Improve Supply Chain

Nowadays, industries are continually looking to implement new subsidiaries in different continents, in order to better fulfill their customers’ needs, generate the best products in the shortest time and cheaper than their competitors. Achieving these goals is no longer related to the company itself, but to all partners in the supply chain. This justifies the need for efficient and judicious management of the whole supply chain, through the collective intervention of all its actors. Needless to say, a supply chain is a system made up of a set of suppliers, producers, subcontractors, retailers, wholesalers and customers, between whom material, information and financial flows are exchanged. Management of these flows is becoming increasingly difficult and constitutes the main source of the supply chain complexity. In order to alleviate this problem and improve supply chain performance, it is necessary to model it, taking into consideration its characteristics, which make it a complex system. Hence, the scoop of this paper is to prove that supply chain is a complex system, by highlighting its most relevant characteristics that make it such a system. Complex means what is braided together or woven together. If we separate the elements, we get acquaintance elements, but we lose their interactions. Within this trend, our contribution subscribes with its ultimate purpose modelling supply chain as complex system.

Improve Supply Chain

Ambidexterity involves developing competencies to excel simultaneously on the exploration and exploitation dimensions. Few studies in literature discuss ambidexterity in a supply chain context. The research presented in this paper highlights issues that act as barriers and deserve attention in implementing ambidextrous supply chain strategy in SMEs. To develop a relationship structure existing among these variables, Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) technique is used. Further, variables' impact and dependency is calculated using Impact Matrix Cross-Reference Multiplication Applied to a Classification (MICMAC) approach. ISM algorithm proves to be a better tool as compared to a large-scale generic questionnaire based study due to its iterative nature that helps to bring forth issues that are difficult to identify otherwise. SMEs in India under tremendous pressure to excel on exploration and exploitation dimensions would be the major beneficiaries of this study. The hierarchy based structure and the classification of factors based on their impact and dependence, will enhance the understanding of SMEs mangers/owners to improve supply chain performance by eliminating barriers and thereby implementing ambidextrous strategy across the supply chain.

Supply Chain Analysis

This study aimed to analyze trends demand, supply chain performance, supply chain flows and S-C-P (structure-conduct-performance. Research was conducted in July - August 2020 at PT Kebun Bumi Lestari (The Farmhill). The research method used survey with a total of 30 respondents, i.e. 5 suppliers, 15 producers, 5 retailers, and 5 consumers. The samples were determined using accidental sampling for consumers and snowball sampling for other chains. Data was analyzed using time series analysis for forecasting, margins and marketing efficiency analysis for supply chain performance, supply chain flow with flow of goods, finance and information, and the S-C-P approach. The result of forecast was the demand will increase in 2021, while the land area will decrease in 2021. Efficiency and marketing margins at producers and retail were 11% and 8%, Rp 13,500 and Rp 7,600, -. The flow of goods moved from upstream to downstream certainty, delivery on time, quality and quantity were fulfilled. Financial flows moved from downstream to upstream, with payments running as expected, information flows from upstream to downstream and vice versa in a transparent manner. The S-C-P approach for Structure, it was classified as oligopoly market with 40% market share. Conduct, selling rare and hydroponically grown products as a part of their product startegy, price strategy with reference to competitive pricing, general business conditions, quality, production costs, purchasing power, and demand. Promotion strategies, i.e. direct marketing, sales promotion, personal selling. Performance, marketing margin was efficient and profit ratio more than 1.

Supply Chain Operation

The high potential of fisheries in Banyuwangi has caused many canned sardine processing industries to be established, one of which is PT. Sumber Yalasamudra in Muncar District. In recent years the population of lemuru fish has decreased so that PT. Sumber Yalasamudra must be able to carry out good supply chain management so that the production process continues to run smoothly. This study aimed to analyze the supply chain flow and supply chain performance of PT. Sumber Yalasamudra. The research method used descriptive analysis to explain supply chain flow and SCOR analysis to measure supply chain performance of PT. Sumber Yalasamudra. The results of the analysis showed that the supply chain flow of PT. Sumber Yalasamudra are divided into 3 streams, namely (a) product flows from fishermen to final consumers (buyers), (b) financial flows flowing from downstream to upstream in cash with a period of time and (c) information flows flowing from upstream to downstream and vice versa, and supply chain performance of PT Sumber Yalasamudra based on 5 attributes of SCM (Supply Chain Management) it can be concluded that PT Sumber Yalasamudra has a good performance because it is in a superior position.
