enterprise current assets of an industrial enterprise as a central element of a supply chain has been offered. It has been proved that the presented method makes it possible to determine the effect of working capital acceleration both in the material and financial subsystems. A tool for realisation of this effect is the structuring of working capital by title deeds.

One of the firm's financial objectives is to minimize the time between making the payment for inputs and receiving payment for the outputs – the period for which working capital financing is required in the supply chain management process. In an attempt to reduce the level of working capital, a firm has to achieve some goals: to minimize cash available, reduce accounts receivables, extend its accounts payable, and shorten inventory days. To achieve these goals supply chain activities should be related with working capital requirements. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the relationship between supply chain management and working capital management. A theoretical framework is proposed as an evidence to prove the relationship between supply chain activities and working capital components. Consequently, this chapter investigates how improvements on working capital components can add value to the supply chain process.

The wave of globalization have dispersed supply chain internationally as production moved beyond national boundaries. Information Technology &communication have made the operations of supply chain much easier and all pervasive. The demands for operating globally has increased and businesses have transformed and identified valuable hidden sources to tap liquidity from within their own processes. [1]. Supply chain finance (SCF) is a hot topic in business circles and connects with supply chain management and trade finance. Organizations the world over are trying to merge the approach of supply chain management and trade finance into tangible benefits. With cash drying up & credit squeeze, Organizations are tapping new sources to finance their working capital needs and avenues for cost reduction are being explored in the entire supply chain. Financial managers have taken the lead to acquirecash and generate savings from supply chain logistics. For Organizations, working capital management is a key priority for increasing profitability without compromising on the day-to-day liquidity available for business. SCF is a niche segment in liquidity management & enormous value can be derived by pulling unnecessary cash locked from the processes in supply chain. This paper is an attempt to study the various supply chain finance topics in discussion today and how it is affects the working capital of an Organization. [2]

This study investigates the impact of enhanced enterprise resource planning (ERP) on firm performance through green supply chain management, supplier integration, and internal integration. The population is the manufacturer domiciled in East Java, Indonesia, which has implemented ERP and been certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the environmental management system. Data collection used a questionnaire designed with the five-point Likert scale. Of 243 manufacturers, 150 questionnaires were distributed, and 135 questionnaires are considered valid for analysis. Data analysis used smart PLS software. The result indicated that all eight predetermined hypotheses were supported. Enhanced ERP affects supplier integration, internal integration, and green supply chain management. Internal integration affects green supply chain management and firm performance. Supplier integration affects green supply chain management and firm performance. Green supply chain management affects firm performance. An interesting finding is that green supply chain management, internal integration, and supplier integration mediate the effect of enhanced ERP on firm performance. This study’s novelty lies in the research model that analyzes the relationship between the four constructs simultaneously with the green supply chain management, internal integration, and supplier integration as a mediating variable. The research provides an insight for the manager on how to improve the firm performance in supply chain management. This study could also contribute to the current research in supply chain management.

This case is about the Supply Chain of a pesticides producer (disguised as a hybrid seeds producer) that imported the raw material for its pesticides from its mother company in Switzerland, formulated and packed it in Karachi, and sold it throughout Pakistan. The company had two large warehouses in the country, many regional ware-houses, and a chain of retail outlets throughout the country. The company had been steadily losing market share to cheaper "generics" in the last 15 years. The company had also changed hands a few times in the last ten years and had been under pressure to reduce working capital requirements. The case looks at the typical challenges in supply chain management.

The purpose of this research paper was to find the impact of the supply chain on firm performance in Textile firm of Pakistan. Data was collected through questioners in the month of March 2018, Approximately 30 questioners were distributed among the managers of the ten textile organizations in Faisalabad which are expected to have the best knowledge about the supply chain operations and its impact on the performance of the organization, all of them responded positively. It is found that dimensions associated with SCM methods as well as explain the connection amongst SCM methods, aggressive benefit, as well as firm performance. The actual study focuses on the causal associations in between SCM exercise, aggressive benefit as well as firm performance as well as ignores the actual feasible recursive associations.

In the past ten years, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) attach great importance due to consumers, for-profit and profitless organizations, laws and regulations to the social and corporate responsibilities of consumers, so it has been recognized by practitioners and scholars. Supplier selection, environmental effect like a lockdown, and social cooperation and other SSCM programs can play an important part in realizing the triple bottom line (TBL) of economic, environmental, social assistances. In supply chain management (SCM), the sustainable supplier selection (SSS) and firm performance plays an important role. Traditionally, when evaluating SSS performance, organizations will consider a new framework to obtain the overall criteria/sub-criteria of the sustainability index by encapsulating sustainability. In this paper 12 sub-criteria for 3 pillars of sustainability as economic, environment and social performance is collected. Although there are many articles on SSS and evaluation, so far, research on sustainability issues is very limited. This study endeavours to propose a fuzzy multi-criteria approach to discuss SSCM planning, and studies the issue of determining a current model for SSS in the supply chain during COVID-19 based on the TBL method. For express the linguistic value of the subjective preference of experts we use triangular fuzzy numbers. By using fuzzy numbers to find standard weights for qualitative performance evaluation, then fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is proposed to find the ranking of SSS. However, COVID-19 has a negative role in SSS and in firm performance. The situation of lockdown due to COVID-19 has a negative effect on the performance of the organizations. An example is given of the proposed method.
