Sample File

This research study focuses on the current topic of supply chain management which serves as a tool for manufacturing enterprises to cope with pressure put on them by continuously changing market conditions and the global economy itself. Paper presents the results of research conducted on the sample file of Slovak production enterprises. The main aim of this research study is to explore the extent of achieving agility, adaptability and alignment as secondary effects of supply chain flexibility in Slovak manufacturing enterprises. Representativeness of the sample file was confirmed by the application of Pearson´s chi-squared test (χ2 - test) due to the criterion of an enterprise’s size. The results of this research provide a clear image of business reality in terms of supply chain organization and therefore have implications for business practice which may serve managers in their decision-making process in supply chain management.

The Impact

The purpose of this research is to better understand the impact of supply chain management (SCM) and flexibility on firm performance, as well as the role of competitive advantage in mediating the model in Indonesian agriculture companies. Companies must apply supply chain management and supply chain flexibility (SCF) to boost industrial competitiveness, which impacts firm performance. To ensure that supply chain management supports the company's strategy, companies must evaluate supply chain concerns. From the literature search, researchers have not found any published studies or articles on SCM and SCF in their influence on firm performance through competitive advantage, specifically for corn companies in Indonesia. The population in this study includes agriculture companies in Indonesia. Sampling was carried out using probability sampling technique, the total population of 200 obtained a sample size of 133.333 which can be rounded up to 134 research samples. The inferential statistical method used in the data analysis of this study was the Partial Least Square Version 3 program. The study found that SCM influenced firm performance and SCF had a direct influence on firm performance. However, competitive advantage variable failed in being a mediator in SCM and SCF on firm performance.

Supply Chain Management System

Purpose Despite the ongoing calls for the incorporation of the cloud utility model, the effect of the cloud on elements of supply chain performance is still an evolving area of research. The purpose of this paper is to develop the architecture of a cloud-based supply chain management (C-SCM) ecosystem and explore how it enhances supply chain responsiveness (SCR). Design/methodology/approach First, the authors discuss the potential benefits that cloud computing can yield, compared to existing mature SCM information systems and solutions through a comprehensive literature review. The authors conceptualise SCR in terms of the level of visibility in the supply chain, supply chain flexibility and rapid detection and reaction to changes, and then the authors build the detailed architecture of a C-SCM system. The proposed ecosystem introduces a view of SCM and the associated practices when transferred to cloud environments. The potential to enhance SCR through the cloud is explored with scenarios on a case of supply chain operations in fashion retail industry. Findings The findings show that the proposed system can enhance all three dimensions of SCR. Implications for supply chain practice and how companies can migrate to a cloud supply chain are drawn. Originality/value Given that the development, creation and delivery of goods and services are increasingly becoming a joint effort of several parties in a supply chain, the authors contribute to the existing literature by introducing a comprehensive C-SCM system and show how companies can enhance their SCR.

Global Partnerships

Supply Chain Management (SCM) demands management of complex dependencies for sensitivity and sustainability on contest of teams, departments, drivers and matrices. It requires risk analysis of global partnerships, win-win contracts and sharing agreements with relevant companies. Supply Chain flexibility, drivers and metrics may include measurements for procurement, production, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, packaging and customer service. There are hundreds of sensitivity that can be used to score Supply Chain Management performance. These results would lead to support and accommodate the sustainability which can be influenced by supply strategies and decisions on supply chain flexibility.

Chain System

Logistics supply chain system management is the integration of key business processes from end user through original logistics suppliers that provides products, services, and information that add value for customers and other stakeholders. Due to the emergence of the global economy and intensified competition, many modern firms in the industry have recognized the importance of managing their logistics supply chains for fast product introduction and service innovations to the markets since the introduction of the term logistics supply chain management. For improved competitiveness, many modern firms in the industry have embraced the logistics supply chain management to increase organizational effectiveness and achieve such organizational goals as improved customer value, better utilization of resources, and increased profitability, through suitable design and effective operating of logistics supply chain system.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to question the applicability of recent industry-derived terms such as “Big Data” (BD) and the “Internet of things” (IoT) in a supply chain managerial context. Is this labeling useful in managing the operations found in supply chains? Design/methodology/approach BD and IoT are critically discussed in the context of a complete supply chain organization. A case study of banana supply from Costa Rica to Norway is provided to empirically ground this research. Thompson’s contingency theory, Alderson’s functionalistic end-to-end “marketing channels” model, Penrose’s view of supply purpose associated with service provision, and particularities of banana supply reveal how end-to-end supply chains are complex systems, even though the product distributed is fairly simple. Findings Results indicate that the usefulness of BD in supply chain management discourse is limited. Instead its connectivity is facilitated by what is now becoming commonly labeled as IoT, people, devices and documents that are useful when taking an end-to-end supply chain perspective. Connectivity is critical to efficient contemporary supply chain management. Originality/value BD and IoT have emerged as a part of contemporary supply chain management discourse. This study directs attention to the importance of scrutinizing emergent and actual discourse in managing supply chains, that it is not irrelevant which words are applied, e.g., in research on information-enabled supply process development. Often the old words of professional terminology may be sufficient or even better to help manage supply.

Against the backdrop of market economy, the number of monopoly enterprises is decreasing. More and more enterprises inevitably have to be faced with the threats from their competitors and alternative products. Competition in a great many fields has entered a drastic phase, which makes a growing number of enterprises be aware of the fact that competition between all enterprises is just part of sustainable development and supply chain is definitely the secret of success for enterprises.Process of Simulation.Research of simulation usually involves the following aspects.Understand the system (2)Confirm the aim (3)Make a model with normative forms (4)Realize the model with computer language or software (5)Test whether the computer language truly demonstrates the notion of the model (6)Experiment design (7)Simulation experiment operation (8) Explore the essence (9)Put up a text for the work finished
